AGS slot game Rakin’ Bacon Odyssey was launched this week at Caesars Atlantic City, with gaming influencer Francine Maric performing the first ceremonial spin.

Maric, known as Lady Luck HQ, was on hand to launch the game that’s exclusively live at New Jersey Caesars Palace Online Casino, and at Caesars Atlantic City, Tropicana Atlantic City, and Harrah’s Atlantic City.

“The simultaneous launch of Rakin’ Bacon Odyssey on Caesars Palace Online Casino and at our world-class destinations in Atlantic City is an example of the exciting omnichannel experience we can bring to our players,” said Caesars Digital Senior Vice President and Chief iGaming Officer Matthew Sunderland in a statement. “We’ve seen how popular this game is in other jurisdictions, and we’re confident our casino players and guests in New Jersey will enjoy it. Thank you to our great partners at AGS for this exclusive launch and to Lady Luck HQ for coming out to celebrate with us.”

Rakin’ Bacon Odyssey is a brand extension of the Rakin’ Bacon slot game. On casino floors, the game is housed in AGS’ Spectra49 cabinet, with unique reel configurations of 3×5 that expand up to 6×5 during free spins with 7,776 ways to win.

“Launching Rakin’ Bacon Odyssey with Caesars expands the stardom of our ‘golden pig’ and reflects our commitment to offering the same high-quality gaming experience to online players,” said AGS Vice President of Interactive Zoe Ebling. “This collaboration not only aligns with our strategic vision but also showcases our ability to execute complex, omnichannel launches that set industry standards. We’re elevating the gaming experience across platforms, demonstrating our leadership in the industry and our dedication to excellence. This launch marks a significant step in delivering exceptional entertainment to players everywhere.”

To celebrate the launch, Caesars Digital is offering users 21 and older its first omnichannel promotions linked to a new slot. Entries are available in-person at Caesars destinations in Atlantic City, and via the Caesars Palace Online Casino app.

“This exclusive launch illustrates the connection we’re continuing to build between our world-class destinations and our online casino platforms,” said Caesars Atlantic City Senior Vice President and General Manager Karen Worman. “That connection is something we’re uniquely positioned to deliver to our customers, and we look forward to celebrating more of these moments that bring best-in-class offerings to life across the in-person and digital experience.”
