Rakin’ Bacon Sahara by American Gaming Systems (AGS) has made its debut in New Jersey with an exclusive launch.
Operating as a simultaneous omnichannel launch, the game went live in-person at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Atlantic City and online at Hard Rock Bet. The launch was held on July 19 with an invite-only cocktail hour featuring pig-themed food and drinks followed by a ribbon-cutting ceremony on the casino floor.
“This exclusive omnichannel experience is exactly what we envisioned when we launched Hard Rock Bet in New Jersey last year, and we’re thrilled to be celebrating with our great partners in Atlantic City,” Hard Rock Digital SVP of Casino Grant Williams said.
“AGS games, including the recent launch of our bespoke online slot collaboration, Hard Rockin’ Reels, have been extremely popular on Hard Rock Bet, and we know our players are going to love this newest addition of Rakin’ Bacon Sahara.”
The launch marked Hard Rock’s first-ever joint omnichannel launch of a slot simultaneously online and in-person in New Jersey, and included exclusivity for Rakin’ Bacon Sahara.
“Hard Rock Atlantic City welcomes AGS’ Rakin’ Bacon Sahara to our exciting casino where all the latest and most popular games are offered among our 2,425 slot machines. We know our slot customers will love this new game, whether they play at our casino or online at Hard Rock Bet,” Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Atlantic City President George Goldhoff said.
“We are proud to be a leader in the industry offering the most innovative gaming technology and look forward to the rollout of Rakin’ Bacon Sahara.”
Zoe Ebling, AGS VP of Interactive, expressed excitement over the new launch as well, having said, “This partnership demonstrates AGS’ strength in executing major strategic initiatives and underscores our commitment to delivering superior gaming experiences.
“Following our successful bespoke game Hard Rockin’ Reels, this omnichannel launch further cements our robust partnership with Hard Rock, setting new industry standards and showcasing our innovation and quality.”
