Online Gambling Company Will Offer "Flying Casino"

22 Jan 2008

Long flights are definitely one of the most boring things in the world. After all, while being “trapped” inside a plane, thousands of miles above ground, there’s not much left to do. Reading a book or a magazine might be fun for a while, watching the in-flight entertainment movies can make a couple of hours pass away, but what should we do with the rest of the time ? Hopefully, starting from next year, passengers will be able to play their favorite online casino games from the “comfort” of their plane’s seats, so reports the British newspaper, “The Sunday Mirror”. By taking advantage of the relatively liberal UK gambling regulations, in-flight gambling will be made available in those long, exhausting, flights.

One of the major online casino sites already involved with this initiative is the super popular 888.com, which will offer the passengers all their favorite games, including poker, blackjack and roulette. : "We are sure that this initiative will attract more players in more places every day” said recently Gigi Levy, CEO of 888.com, and certainly knows what he’s talking about.

While it seems right now that American airliners won’t be able to offer in-flight gambling, due to the restraints of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, other companies are already joining in. British Airways, Singapore Airlines and Cathay Pacific are just some of the companies that are showing a lot of interest in this scheme, which will surely benefit both the online casinos and the airline companies, while making the passengers happier and maybe even richer
