RSI enters agreement, brings sports betting to Ohio’s Hall of Fame Village
The partnership will last for 10 years.
Rush Street Interactive (RSI) has entered a sports betting operations partnership with Hall of Fame Resort & Entertainment Company (HOFV), a resort, entertainment and media company centered around professional football. This will be a 10-year agreement.
“We are excited to partner with the Hall of Fame Resort & Entertainment Company, a unique sports and entertainment company with exceptional reach in professional football and beyond,” said Richard Schwartz, Chief Executive Officer of RSI.
HOFV has plans for expansion. Those include upgrading the destination by adding a performance center, indoor water park, Hilton hotel, mixed-use office and retail space, and a Fan Engagement Zone. This is expected to include the sportsbook as well as other restaurant and retail offerings.
“HOFV shares RSI’s drive to create fun, memorable experiences for customers as well as our passion for building a one-of-a-kind destination that will delight the millions of guests that will visit the Hall of Fame Village campus each year,” said Schwartz. “We look forward to offering a best-in-class sportsbook commensurate with the prestige of the Pro Football Hall of Fame and Hall of Fame Village that fans across the country and world can enjoy.”
“We considered many different retail sportsbook operators, but selected RSI because of its outstanding reputation, impressive sportsbook results in other markets, and the quality and experience of its team,” said Michael Crawford, President and Chief Executive Officer of HOFV.
“We are thrilled to work with RSI to bring a retail sportsbook to the Hall of Fame Village’s Fan Engagement Zone and provide guests and fans a new and enhanced way to interact with their favorite sports, all conveniently from our campus.”
RSI was the first company to launch legal online sportsbooks in Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana and Colorado, and it has real-money gaming operations in 12 states, including the neighboring markets of Pennsylvania, Indiana, and West Virginia.
“With the legalization of sports betting in Ohio, we see a variety of opportunities and benefits across our company’s multiple business lines,” said Crawford.
