The game is omnichannel, allowing Garden State residents to play both online and in-person at several Caesars locations.

Caesars Digital and PlayAGS have launched Rakin’ Bacon Odyssey in New Jersey. The omnichannel launch was celebrated at Caesars Atlantic City, with the ceremonial first spin in attendance by Caesars representatives and online influencer Francine Maric – otherwise known as Lady Luck HQ. 

The game, created by supplier AGS, is part of a brand extension of the original Rakin’ Bacon slot game.  

The cross-platform game will be available both online and in retail in the Garden State, with access to the game available at Caesars Atlantic City, Tropicana Atlantic City and Harrah’s Atlantic City as well as Caesars Palace Online Casino. Caesars Digital is offering players 21 and over a variety of promotions to use in retail locations and online.  

Caesars Palace Online Casino launched in the summer of last year and is currently available in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan and West Virginia, as well as Ontario in Canada. The online casino has partnered with a wide range of suppliers to give players in various territories access to different games. In Ontario, players have access to games from Hacksaw Gaming and EveryMatrix, with Digital Gaming Corporation games available in Pennsylvania due to partnerships made late last year.  

On the cross-platform launch, SVP and Chief iGaming Officer at Caesars Digital Matthew Sunderland said, “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.”  

AGS VP of Interactive Zoe Ebling added, “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. This collaboration not only aligns with our strategic vision but also showcases our ability to execute complex, omnichannel launches that set industry standards.”
