Atari enters the online social games market with its own online virtual casino—Atari Jackpots.
Games will be based on classic Atari brands such as ‘Asteroids’, ‘Centipede’ and ‘Missile Command’, with other titles to be added. The site offers slots and various single- and multi-player including blackjack, video poker, solitaire and bingo.
FlowPlay is the company’s development partner.
“This first release of Atari Jackpots is a step into online casinos, leveraging the rapidly- growing interest in social casinos to offer a fun experience,” Atari CEO Fred Chesnais said. “We wanted to engage rapidly with our loyal fans, get their feedback in order to decide upon the additional features to be released to further improve the Atari Jackpots experience.”
Atari is also working with Pariplay to create Atari Casino, a real-money gaming product that is currently in development and due for release later this year.
