Rush Street Interactive (RSI), the parent company of online casino and sportsbook brands BetRivers, PlaySugarHouse, and RushBet, has unveiled its latest gaming innovation, RushArena.
The new development is for video slot games and will enable players to play against each other, in a tournament format. The company’s press release describes RushArena as an “innovative multi-player tournament engine to allow players to compete head-to-head on their own time.”
- TrustedBetRivers Casino is 100% legal and fully regulated by the Michigan Gaming Control Board
- 1x Wagering Get up to$250 in bonus funds on your first deposit — with wagering requirements of just 1x
- Slots from best providers Play the most popular slots from the likes of NetEnt, IGT, Big Time Gaming, and NextGen
It isn’t the first time that RSI has rolled out this type of new product. The company has had huge success in the past with similar innovations for its online bingo games. Now, it is bringing its experience to bear in the medium of video slots.
RushArena will offer “unique and pioneering peer-to-peer promotional games that extend players’ experiences and offer even more opportunities to win,” it was stated.
The first chance that players will have to experience the new format will be in RSI’s RushRace tournament, which the operator will use to showcase the exclusive features of its latest software.
Pioneering New Features
Slot tournament are not a new idea in themselves, and are sometimes even offered in brick-and-mortar casinos, but RushRace has a few unique attributes that set it apart from other tournament formats:
- Players can join the tournament at any time during the registration window.
- Tournaments allow players to choose from a wide variety of titles in-game, so they can select a favourite game rather than being tied to a pre-selected one.
- Players can change games throughout the tournament. If they are not enjoying one game, they can switch it out for another, mid-competition.
- Players with different account balances can compete against each other. Tournaments are not just about who has the biggest bankroll – anyone can win.
- Wager sizes can be adjusted for strategic reasons.
- Leaderboards are updated in real time and can be checked during the contest.
- Tournament entries can be obtained using various methods – including being purchased through the RSI bonus store.
These features will combine to give players a genuinely novel experience, and a new way of engaging with the video slot format — something that RSI prides itself on.
The First Step of Many
Furthermore, RSI has indicated that RushArena is just the beginning of its plans to improve the slot game experience – and that in the future they are looking to develop the platform so as to offer heads-up matches and allow players to challenge each other in mano-a-mano duels.
RSI has a reputation for innovating and engaging with players. In a press release, CEO Richard Schwartz said, “Enhancing the player experience remains our top business strategy.”
He continued, “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.”
“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).”
