Rush Street Interactive, the developer and supplier of the leading social gaming product CASINO4FUN, has announced the launch of a Social Casino and Social Sportsbook for Coushatta Casino Resort in Louisiana.

The Coushatta CASINO4FUN site is powered by RSI’s proprietary iGaming Platform. The new social site offers gaming enthusiasts a large and growing catalog of over 300 fun and engaging online slots, table games, and live dealer games, as well as the ability to use the platform’s virtual economy to engage with a world-class sportsbook for free, all while offering Coushatta a digital platform for Customer Acquisition and Engagement.

“We are thrilled to offer our guests the popular amenity of online social gaming. We know COUSHATTA CASINO4FUN will create fun and excitement for our guests once they sign up to play. Our new website delivers social casino gaming excitement directly to our guests’ fingertips––anytime, anywhere. With hundreds of casino games available on the website, some with the option of interacting with a live dealer, this brings us to a new level of guest service in the gaming industry,” Scott Sirois, General Manager of Coushatta Casino Resort, said.

“As more states move to legalize online casino and sports betting, forward-looking partners such as the Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana are selecting Rush Street Interactive’s CASINO4FUN Social Casino product to position themselves early for success once online gaming is legalized in their state. This partnership will provide them with a powerful marketing tool to increase their current casino customer engagement, reactivate lapsed players, and acquire new customers cost-efficiently,” Richard Schwartz, President of Rush Street Interactive, said.

“We are very appreciative and thank the Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana for their vote of confidence in granting Rush Street Interactive the privilege to power their online Social Casino & Sportsbook in the Pelican State. We look forward to working together to build Coushatta Casino Resort’s online database through strategic marketing & promotions, which will increase interest in its property, which in turn, we expect to help generate more revenues,” Schwartz added.
