No, RushArena is not a tribute to the beloved Canadian rock band. But for slot players, it might be the next big thing.
Rush Street Interactive Thursday announce the launch of RushArena, a multi-player tournament engine that allows players to compete head-to-head on their own time.
RushArena’s first offering is RushRace, a slot tournament that increases players’ online gaming experience beyond the classic land-based casino tournament. Instead of players starting simultaneously, RushRace allows them to join at any time during a slot tournament window.
“We listen to our customers, and by owning, building and innovating the framework, we can tailor our games to deliver what our casino players, or insights obtained from them, have told us they want,” said RSI CO Richard Schwartz in a statement. “We use these ground-breaking game mechanics to create new experiences, which is consistent with our goal to increase retention, loyalty, and business KPIs (key performance indicators).”
RushRace tournaments are designed so players can choose from a wide number of games. Players can switch games during tournaments and try different titles, and also can adjust wager amounts based on their desired strategy. Leaderboards are updated in real-time and can be viewed while competing. Tournament entries may be awarded through methods including purchases from RSI’s proprietary bonus store using bonus store points
RSI’s framework also will allow for new head-to-head contests. The engine used to create RushArena and its RushRaces will also soon be used for peer-to-peer competition events, which will allow BetRivers.com, PlaySugarHouse.com, and RushBet patrons to challenge each other.
