When I heard about Bally’s new slot machine, I got a case of Atari nostalgia. Bally Pong is a slot machine where the ‘bonus game’ is a game of Pong. Yes, Pong. The game where two sticks hit the square ball back and forth. Since you are playing in a casino, if you win against the slot computer, you can increase the payout. Those of you who know there way around an Atari, you might be able to make a little extra cash. The downside, you have a 1-in-70 chance of triggering the ‘bonus game’, so if your luck is like mine, you’ll run out of money before that little square ball ever graces the slot machine screen.
Pong is just the beginning, Bally’s is also working on a breakout style game.
