Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson is stepping into casino gaming with a new three-dice game called 50 Cent's Head Crack.
The rapper and entrepreneur announced the game on Sept. 17 in an Instagram post featuring promotional footage of players gathered around a craps table. Head Crack will make its official debut on Sept. 29 at the Global Gaming Expo (G2E) in Las Vegas.
The show runs through Oct. 1 at The Venetian Expo. Promotional materials for the launch carry the tagline "New Game, Bigger Energy." Jackson has said he plans to take the game to casino floors after the Las Vegas showcase.
Head Crack Joins a Busy G2E 2026 Lineup in Las Vegas
G2E 2026 runs from Sept. 28 through Oct. 1 at The Venetian Expo. The American Gaming Association presents the event, and RX organizes it. Organizers expect more than 25,000 gaming professionals from more than 120 countries to attend. This year's show features nearly 400 exhibitors and more than 100 education sessions led by over 300 speakers.
Jackson's debut adds a celebrity product launch to a show floor typically dominated by technology vendors.
G2E 2026 will also introduce its Business Solutions & Tech Zone, which covers enterprise technology used across integrated resorts on and off the casino floor.
Head Crack joins other headline draws at G2E 2026, including casino executives and hockey Hall of Famer Wayne Gretzky. Gretzky is scheduled to discuss the convergence of sports and betting.
50 Cent Takes His Business Empire to Casino Floors
Head Crack marks another expansion for Jackson's business portfolio beyond music. Over the years, he has built ventures across television, film, spirits, and live entertainment. He executive produced the Starz drama "Power," in which he also played Kanan Stark, and continues to produce its spinoffs. His spirits company, Sire Spirits, includes Branson Cognac and Le Chemin du Roi Champagne.
In late 2024, Jackson performed his first Las Vegas residency at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. The six-show run was titled "50 Cent: In Da Club." Casino gaming, however, is new territory for him. Ahead of the release, he told fans on Instagram to "get your bag ready." After G2E, he intends to put the game on casino floors.
Rules, Payouts, and Casino Partners Are Still Unknown
Official game rules and payout structures have not been released. It also remains unclear which casino operators, if any, will carry Head Crack after G2E. Still, Jackson has signaled that the Las Vegas debut is only the starting point for the venture.
