Rush Street Interactive will expand its sports-book and Online Gaming operation in the Michigan market by entering into a partnership with Little Rivers Casino Resort.
Little River Casino Resort (LRCR) officially launched sports betting capabilities with the debut of its new sports-book on Friday, 17th July giving the public the opportunity to place their bets at a betting window and several kiosks at the River Rock Sportsbook & Grill.
According to Barry McGrady, Director of Gaming and Marketing, there are several types of wagers that can be placed on almost any sporting event.
The Casino’s website revealed that these include betting straight up on a team, playing the point spread, round robin to mix and match what wins, betting on future team wins and parlays where guests can bet on multiple games for larger potential payouts.
Jonnie Sam, Sportsbook Manager at LRCR, commented that with the return of major American sports leagues on the horizon the time is right to launch the sports betting program.
Sam also said that slowly but surely sports are coming back so this is the perfect time for them. He added that currently the public can place bets on the UFC, soccer, golf and NASCAR, with baseball and NBA basketball commencing again in the coming weeks.
Sam went on to say that the restaurant portion of the River Rock Sportsbook & Grill will remain open and is going to be the perfect combination of a sportsbar that you can place bets.
