Gamers can’t get enough of Flo, the fast-moving waitress of Diner Dash. So PlayFirst is launching Diner Dash Rush on iOS as the latest version of a game series that has been a casual-gaming juggernaut.

Diner Dash has generated more than 700 million downloads for San Francisco-based game publisher PlayFirst since the first title launched in 2004. The game helped pioneer the category of casual games and became a hit across a variety of platforms. But the newest, Diner Dash Rush, is debuting first on the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch.
