Rush Street Interactive has launched its flagship brand and award-winning online casino platform BetRivers.com in West Virginia.

Through RSI’s partnership with Century Casinos, Inc.’s (Nasdaq: CNTY) Mountaineer Park Inc., West Virginians can now play a fun array of online slot games and popular table games such as blackjack, roulette, and baccarat.

BetRivers.com is the only online casino in West Virginia today where customers can play free bingo games for extra chances to win prizes. Similar to other markets where it operates, BetRivers.com plans to consistently add fan-favorite casino games to its site in West Virginia to provide players with fresh content and the same robust library of games it is known for in other states.

Customers in the Mountain State also will have access to RSI’s premier and gamified loyalty program, which enables BetRivers’ players to redeem their online loyalty points for the chance to win even more prizes by playing proprietary bonus games such as online scratch cards, wheel spins, and bonus bingo.
