Rush Street Gaming has appointed Cliff Ehrlich as its successor to retiring chief operating officer Bill Keena.
Ehrlich transitioned into casino development and operations in the 1990s, and his experience includes his most recent work as chief operating officer of Navajo Nation Gaming Enterprise, where the oversight of four casinos was among his responsibilities.
He previously worked at Monticello Casino & Raceway as president, chief operating officer and general manager until 2013.
“Cliff’s ground-up casino development experience, deep operations background and team leadership ensure that all five Rivers Casino properties remain in great hands,” said Tim Drehkoff, CEO of Rush Street Gaming.
“He will continue the strong forward momentum established by Bill Keena, for whom we wish the very best in retirement.”
Ehrlich joined The Downs Racetrack & Casino in Albuquerque after consulting with Mohegan Sun regarding upstate New York development opportunities. There, he served as general manager and chief operating officer. He later ran two casinos for The Navajo Nation — Northern Edge and Flowing Water.
Keena will remain in a consulting role with Rush Street Gaming to ensure a smooth transition, the company said.
