Speaking on Drehkoff’s appointment, Bluhm said: “We thank Greg for his many contributions and for helping to build a great business.
“Greg has a proven eye for recruiting and developing top talent, of which Tim is a great example. We wish Greg the very best and look forward to many future successes under Tim’s leadership.”
Carlin said: “Rush Street is in great hands with Tim as CEO, and we’ve never had a more talented group of executives at all our properties.
“I’m especially proud of the culture we’ve built, and I’m excited about the path ahead for Rush Street Gaming and for myself. My sincere gratitude to the entire Rush Street Gaming team,” he added.
