BetMGM Named One Of The Best Places To Work In 2021 By Glassdoor
BetMGM, a leading sports betting and iGaming entertainment company, is honored to announce it has been listed as a Best Place to Work in 2021 by Glassdoor, the worldwide leader on insights about jobs and companies. The Glassdoor Employees’ Choice Award recognizes employers that create great work cultures and is judged solely on elected input from company employees. BetMGM ranked in the Top 20 and scored an overall outstanding rating of 4.8 out of 5 in the U.S. “small and medium company” category, for companies with up to 1,000 employees.
“It’s been a tremendous year of growth for BetMGM. We tripled our headcount to 350 team members and were able to grow the business, while infusing our new employees with the values that make BetMGM a special place to work,” said Adam Greenblatt, BetMGM CEO. “We credit our success in this area to the high-touch approach of our leadership group during these times of remote working, clarity of purpose throughout, and transparency with which we have shared our journey with the whole business. We’re extremely proud to receive this recognition from Glassdoor. It’s a testament to the collaborative, high performing workplace we’ve been able to cultivate.”
The Glassdoor Employees’ Choice Award is based on the feedback employees have voluntarily and anonymously shared on the Glassdoor platform. To determine the winners, Glassdoor evaluated all company reviews shared by employees over the past year.
Christian Sutherland-Wong, Glassdoor Chief Executive Officer, said, “COVID-19 is in the driver’s seat and every employer has been impacted. This year’s winning employers have proven, according to employees, that even during extraordinary times, they’ll rise to the challenge to support their people. A mission-driven culture, transparent leadership and career opportunities are always hallmarks of Best Places to Work winners. This year, we also see exceptional employers who have prioritized the health, safety and well-being of their employees. My congratulations go to all of this year’s outstanding Employees’ Choice Award winners.”
BetMGM creates an unparalleled culture of support for its employees and customers. As the nascent sports betting industry continues to grow within the U.S, the company has placed an emphasis on responsible gaming. Recently, BetMGM established its Responsible Gambling Council, consisting of senior leaders throughout the company, designed to foster a culture of responsible gambling as well as to support and drive key responsible gaming initiatives.

BetMGM, a leading sports betting and iGaming operator, and PlayAGS Inc. announced the omnichannel launch of Rakin’ Bacon Odyssey in Michigan. The slot game is exclusively available in Michigan on BetMGM and Rakin’ Bacon Odyssey slot machines are now at MGM Grand Detroit in Michigan.
“Rakin’ Bacon Odyssey is a fantastic example of BetMGM’s omnichannel advantage. We are incredibly proud to be the exclusive online home of the newest version of this popular game in Michigan which has proven to be the top state for iGaming,” Oliver Bartlett, Vice President of Gaming Product & Content at BetMGM, said.
Rakin’ Bacon Odyssey is the newest iteration of Rakin’ Bacon, a slot that players have gone hog wild for since PlayAGS released the game in 2018. In Rakin’ Bacon Odyssey, Cornsquealius, the iconic golden pig, goes to ancient Greece for new adventures. The 3×5 reel slot expands to 6×5 during the bonus feature and includes 7776 ways to win. Rakin’ Bacon Odyssey has four jackpots that can be won online on BetMGM or at MGM Grand Detroit.
“We are thrilled to announce the launch of Rakin’ Bacon Odyssey in Michigan with BetMGM, a pivotal expansion for our iconic ‘golden pig’. This launch underscores AGS’s unique position as a premier provider spearheading the omnichannel experience. Our commitment to seamless, cross-platform gameplay sets us apart in the industry, allowing us to offer extraordinary gaming experiences that bridge the gap between land-based and online venues. By partnering with BetMGM, we’re not just following industry trends—we’re creating them and setting the gold standard in omnichannel innovation.
