BGaming and Snoop Dogg: Celebrity Casino Marketing Questioned
In a surprising turn for the rapper who once defined hip-hop, Snoop Dogg has teamed up with BGaming to launch a new gambling-themed slot, Snoop Dogg Dollars. Instead of focusing on music, it seems Snoop is lending his name and face to a slot machine, signalling an increasing focus on gambling collaborations over his original career in music. Released exclusively on Roobet in September, the slot goes public on October 30, making Snoop's image available to gamblers worldwide.
Many fans are questioning the shift. Once a musical icon, Snoop's involvement in this slot machine, and his apparent comfort associating with gambling streamers, raises concerns about his dedication to his craft. With an industry buzzing over these celebrity endorsements, it's clear BGaming is more interested in capitalising on Snoop's image than producing something meaningful for music fans.
Though Alexandr Shavel, BGaming's Product Owner, praised the collaboration, calling it "a celebration of Snoop Dogg's career," some fans might disagree. Rather than focusing on innovation or honoring Snoop's legacy, Snoop Dogg Dollars could signal a shift in priorities: cashing in on a name instead of creating music.

I get that everyone’s gotta hustle, but this feels wrong. Snoop's been a music legend, and now he’s promoting gambling? Not the legacy I imagined for him.
As a slots fan, I’ll admit it’s kinda cool, but honestly, I never thought I’d see the day Snoop Dogg would be repping a slot game. It’s like he’s officially retired from making good music.
Snoop Dogg Dollars? Really? This is just a cash grab, pure and simple. It’s sad to see these artists turning into brand gimmicks for the gambling industry.
Imagine having one of the most iconic careers in hip-hop and then ending up on a slot machine. Feels like Snoop’s forgetting where he came from. I miss the old days.
Man, this is disappointing. Snoop used to be about the music, not pushing gambling onto people. Guess everyone’s got a price these days!
