Duty Free Gambling Onboard Ryanair

In-Flight Gambling Next on the Wish List

Low cost airline, Ryanair, is looking to claw back some revenues by offering gambling onboard their flights.

Despite charging ridiculously low prices for flights across Europe, Ryanair have made their money back by charging for food and movies - and they suspect that gambling could be another money-spinner for them.

As Ryanair's Chief Exec stated:
"I don't know who would stop you. It is like duty-free; you are in international waters"

Passengers would use their credit card to pay and hook into the current onboard entertainment system.

Ideas like this have been mulling around the airline and gambling industry for a few years now - but no-one seems to have the guts to go ahead and do it. Although some do offer casino games for fun. It'll be interesting to see if there's any official reaction (by the sky gods perhaps?) if Ryanair do actually take the plunge and launch this scheme
