Gaming giant Atari has plans to tap into the millions of people currently in isolation at home with a new cryptocurrency-based casino.

The classic video game maker is making a big splash into the already crowded virtual gambling arena as more people remained confined to their homes.

The casino website is already up and running and is open to registrations, but an official launch date has yet to be confirmed.
