CHICAGO, Oct. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Rush Street
Interactive, Inc. (NYSE: RSI) ("RSI"), which operates the
BetRivers, PlaySugarHouse, and RushBet online casino and sportsbook
brands, has developed "RushArena™," an innovative
multi-player tournament engine to allow players to compete
head-to-head on their own time. Building off of RSI's success with
its popular bingo games, RushArena was created to offer unique and
pioneering peer-to-peer promotional games that extend players'
experiences and offer even more opportunities to
win.
RSI's initial execution of RushArena is "RushRace™," a
best-in-class slots tournament that advances players' online gaming
experience beyond the classic land-based casino tournament.
While traditional slot tournament players start at the same time
with the same balance and limited game selections, RushRace:
- Permits players to join at any time in the tournament
window
- Tournaments are designed so players can choose from a wide
number of game selections
- Players can switch games during the tournament to try
their luck at a different title
- Players can start with different balances and win based on a
wide range of different outcomes
- Players can adjust wager amounts based on desired
strategy
- Leader boards and player positions are updated in real time and
can be viewed while competing
- Tournament entries may be awarded by a wide range of methods,
including purchases from RSI's proprietary bonus store
using bonus store points
RSI has always offered various ways to award players with more
opportunities to win and earn rewards. Scratch Cards,
Wheel Spins, instant animated awards and RSI's industry leading
proprietary Bonus Store are some of the rewards players can
choose.These rewards have always revolved around opportunities to
win with games of chance between the player and RSI. Now
RushArena extends RSI's relationship with its valued casino players
by offering fun tournaments and other experiences where casino
players can compete against each other for exciting rewards and
prizes.
"Enhancing the player experience remains our top business
strategy," said Richard Schwartz,
CEO of RSI. "We listen to our customers, and by owning,
building and innovating the framework, we can tailor our games to
deliver what our casino players, or insights obtained from them,
have told us they want. We use these ground-breaking game
mechanics to create new experiences, which is consistent with our
goal to increase retention, loyalty, and business KPIs."
RSI's revolutionary framework will also allow for the addition
of new head-to-head contests and much more in the
future. The engine used to create RushArena and its
RushRaces will also soon be employed to create peer-to-peer
competition events, which will
allow BetRivers.com, PlaySugarHouse.com, and RushBet
patrons to challenge each other in fun and rewarding
battles.
