Chicago-based gaming company Rush Street Interactive has announced an agreement with Scientific Games to become the first online casino operator in West Virginia. The company will debut its full suite of games on BetRivers.com 

These games include newly launched products such as 88 Fortunes, which has gained popularity at Rivers Casinos in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, New York and Illinois. Other games to launch include Jin Ji Bao Xi Endless Treasure, Bonanza Megaways, Chicken Fox and Monopoly Megaways.  

"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," said Richard Schwartz, president of Rush Street Interactive, which operates BetRivers.com.  

 "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." 

As part of the launch, BetRivers.com in West Virginia will offer to match new customers’ first deposit up to $250. 

"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," said Bob Hays, VP commercial, North America for Scientific Games. "We are thrilled to collaborate with RSI as we continue to grow the exciting online casino category in the US market." 

BetRivers.com and Rush Street also recently partnered to launch online live dealer games in Michigan. The live casinos, powered by Evolution Gaming, will allow players to take part in a mix of live table games, including roulette, baccarat and high and low stakes blackjack games.  

Payments are calculated in real-time so players can play on their mobile devices or their home computers.
