The World Poker Fund Holdings Inc. are hoping to tap into the lucrative $4 billion dollars in-flight entertainment industry by being the first to offer a real money gambling solution via InSkyCasino.com.
On April 6, 1925, the world of in-flight entertainment was born when an Imperial Airways flight from Croydon Airport screened The Lost World by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
50-years later, thanks to Braniff Airlines, passengers were able to play their favourite video game from the sanctity of their tiny seating space. Unfortunately, video games weren’t as advanced as today and everyone had to make do with playing Pong.
There was a problem with the Pong experiment. Everyone had to watch one person playing it. It would be another 13 years before Airvision, a subdivision of N.V.Philips, became the first company to stick a monitor in the back of the seat so people could Pong on their own.
