People who have sat down at the seat of a plane know that the entertainment options are very limited at its best. Some airlines are trying to change the whole 30,000-feet-up-in-the-sky experience by incorporating casino gambling to every passenger seat of large aircraft.The first airline to merge flights and gambling is Virgin Airlines, who will add Blackjack, Poker, Roulette and many other popular casino games. Other airlines are expected to join the group of casino flights - surely the ones connecting Las Vegas - including British Airways, Singapore Airlines and Cathay Pacific Airlines.
Company representatives believe that the inclusion of gambling at flights may expand the industry to people who were previously unaware of online gambling. The airlines have turned to 888.com - one of the world's largest online casinos - who currently operate many gambling sites and dozens of casino games.
We expect the games to be installed into larger aircraft in early 2008.
