Rush Street Gaming has appointed Antonio Perez Jr. as the new general manager of its Rivers Casino Portsmouth property in Virginia.

Perez joins the company after working in gaming for more than two decades. In this time, he had stints with six properties across five states, including commercial and tribal gaming.

Prior to this, he worked at Penn Entertainment, spending time at properties in West Virginia, Maine, Missouri and Mississippi.

Development Work Continues at Rivers Casino Portsmouth

Perez takes on the new role at a time of significant change at Rivers Casino Portsmouth. In May, construction plans were revealed for an eight-story boutique hotel adjacent to the casino.

“I’m honored to join the team and Hampton Roads community,” Perez said. “Rush Street Gaming has a strong reputation for operational excellence and community commitment. I look forward to building on that solid foundation.”

Rush Street Gaming CEO Tim Drehkoff added: “We’re excited to welcome Antonio to our growing family of destination casinos. His extensive background in team development, guest experience, and operations makes him an excellent choice to lead our Virginia property.”
