SUSAN FOSTER NAMED GENERAL MANAGER OF RIVERS CASINO PHILADELPHIA

Rush Street Gaming promotes global gaming veteran to top Philly post

PHILADELPHIA — July 15, 2024 — Rush Street Gaming announced today that international gaming executive Susan Foster has been appointed general manager of Rivers Casino Philadelphia.

“Having worked in various gaming jurisdictions in America and several other countries, I’m both an advocate for and an example of the tremendous opportunities casino gaming provides,” said Foster. “I’m very excited to be back in Pennsylvania at such a dynamic property.”

Foster began her casino career as a table games dealer in the U.K., Nigeria and the Bahamas. She later spent 14 years in Mississippi at Grand Casino & Resort and Bally’s Entertainment, where she led table games and poker operations. She then served as director of table games for Odawa Casino in Michigan, before accepting her first Pennsylvania job with Harrah’s Philadelphia.

While at Harrah’s, Foster received Caesars Entertainment’s highest award for excellence in leadership. Thereafter, Foster transitioned from the gaming floor to casino operations in 2015 with Hollywood Casino, where she served as vice president of operations at multiple Penn Entertainment properties for nearly a decade. Her direct responsibilities included the performance and operations of slots, table games, poker, food and beverage, environmental services, security, facilities and various hotels.

Foster joined Rivers Casino Philadelphia in April 2024 as assistant general manager. She succeeds Eric Althaus, who recently departed the Philly property.

“Susan’s broad worldview of gaming operations has significantly benefited Rush Street since she joined last spring,” said Tim Drehkoff, CEO of Rush Street Gaming. “Her history and familiarity with the southeastern PA gaming market has proven to be a great advantage for Rivers Philly.”
