Developer FlowPlay and publisher Atari announce the launch of Atari Jackpots, a themed virtual world which introduces gamers to an online casino where they can enjoy a variety of classic luck-based games, and they also have access to content linked to classic franchises like Missile Command, Centipede and Asteroids.

The slots in the virtual casino also feature IPs like Breakout, Lunar Lander, Tempest, Gravitar and Crystal Castles, all of them designed to appeal to the nostalgia that many long-term gamers feel for the titles.

Atari Jackpots also includes access to blackjack, solitaire, bingo and video poker virtual machines.

A special disco area allows players to exchange charms which are designed to affect the amount of currency that they can win in the game.

More content for the title is planned for the coming months and the company is offering localized versions for a variety of markets.

Fred Chesnais, the chief executive officer of Atari, states, “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 also says that it is working with Pariplay in order to create a real money-based online title called Atari Casino, which is expected to arrive before the end of the year.
