Since then, the partnership has expanded to Rivers Casino Philadelphia, Rivers Casino Des Plaines, Rivers Casino & Resort Schenectady, and now Rivers Casino Portsmouth.

“As an organization that strives to be a leader in each of its markets, Rush Street Gaming has a reliable partner and a robust ecosystem in place with Konami’s SYNKROS,” said Tim Drehkoff, chief executive officer of Rush Street Gaming. “Looking ahead to the opening of Rivers Casino Portsmouth in 2023, we’re fully confident in the guest experience SYNKROS helps support on the technology front.”

“Rush Street continually operates with an entrepreneurial commitment to future technology, resulting in strong expansion and leading casino development across major metropolitan markets,” said Tom Jingoli, executive vice president and chief operating officer at Konami Gaming, Inc. “Rivers Casino Portsmouth is the latest in a string of successful ground-up Rush Street developments that we’re honored to support with the latest SYNKROS tools and technology.”
