Gamblit Gaming bringing real-money PAC-MAN to casino floors

A real-money version of 1980’s arcade classic PAC-MAN is coming to casino floors thanks to skill-based gamers Gamblit Gaming.

On Tuesday, Gamblit announced that it had struck a deal with Japanese games publisher Bandai Namco Entertainment to bring PAC-MAN Battle Casino, a real-money version of the wocca-wocca-wocca classic, to casino floors.

The new gaming product (pictured) will allow groups of two or four players to battle each other for cash prizes. The game is a co-production of Gamblit and the team that brought you PAC-MAN Battle Royale, which Bandai Namco unleashed upon the arcade world in 2011.

Gamblit says the new title will make its public debut at next week’s Global Gaming Expo in Las Vegas and will begin appearing on select casino floors via its Model G interactive tables sometime early next year. Gamblit and Bandai Namco are also working on a new single-player PAC-MAN title for Gamblit’s TriStation hardware.
