BetMGM Secures Exclusive First-to-Market Rights to Three New Rakin’ Bacon! Slots in Alberta

TL;DR — BetMGM obtained exclusive first-to-market rights to three new Rakin’ Bacon! slots in Alberta through its AGS partnership. The franchise delivered two top-15 iGaming titles on the platform in 2025, with Rakin’ Bacon Jackpots Bonus Board earning an EKG Slot Awards nomination. The deal extends a track record of strong performance in the province.

SCCG Take — Supplier exclusives on proven franchises sharpen platform differentiation for operators in regulated markets where content sequencing drives retention.

BetMGM players in Alberta now have exclusive first access to three new online slots from the Rakin’ Bacon! franchise. The titles Rakin’ Bacon! Fu Zhu Bao Bao, Rakin’ Bacon! Triple Oink Soda Fountain Fortunes, and Rakin’ Bacon! Triple Oink San Shen Zhu are available on BetMGM Casino, the result of the operator’s partnership with AGS.

Rob Passerino, Director of Gaming at BetMGM, said, “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. 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.”

Zoe Ebling, Vice President of Interactive at AGS, 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.”

Franchise Delivers Consistent Top Performance

Led by Cornsquealius, Rakin’ Bacon! games have consistently ranked among BetMGM’s top performers. Two slot titles from the franchise placed among the platform’s top 15 iGaming offerings in 2025. Rakin’ Bacon Jackpots Bonus Board was named a nominee for Top Performing Omni-Channel Slot Game (Retail & Online) at the 8th Annual EKG Slot Awards, produced by Eilers & Krejcik Gaming.

This development, according to G3 Newswire, rests on the established performance of the Rakin’ Bacon! series and the operational alignment between the two companies in a regulated Canadian market. The exclusive window gives BetMGM a clear sequencing advantage on proven mechanics without altering the underlying regulatory framework in Alberta.

Content exclusives on proven franchises separate platforms in regulated markets where sequencing and player familiarity drive retention.

We've seen this playbook work: operators who secure timed exclusives on validated IP gain real edge in mature markets like Alberta. Two Rakin' Bacon! titles already landed top-15 on BetMGM in 2025. The franchise has legs, the metrics are public, and AGS-BetMGM execution shows how supplier alignment unlocks differentiation where regulatory parity flattens the field.

SCCG angle: SCCG brokers supplier-operator partnerships globally, including content exclusivity structures that sharpen platform positioning. Our network spans AGS, BetMGM, and the Alberta ecosystem — we connect studios with operators who execute timed launches that move retention, using proven franchises and real performance data to structure deals that stick.
