HIGH FLYING GAMBLERS
New service for airlines
Bored on those airline flights? A U.S. company has come up with the answer - gamble while you fly.
eFlyte announced this week the introduction of their latest product for the airline industry – inflight gambling. At the conclusion of a two year development program, the company is ready to launch gambling on the world's international airlines.
"We believe that the time is right for inflight gambling to be introduced." David Morgan, CEO of eFlyte commented. "A combination of factors influenced our decision to launch now. eFlyte's software architecture is proven, the new generation of IFE platforms are totally compatible with our software, while financial back office support has been validated to ensure the efficiency and reliability of the transaction processing. In addition, a number of international airlines have expressed interest in being updated on the feasibility of inflight gambling after all the excitement of nearly a decade ago."
eFlyte intends to provide airline passengers with a fun, challenging way to pass time on long flights, with the added bonus of accumulating winnings while relaxing at 35,000 feet.
The system will have strict player controls, with access by the swipe of a credit card which will be credited or debited in the same way as any other credit card transaction.
"The idea is to provide airline passengers with a low-stakes gambling environment that will co-exist with movies, audio tracks and even our own casual games," Morgan concluded.
