Rush Street Gaming announced that casino industry veteran Eric Althaus has been promoted from assistant general manager to general manager at Rivers Casino Philadelphia, effective immediately.
Prior to being named assistant general manager in 2022, Althaus served as vice president of gaming at Rivers Casino Philadelphia, overseeing all gaming operations, including the recent first-in-Philadelphia launch of Pulse Arena, the nightclub-style electronic table game area from Interblock.
“Eric’s leadership and familiarity with Rivers Casino Philadelphia will allow for a seamless transition and continuity with key initiatives,” said Tim Drehkoff, CEO of Rush Street Gaming. “Our entire Rivers Casino Philly team has been doing a terrific job. We’re looking forward to the upcoming unveiling of the much-anticipated Martorano’s Prime, along with other exciting projects in 2023.”
Before coming to Rivers Philly, Althaus was president and general manager of Mardi Gras Casino & Resort in West Virginia; and earlier served as vice president and general manager of Gun Lake Casino in Michigan. He began his casino career as a table games dealer and supervisor at several Midwestern casinos.
“We have amazing talent here in Philly, and we’re continuing the strong forward momentum we’ve gained over the past year,” said Althaus. “Our success is the direct result of the team’s hard work and dedication.”
