Atari bolts Atari Token onto Native Gaming MMORPG and slots

Atari has confirmed a partnership with Native Gaming and Black Dog Venture Partners in a deal which will see the new Atari Token cryptocurrency integrated across several Native Gaming products.

Under the remit of the agreement, the Atari Token will be available to use across Native’s casino slot titles and soon-to-launch multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG).

The MMORPG is a full video game style title that replaces the traditional casino slot mechanic with a monster-catching system. These monsters can then be used to battle and earn money, or cashed in with the casino.

Native Gaming CEO Justin McCool said the relationship would help connect gamblers, gamers and cryptocurrency advocates.

McCool continued: “We are excited to be a part of what Atari is doing in both the casino and blockchain space. It’s hard to imagine a more appropriate partner to help us take our new Native MMORPG to market and bridge the gap between gamers, gamblers, and the cryptocurrency community.”

Atari CEO Fred Chesnais added: “Integrating the Atari Token in Native’s ecosystem will give gamers and gamblers the opportunity to use the Atari Token as a payment method in Native’s casino slot games, meaning more financial options and flexibility for consumers.”

Elsewhere, Atari recently integrated the Atari Token onto the Arkane blockchain app development platform.
