Scientific Games Corporation has enhanced its partnership with long-term OpenGaming customer Loto-Québec by facilitating the launch of content from AGS.

AGS is one of the world’s leading publicly traded gaming equipment suppliers, developing slot cabinets and games, proprietary table games and associated equipment, and has an interactive division which provides both online social and iGaming solutions for operators and players.

Rakin’ Bacon! is the first game available with Loto-Québec, the fantasy pig-themed game features the golden pig in a coin-filled room and offers cartoon-like animations for players, with the inclusion of responsible gaming tools that ensures player safety.

The integration was made possible through Scientific Games’ Open Gaming System (OGS), which reaffirms OpenGaming as the leading content aggregation platform within the betting and gaming industry. OGS consists of over 3,000 games from the industry’s leading third-party providers, as well as the Company’s in-house gaming studio with titles featuring cutting-edge gameplay.

Matt Reback, Executive Vice President – Operations, AGS, said: “Launching in Canada is the next step for AGS and our aim to bring our content to the widest audience and we are thrilled to have Rakin’ Bacon as the first title to go live with Loto-Québec and we are looking forward to seeing our games resonate with Canadian players.”

Stéphane Martel, Acting Senior Director, Products and Innovation at Loto-Québec, said: “This agreement and launch underpins our relationship with Scientific Games and how the OpenGaming platform is a key component in offering a vast array of content to our players.”
