Caesars becomes the first operator to bring fan-favorite slot game to ‘The Garden State’ both in-person and online

Caesars Entertainment Incorporated (NASDAQ: CZR) (Caesars) and PlayAGS Incorporated (NYSE: AGS) today celebrated the exclusive and first cross-platform launch of the thrilling new slot game Rakin’ Bacon Odyssey in New Jersey.

To commemorate the launch, well-known online gaming influencer Francine Maric – better known as ‘Lady Luck HQ’ – was on hand at Caesars Atlantic City alongside Caesars representatives to pull the lever for the ceremonial first spin unveiling the new slot now exclusively live in New Jersey for the first time on 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 omni-channel experience we can bring to our players,” the Senior Vice-President and Chief iGaming Officer for Caesars Digital, Matthew Sunderland, said. “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.”

AGS’ Rakin’ Bacon Odyssey is a brand extension of the player-favorite slot game Rakin’ Bacon, which has quickly become a fan-favorite on casino floors in select jurisdictions across North America. Its gameplay features ‘Cornsquealius’, a loveable pig cartoon adorned in a Caesar-esque laurel and white robe. The slot shines on casino floors through the popular Spectra49 cabinet by AGS with unique reel configurations of 3×5 that expand up to 6×5 during free spins with a staggering 7,776 ways to win.

In celebration of this launch, Caesars Digital is offering users 21 and older the chance to take advantage of its first omni-channel promotions linked to a new slot with entry available both 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,” the Senior Vice-President and General Manager of Caesars Atlantic City, Karen Worman, said. “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.”

“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,” the Vice-President of Interactive for AGS, Zoe Ebling, said. “This collaboration not only aligns with our strategic vision but also showcases our ability to execute complex, omni-channel launches that set industry standards.
