Turns out Rush Street didn’t just turn in an application for SugarHouse Casino. The company also applied for a $10 million license for its other PA casino property, Rivers Casino. The PGCB confirmed that both casinos submitted applications.
Located just block from Heinz Field, where the Pittsburgh Steelers play, Rivers is the only casino in the Pittsburgh area.
Like SugarHouse, Rivers will not get its turn in front of PGCB at the Oct. 3 meeting. Both companies will use products from Rush Street Interactive and its sports betting partner, Kambi.
That makes it five of 13 possible sports betting licenses accounted for and $50 million in PA coffers for the license fees.
