Cliff Ehrlich to become COO of Rush Street Gaming
Ehrlich assumes the role from Bill Keena, a longtime company leader who plans to retire later this year.
Rush Street Gaming announced that Cliff Ehrlich will assume the role of COO with a background in the casino and hospitality industries. Ehrlich’s career began in marketing at the Catskills’ Pines Resort Hotel in the 1980s and transitioned in the 1990s to casino development and operations.
“I’ve admired Rush Street’s strong leadership and steady expansion over the past two decades,” Ehrlich said.
“I’m thrilled to join this dynamic organization and look forward to contributing to the company’s ongoing success.”
Ehrlich assumes the role of Rush Street COO from Bill Keena, a longtime company leader who plans to retire later this year.
“Cliff’s ground-up casino development experience, deep operations background and team leadership ensure that all five Rivers Casino properties remain in great hands,” Rush Street Gaming CEO Tim Drehkoff said.
“He will continue the strong forward momentum established by Bill Keena, for whom we wish the very best in retirement.”
In 1996, Ehrlich became co-owner of the Monticello Raceway and helped recruit the Oneida Indian Nation to build a casino on the property. Following an initial public offering, he led Monticello Casino & Raceway as President, COO and GM until 2013.
Since 2022, Ehrlich has been Navajo Nation Gaming Enterprise’s COO, with oversight of four casinos, a resort destination hotel, travel plaza and food & beverage manufacturing.
His appointment is effective immediately, but Keena will consult through the Fall to ensure a smooth transition.
In July, Rush Street Gaming, which operates Rivers Casino Philadelphia, announced the appointment of Susan Foster as GM of the property.
Foster had only joined Rivers Casino Philadelphia in April of this year, but now succeeds Eric Althaus to become the new GM, with Althaus having recently departed the property.
