BetMGM has expanded its partnership with American Gaming Systems (AGS) to launch three of the supplier’s Rakin’ Bacon slot titles in Alberta for iCasino players, offering exclusive first-to-market access to the online games. 

"Rakin' Bacon! has earned a passionate following among slots players, and AGS continues to build on that success with new features, mechanics and ways to play," BetMGM Director of Gaming Rob Passerino said. 

"These new titles give Alberta players even more variety within a franchise they already know and enjoy, while reinforcing our commitment to bringing sought-after games and exclusive experiences to players on BetMGM."

As part of its ongoing collaboration with AGS, BetMGM received exclusive first access to Rakin’ Bacon! Fu Zhu Bao Bao, Triple Oink Soda Fountain Fortunes and Triple Oink San Shen Zhu.

BetMGM users in Alberta had previously been offered access to fellow Rakin’ Bacon titles, including Sahara, Jackpots Bonus Board, Jackpots Bonus Wheel and Odyssey. 

AGS VP of Interactive Zoe Ebling also spoke on the new launch, having said, “First-to-market moments like this are not just about launching new games. They show what strong partnerships can unlock.

“Rakin’ Bacon! has proven performance and real staying power, and bringing three new titles to players in Alberta first with BetMGM is a big signal of where the franchise is headed. The trust and execution across both teams made this happen, and Cornsquealius is ready to bring the action.”

At the end of July, BetMGM expanded its portfolio of iCasino content in Alberta with the launch of Aristocrat Interactive’s Lightning Link High Stakes slot title, following the province’s newly regulated online gambling market going live on 13 July.

The Aristocrat Interactive slot title continues its online rollout in North America with the launch on BetMGM Casino Alberta, having originally debuted across casino floors over 10 years prior.

On 5 August, BetMGM debuted its online Game of Thrones slot in Alberta, representing the title’s second Canadian launch after being introduced in Ontario last April.

The launch was made possible through BetMGM’s collaboration with Blueprint Gaming – which provides the core Money Collect mechanic for Game of Thrones – as well as the operator’s partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences.
