Word has it that soon we will be able to play online bingo whilst we fly to our holiday destinations or go on our business trips.

Irish budget airline Ryan Air is rumoured to be offering 888.com online gambling games as part of its in-flight entertainment, taking effect sometime next year.

The possibility of being able to play online bingo during your flight, especially long haul, will make your whole flying experience a happier and more relaxed one. We have all sat and watched the same movies on a loop and felt incredibly uncomfortable in the process! Now we can entertain ourselves for hours by playing, and even winning, at our favourite past time.

"This will attract more players in more places every day." 888.com’s CEO Gigi Levy stated.

The UK’s more liberal gambling regulations can be said to have created this new and exciting opportunity of in-flight online gaming. In-flight screens will be connected to the internet for access to the games, opening up a whole spectrum of new entertainment opportunities as we fly.
