In addition to opening the sports lounge, Rivers has been taking advantage of expansion opportunities afforded by Illinois’ recently enacted casino expansion law.

The BetRivers SportsBar was designed by Chicago-based DMAC Architecture, designers of luxury lounges at Rivers’ properties in New York state, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. “We will offer sports fans a premium luxury experience with great visuals, acoustics, service and comradery with fellow sports fans.” “The BetRivers lounge will provide an experience that rivals a live game-day stadium,” said Corey Wise, General Manager of Rivers Des Plaines.

The new lounge will also have a full-service island bar with seating for 32 26 bar-top video poker games 32 leather lounge chairs and additional table seating options. In addition to the video wall, the SportsBar will feature ten 86-inch and four 75-inch HD televisions placed throughout the lounge offering patrons a panoramic view of live sports events. “The BetRivers SportsBar will be one of the most exciting locations to watch live sports anywhere in Chicago, while we wait for approval to offer legal sports wagering.”

“We’re proud to open the ultimate game-day destination for sports fans who want to have an elevated viewing experience at a world-class gaming destination,” said Greg Carlin, CEO of Rush Street Gaming. The BetRivers space was designed to provide an ultra-luxury viewing experience for Chicago’s sports fans looking for an engaging game-day experience. The BetRivers SportsBar will eventually be home to the casino’s sports book, once regulatory approval is granted by the Illinois Gaming Board. The opening of the BetRivers SportsBar comes a few weeks after Rivers became the first casino in Illinois to move to land-based gaming and expand its gaming floor with additional gaming positions.
