Gambling General
by jo on November 2, 2005
Ryanair, famous across Europe for their �1+ deals, already give away a large number of seats - and predict the offer of gambling could increase those free seats too 50-100% - the airline currently makes alternative revenues from hotel bookings and car rental.
He has been talking about expanding inflight entertainment on Ryanair for more than a year, during which time the airline introduced and then withdrew an onboard individual video and entertainment system.
Ryanair had hoped a quarter of its annual 35 million passengers would use the system, while only 7-8 percent did, O'Leary said.
He said the airline now has similar hopes for gaming and gambling, and sees potential revenues of "a multiple of euros per passenger."
So does 'duty free' extend to duty free gambling? Or how does the tax issue of gambling come into play over certain countries. It'll be interesting to see how or if this pans out
