Apparently, Atari finally realized that all those kids that got hooked on games like Pong,
Asteroids, and Centipede are all grown up. And while they may hold a soft spot in their hearts for such things, a trip
to the local arcade is scarcely on the agenda. But one thing's for sure, many of those boys (& girls) sure like to
gamble. And whether or not the wallet is any fatter these days, everyone's got at least a couple quarters to toss into
the ol' slot machine. And so, teaming with Vegas gambling-machine manufacturer extraordinaire, Alliance Gaming, Atari
is going to bring a series of retro game-based slot machines to the casino circuit. The machines will feature bonus
rounds in which 'players' grab a classic Atari controller and compete for big rewards. Fittingly, Pong will be the
first model and is set to debut at the Global Gaming Expo in Las Vegas next month.
