Through this deal, High 5 Games will launch its content on RSI’s PlaySugarHouse and BetRivers platforms. The partnership solidifies their successful collaboration, which has already seen deals in Michigan, New Jersey, and Ontario. This move comes after High 5 Games obtained an Interactive Gaming Manufacturer Licence from the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB), allowing the company to offer its diverse portfolio of games to providers in the state.
Expanding Markets and Direct Integration:
High 5 Games’ CEO, Anthony Singer, expressed excitement over the strengthened partnership with Rush Street Interactive. He mentioned that the direct integration into RSI’s platform enables them to access new markets rapidly and aligns with RSI’s current and future expansion plans. The successful migration to Michigan and New Jersey platforms has paved the way for the recent launches in Pennsylvania and Ontario, with more markets on the horizon.
Offering a Stellar Portfolio:
RSI’s CEO, Richard Schwartz, spoke highly of High 5 Games’ casino content, emphasizing the confidence that players will thoroughly enjoy the company’s fantastic portfolio of games.

Recent Expansions in Michigan and New Jersey:
The partnership between High 5 Games and RSI had already seen success in other regions.

During the same month, High 5 Games expanded its reach in New Jersey through collaborations with BetMGM Casino, Borgata Casino, and Party Casino.
Growth in Pennsylvania’s Gaming Revenue:
The gaming industry in Pennsylvania continues to thrive, with combined revenue from regulated gaming and fantasy contests reaching $448.4 million in September. This marked a notable 7.9% increase compared to the same period in the previous year. Sources of gaming revenue, such as slot machines, table games, internet gaming, sports wagering, fantasy contests, and video gaming terminals (VGTs), contribute to the state’s overall success. Retail slots revenue saw a slight decrease of 0.18% year-on-year, while retail table games revenue experienced a 2.9% decline, reaching $198.5 million and $81 million, respectively.
