Rush Street Gaming is one of the most progressive companies in the gaming industry. With unique strategies at the Rivers Casinos in Des Plaines, Illinois; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; and Schenectady, New York, and SugarHouse in Philadelphia, maybe the most unique was the launch of an interactive division long before the major casino companies realized that interactive could be helpful. Richard Schwartz, an experienced iGaming executive from WMS Gaming, joined Rush Street to lead the effort. The unusual launch of a real-money iGaming site in New Jersey has been a big success, and laid the groundwork for further growth for the company. Schwartz met with GGB Publisher Roger Gros at the AGS GameOn conference at MGM National Harbor in June.
