(NYSE: RSI) ("RSI"), one of the most trusted and fastest-growing online casino and sports betting gaming companies in the United States, will be making history when it brings its five-star service at BetRivers.com to Iowa's five-star sports culture. As fans prepare to watch Iowa State make history at their first Fiesta Bowl and watch the top ten nationally ranked Hawkeyes get into the thick of the Big Ten men's basketball schedule, beginning January 1st residents over the age of 21 can now register remotely from anywhere in the state to place their bets on their home state heroes.

In addition to RSI's instant online payout system, Iowans can choose to visit Wild Rose casinos should they wish to be paid out in-person.

"RSI is known for its outstanding reputation as a top-rated online and retail sportsbook operator in neighboring states, which was very important to us when choosing a sports betting partner," said Rick Gilson, Corporate Internal Auditor of Wild Rose.
