Bill Keena

Bill Keena’s winning track record for Rush Street began in 2011 when the company opened Rivers Casino in Des Plaines with Keena as general manager. The Chicago-area venue quickly became Illinois’ top-performing casino and has been so ever since. Between his appointments as the top local executive for Rivers Casino in various markets, Keena served Rush Street Gaming as an enterprise-wide casino industry consultant. Today, Keena serves as Rush Street Gaming’s COO.

Keena began his gaming career in 1988, after graduating from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. He joined Harrah’s finance department, where his responsibilities grew to include casino and hotel oversight as general manager of Harrah’s Laughlin, Nevada, and Harrah’s St. Louis, Missouri. Thereafter, he was promoted to regional president for Harrah’s, simultaneously overseeing four full-service casinos and resorts, two in Missouri and two in Iowa.
