The Swinomish Indian Tribal Community and Rush Street Interactive Tuesday launched the BetRivers Sportsbook at the Swinomish Casino & Lodge in Anacortes, Washington.
Customers will be able to place bets at the retail sportsbook on U.S. and worldwide sporting events, including parlays, prop bets and in-game bets.
“As we sought a partner for this exciting new venture, Rush Street Interactive’s proven success in operating market-leading retail sportsbooks across the U.S. made them an obvious choice,” Swinomish Director of Gaming Stephany Tuttle said in a statement. “RSI’s unmatched operational expertise working with land-based casinos and comprehensive approach stood out, offering us a tried-and-true road map for success. Their guidance eliminates unnecessary expenses and ensures a seamless launch process. Combined with their exceptional marketing and customer service support, RSI provides everything we need to maximize the sportsbook’s potential while enhancing all other aspects of our gaming and non-gaming amenities. We are confident this partnership will elevate our offerings and create a dynamic new experience for our guests.”
Rush Street will act as a supplier rather than assume operational control. This model will allow the Swinomish Tribe to retain control over its operations while benefiting from RSI’s industry experience and resources.
“We are incredibly honored to partner with the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community to bring this exciting new sportsbook to life,” Rush Street Interactive CEO Richard Schwartz said. “RSI shares the Swinomish Tribe’s commitment to integrity, innovation and delivering exceptional guest experiences. Our expertise in training and supporting land-based casino teams ensures that this new sportsbook will not only attract new player demographics but also optimize cross-promotion with the tribe’s existing gaming and hospitality amenities. This collaboration will create a thriving sports betting experience that benefits the entire operation.”
“Our goal is to empower our partners to thrive,” added Schwartz. “We don’t just provide technology — we provide the tools, training and ongoing support needed to ensure the success of in-casino sportsbooks while driving incremental benefits to the broader operation, from increased visitation to growth in table games, slots, food and beverage and beyond. We’re proud to partner with the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community to achieve their vision and drive further economic development for the region.”
