Leading software provider Pariplay Ltd, and Atari, a publisher of video games, have announced the launch of a real-money online slot game titled Pong.

Based on the iconic Atari Interactive arcade game, this table tennis simulator has been played by countless players since its release in 1972 and is credited with establishing the video game industry as it is known today. 

Pong is Atari’s latest video arcade classic to be complimented with an action-packed online slot that features non-stop action and the potential for lucrative wins. 

Previous Atari-branded releases from Pariplay include Atari Asteroids, Atari Star Raiders and Atari Black Widow.  The new slot game further enhances Pariplay’s library of more than 100 video and classic slot games, online scratch cards, instant-win games and bingo games.

The 5 reel and 20 pay line Pong online slot game comes with a Referee Central Spot from which players have an opportunity to expand special features for a chance to win even more rewards.  The slot game offers a number of features which include Expanding Wilds, Random Wilds and Wild Multipliers.

Pong is available to players in over a dozen languages and has been designed by Pariplay as an HTML5 game to optimize it for cross-platform engagement.

Richard Mintz, Commercial Director at Pariplay Ltd revealed that Pong is the first truly popular arcade video game and holds a unique place in the history of gaming.

Fred Chesnais, Chief Executive Officer of Atari, Inc, said that Pong is the game that has defined the videogame industry and it was natural for them to bring it to real-money slot machines.
