White Hat Studios Makes History in Delaware, Securing 6th iGaming US Market Entry
White Hat Studios expands operations to Delaware, partnering with Rush Street Interactive on BetRivers online gaming platform.
Casino games powerhouse White Hat Studios strikes a deal with Rush Street Interactive, marking its sixth foray into the US iGaming market, and the 50th operator state it's partnered with. This monumental move places White Hat Studios in Delaware, joining forces with BetRivers.
The partnership propels White Hat Studio's hotline of innovative games, including its vast library of branded titles, featuring iconic IPs, and its acclaimed gaming sensation, Almighty Buffalo Megaways™, onto BetRivers' Delaware-based player roster.
The innovative Jackpot Royale™ system, a signature feature of White Hat Studios, will also be introduced to BetRivers Delaware players. This exciting feature offers three progressive jackpot prizes to be won across a slew of renowned titles. In 2023, an impressive $9.8 million was awarded from 648 jackpot drops across 30+ games, adding excitement for players.
Pioneered in 2012, Rush Street Interactive is a major player in the online casino and sports betting sectors and has joined forces with White Hat Studios on four other occasions. RSI's strategy revolves around merging online, social, and land-based iGaming businesses. In recognition of this approach, RSI was named Operator of the Year at the 2022 EGR North America Awards.
With this collaboration, White Hat Studios solidifies its spot as one of the leading providers in the United States. Several of its creations have made headlines, appearing in the top 25 of the region's top-performing new online games. The provider has ambitious expansion plans for 2024, with plans to launch in Rhode Island, its 7th state, in March 2024.
