BetMGM recently partnered with gaming supplier AGS to launch the new Rakin' Bacon! series of slot machines, achieving exclusive operation across both online and offline channels. The first game, "Rakin' Bacon! Jackpots Bonus Wheel," is now available on the BetMGM Casino platform in New Jersey and Michigan, and is exclusively sold at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City and the MGM Grand Detroit. The second game in the series, "Rakin' Bacon! Jackpot Bonus Board," is scheduled to launch in mid-September and will introduce the "Rakin' Bacon!" grand prize leaderboard.
This collaboration marks the first time a third-party game has been exclusively launched across all channels on the BetMGM platform. The game features the golden pig character Cornsquealius and combines progressive jackpots, wild multipliers, and tiered progressive prizes, aiming to bridge the online and offline gaming experience and provide a consistent and interactive entertainment experience for players.
BetMGM emphasizes that this all-channel strategy continues its advantage in progressive jackpot networks, complements other exclusive games like MGM Grand Millions and Bison Fury, and strengthens integration with MGM Resorts International. AGS states that this release is an important step in extending its successful physical game content to the digital market, demonstrating the appeal of mature franchises in cross-channel participation.
It is reported that earlier this year, BetMGM's revenue grew by 35% in the first half of the year, reaching $1.35 billion, with EBITDA turning positive at $109 million, and raising its 2025 revenue forecast to $2.7 billion, thanks to the rapid growth of iGaming and sports betting businesses. The launch of the Rakin' Bacon! series further consolidates its market strategy of integrating online and offline operations, bringing a richer gambling experience to players.
