Gaming console giants Atari has revealed it is launching an online crypto casino which will include its own cryptocurrency, the Atari Token, as it highlights quicker payout times, bigger games and fewer local restrictions.
Atari revealed its plans to enter the online casino market with its website up and running with players only able to sign up and register to the casino and buy “Atari Tokens” which can be traded for assets or real money.
The console gaming giants have also revealed little snippets of what players can expect from its new platform.
Real time gaming with other players seems to be Atari’s main focal point with blackjack and roulette being mentioned. A variety of classic and casino games will be available for players to bet on and play live whilst taking part in party chats.
Live games are set to be run by professional dealers who can clarify rules and chat to players between games. The publishers have also advertised a collection of “unique” slot machines for players to bet on.
Furthermore, Atari are set to introduce a new feature called “Atari Special” which allows players to wager in games of skill rather than chance.
The company states that players will be able to play competitive Atari games where they can bet on themselves against other players.
There is no official launch date for the online casino with the official website just stating “coming soon.”
