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.
