BetMGM and PlayAGS unveil Rakin’ Bacon Odyssey, an exclusive slot game blending online and land-based experiences in Michigan. With its expansion reels and four jackpots, players can enjoy 7,776 ways to win. This collaboration reflects BetMGM’s strategy to bridge digital and physical gaming realms, enhancing player engagement and enjoyment.
The online slot machine Rakin’ Bacon Odyssey has officially been launched in Michigan. The game is only played in the MGM Grand Detroit and through the BetMGM website. BetMGM’s launch aims to combine the best of both worlds – online and the classic style of casino gaming.
Rakin’ Bacon is a classic slot manufactured by PlayAGS and released in 2018, while Rakin’ Bacon Odyssey is an improved version of the first. Cornsquealius in the game is present in an ancient Greek background. It has 3×5 reels and offers 7,776 ways to win, and it can change to 6×5 reels in the bonus feature. Detroit has four jackpots to offer: the MGM Grand Detroit and online.
Oliver Bartlett, the VP of Gaming Product & Content at BetMGM, emphasized that Rakin’ Bacon Odyssey is one of the areas in which BetMGM can leverage the omnichannel strategy. He was upbeat about his company’s online exclusivity of the latest instalment of this popular game in Michigan, which has become one of the foremost iGaming states in the nation.
The current trend from BetMGM to encourage the intertwining of online and physical casinos is also evident with the recent unveiling of new gaming options. On February 1st, 2023 MGM Resorts International and BetMGM, they have hosted the launch of a made-for-slot offering branded MGM Riches across the internet and at MGM Resorts destinations around the country.
Then in August 2023, BetMGM announced that they would launch the Dual Play Roulette in New Jersey with the Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa. This innovative evolution enables players to participate in the same roulette session in both an online roulette and a land-based roulette, creating a better gaming environment.
On the other hand, PlayAGS – one of the leaders in the gaming market – revealed strong growth. They made a staggering 15% of their annual gross revenue in the fourth quarter of 2023 at $94. 2 million. This means that it is the 11th consecutive quarter in which the firm has experienced double-digit revenue growth, which has been impressive on its part as far as performance is concerned.
