RushRace online slot tournaments simulate land-based events

One of the most well-liked events at land-based casinos in Michigan are the slot machine tournaments.

BetRivers Casino aims to capitalize on this popularity by introducing RushRace online slot events. Unlike traditional land-based tournaments where players are confined to one machine for a set period, RushRace events offer several unique features that allow players to:

  • You can join the tournament at any point during the specified time frame.
  • In a tournament, slot selections can be mixed and matched.
  • Begin with varying amounts of money and emerge victorious by achieving a diverse array of results.
  • Modify bet sizes according to preferred tactics.
  • You can view the leaderboards and player positions in real time, allowing you to keep track of your progress while competing.
  • You can acquire tournament entries by earning them through the bonus store.

More types of online RushArena competitions coming

The RushArena initiative, as announced by the company, is an expansion of the beloved bingo games available at BetRivers Casino. By engaging in specific durations of gameplay at BetRivers Casino, players now have the opportunity to receive complimentary entries to bingo games.

Although the announcement did not provide details about upcoming game tournaments, it is reasonable to anticipate the inclusion of table game tournaments like blackjack.

Additionally, RSI mentioned that peer-to-peer tournaments will enable patrons to engage in exciting battles by challenging one another, providing rewarding experiences.

BetRivers a strong No. 4 for Michigan internet gaming

Despite lacking the same level of name recognition as industry giants BetMGM, DraftKings, and FanDuel, BetRivers has managed to establish a robust online casino brand in Michigan. It is worth noting that BetRivers does not offer online poker like PokerStars MI, which adds to their revenue totals.

RSI, headquartered in Chicago, has successfully established the BetRivers brand in Michigan, generating an impressive revenue of $52.3 million until September. This achievement positioned them as the fourth highest revenue earner in the market.

As of September, the leading five brands in terms of internet gaming revenue in Michigan were:

  1. BetMGM, $289.6 million
  2. FanDuel, $133.0 million
  3. DraftKings, $127.9 million
  4. BetRivers, $52.3 million
  5.  WynnBET, $34.5 million

In our latest count, BetRivers offers a wide range of online casino games, with a total of 347 games available. Among these, 305 are slots, making it the third-largest collection in the market.

In Michigan, the PlaySugarHouse and RushBet brands, operated by RSI, are not accessible.
