Caesars Entertainment Incorporated (NASDAQ: CZR) (Caesars) and PlayAGS Incorporated (NYSE: AGS) today celebrated the exclusive and first cross-platform launch of the thrilling new slot game Rakin’ Bacon Odyssey in New Jersey.

“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 omni-channel experience we can bring to our players,” the Senior Vice-President and Chief iGaming Officer for Caesars Digital, Matthew Sunderland, said. “We’ve seen how popular this game is in other jurisdictions, and we’re confident our casino players and guests in New Jersey will enjoy it. Thank you to our great partners at AGS for this exclusive launch and to ‘Lady Luck HQ’ for coming out to celebrate with us.”

AGS’ Rakin’ Bacon Odyssey is a brand extension of the player-favorite slot game Rakin’ Bacon, which has quickly become a fan-favorite on casino floors in select jurisdictions across North America. Its gameplay features ‘Cornsquealius’, a loveable pig cartoon adorned in a Caesar-esque laurel and white robe. The slot shines on casino floors through the popular Spectra49 cabinet by AGS with unique reel configurations of 3×5 that expand up to 6×5 during free spins with a staggering 7,776 ways to win.

In celebration of this launch, Caesars Digital is offering users 21 and older the chance to take advantage of its first omni-channel promotions linked to a new slot with entry available both in-person at Caesars destinations in Atlantic City and via the Caesars Palace Online Casino app.

“This exclusive launch illustrates the connection we’re continuing to build between our world-class destinations and our online casino platforms,” the Senior Vice-President and General Manager of Caesars Atlantic City, Karen Worman, said. “That connection is something we’re uniquely positioned to deliver to our customers and we look forward to celebrating more of these moments that bring best-in-class offerings to life across the in-person and digital experience.”

“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,” the Vice-President of Interactive for AGS, Zoe Ebling, said. “This collaboration not only aligns with our strategic vision but also showcases our ability to execute complex, omni-channel launches that set industry standards. We’re elevating the gaming experience across platforms, demonstrating our leadership in the industry and our dedication to excellence.

AGS announced it will showcase its latest lineup of high-performing Class II and Class III slot titles and table innovations at the 2025 Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association (OIGA) Conference and Trade Show, taking place July 14–16 at the Oklahoma City Convention Center. This comes on the heels of the Company’s recent announcement that it is now privately held, following the completion of its acquisition by Brightstar Capital Partners.

Leading the slot lineup is So Hot Super 4™ Legends, a brand-new multi-play experience debuting in Class II markets that lets players engage with four classic So Hot® titles at once on a single screen. With stacked wins and frequent bonus triggers, this high-energy game puts a fresh spin on iconic AGS hits that have long been staples in key Class II markets like Oklahoma.

AGS will also debut new titles spanning multiple Spectra™ cabinets, including:

  • Triple Riches™ family: Transylvania Treasures™
  • Kraken Fortune’s™ family: Pirate Hoard™
  • Zodiac Strike™ family: Pegasus
  • Dragon Blast® family: Mighty Lion™
  • Mariachi Fortunes Trio™ family: Fiesta De Los Vivos™ and Fiesta De Las Calacas™
  • Repeat Win Fusion™ family: Puurfect Trio™ and Fa Cai Trio™

In the premium segment, AGS will spotlight Moo Cluck Oink®, now available in Class III and coming soon to Class II. This character-packed farm frenzy brings together the fan-favorite stars of Cluck Cluck Cash® and Moo Moo Madness™, along with a few new barnyard personalities. The game’s playful crossover theming gives players a rare reunion of familiar favorites, wrapped in a brand-new experience.

Moo Cluck Oink is available on all AGS premium cabinets—Orion Curve™ Premium, Spectra UR43™ Premium, and Spectra SL49+™ Premiumand the large-format, specialty cabinet Spectra SL75+™. Designed to support the entire Spectra game library, including premium titles when leased, Spectra SL75+ gives operators added flexibility to mix and match content to fit their unique casino floor.

AGS will also showcase its high-performing mechanical stepper lineup, led by the Revel® cabinet—the Company’s first entry into the mechanical stepper category—available in both Class II and Class III. At OIGA, attendees can experience Revel launch titles in Class II, including Liberty Diamond® and Triple Treasure®, along with Straight Cash™ Triple Double Spin, a new title set to release this quarter in both Class II and Class III. Returning to the lineup is the proven Gold Nudge®, delivering classic stepper appeal with a modern nudge feature.

On the table side, AGS continues to push boundaries with Bonus Spin Xtreme™ for Poker Rooms. Already a hit on main casino floors, Bonus Spin Xtreme now brings the same electrifying progressive action to poker rooms. It can be linked to a shared jackpot pool across multiple table types or configured as a standalone progressive. Live poker players who place the side bet have a chance to win the same life-changing prize as players on blackjack, craps, roulette, or pai gow. The result is one of the most dynamic and inclusive progressive systems in the industry.

With deep roots in Oklahoma, where AGS was founded and where its primary warehouse and production facility remain, AGS is energized to return to OIGA with a growing portfolio of player-favorite products and a continued commitment to serving the needs of tribal operators.

See it all in action at AGS booth 732 at OIGA 2025.

AGS, a global gaming supplier known for its high-performing slot, table, and interactive products, has been named one of U.S. News & World Report’s 2025–2026 Best Companies to Work For.

AGS was selected as one of U.S. News & World Report’s Best Companies to Work For, placing in the top 30 percent of 2,119 publicly traded companies evaluated. To be eligible, companies were required to have more than 75 employee reviews on Glassdoor submitted between 2021 and early 2025, alongside strong workplace data across key metrics.

The U.S. News evaluation assessed companies based on employee sentiment and six key workplace factors: quality of pay and benefits, work-life balance and flexibility, job and company stability, physical and psychological comfort, belonging and esteem, and career opportunities and professional development.

AGS was honored in the following categories:

We are proud to foster an environment where people feel supported, empowered, and excited to come to work every day.”

AGS, a global gaming supplier known for its high-performing slot, table, and interactive products, announced it has been named one of the Best and Brightest Companies to Work For in the Nation and in Atlanta for the ninth consecutive year.

“These awards are more than plaques on a wall—they’re proof of the incredible team we’ve built. Our people are the engine behind everything we do, and the culture we’ve created together continues to be one of the things I’m most proud of,” said AGS President and Chief Executive Officer David Lopez.

Presented by the National Association for Business Resources (NABR), the Best and Brightest Companies to Work For awards are based on an independent research-driven assessment of company practices and employee survey results. Companies are evaluated across a comprehensive set of criteria that reflect the employee experience—spanning areas like compensation and benefits, engagement and retention, civility and inclusion, leadership, communication, and overall workplace well-being. AGS earned high marks for its focus on key areas such as benefits, wellness, community involvement, and workplace creativity—surpassing the Best and Brightest benchmark, which reflects the median score of peer companies in the same market.

“What makes this recognition meaningful is that it’s based on how our employees truly feel. Nine years in a row speaks to the consistency of our values and how deeply embedded they are in how we hire, support, and grow our people,” said Kim Nasuta, AGS Senior Vice President of Human Resources.

AGS’ Metro Atlanta offices—home to many of the company’s R&D, engineering, and operations teams—continues to be a cornerstone of its innovation and culture. The Atlanta-area recognition reflects this local impact, while the national honor acknowledges AGS’ broader commitment to culture across its U.S. footprint, which includes offices and game studios in Las Vegas, Reno, Scottsdale, Austin, and Oklahoma City. In addition, AGS supports a large network of remote sales and field service employees located near customer operations throughout the country—extending its culture of connection and performance well beyond its physical offices. AGS also operates globally with teams located in six countries outside of the US.
