Rush Street, Scientific Games Partner for Online Casino in WV

Rush Street Interactive and Scientific Games are teaming up to offer online casino games in West Virginia on BetRivers.com.

Chicago-based Rush Street announced Tuesday that the newly launched WV online casino games include slot game 88 Fortunes, Endless Treasures Jin Ji Bao Xi, Bonanza Megaways, Chicken Fox, and Monopoly Megaways. They can be found on BetRivers Casino.

“We are excited to have partnered with Scientific Games to be the first online operator in West Virginia to bring these top quality and much-loved casino games to our players,” Richard Schwartz, president of Rush Street Interactive, which operates BetRivers.com, said in a news release. “88 Fortunes is already one of the most popular slot games on BetRivers in other states and we anticipate West Virginia players will love playing it online just as much.”

BetRivers Casino went live in West Virginia on April 12. BetRivers has a partnership with Century Casinos’ Mountaineer Park.

A key feature in 88 Fortunes — Fu Bat Jackpot — offers four jackpot levels where players pick from 12 golden Lucky Coins to match three Fu Babies symbols to win the corresponding jackpot, the news release said. Players also have the ability to trigger the free games feature that awards up to 10 free games and a multiplier of up to 88x which applies to all wins.

“Scientific Games is proud to partner with Rush Street Interactive, a respected and proven online gaming operator for online casinos in West Virginia and other markets,” Bob Hays, VP commercial, North America for Scientific Games, said in the release. “We are thrilled to collaborate with RSI as we continue to grow the exciting online casino category in the U.S. market.”

Las Vegas-based Scientific Games slots join a growing online casino catalog in West Virginia that contains more than 80 real-money slots, table games and video poker variants with new titles added weekly.

BetRivers.com currently offers a match of a new customer's first deposit, up to $250.
