The first casino in Philadelphia, US, is upgrading its facilities and changing its name.
SugarHouse Casino, which opened in 2010, will introduce a series of property upgrades later this year and rebrand as Rivers Casino Philadelphia. There is no change in ownership of the property.
Among the planned upgrades are a new state-of-the-art permanent sportsbook, a new signature restaurant and an online casino experience that complements the brick-and-mortar operations. This rebranding represents a $15m reinvestment in the property.
Rivers Casino Philadelphia will debut later this year. “Since receiving our casino licence in 2006, gaming in Pennsylvania has evolved tremendously,” said Greg Carlin, CEO of SugarHouse Casino and Rush Street Gaming.
“Keeping pace with the changing landscape has been paramount to our success. Creating a unified brand is another example of how we’re anticipating and responding to the competitive market for gaming.”
