Resorts Casino Hotel introduces online daily fantasy sports contests

The oldest land-based casino in New Jersey has reportedly taken the bold step of introducing real-money online daily fantasy sports games with the premiere on Monday of its FastPick service. According to a report from The Associated Press news service, the FastPick innovation from Resorts Casino Hotel, which is operated by Mohegan Gaming and Entertainment, requires players to select three to ten players from a series of head-to-head match-ups across a range of sports. These picks then constitute a customer’s line-up with the remaining selections assigned to the house. A patron can then win cash if all of their selections amass more points than those allocated to the casino. As an example, the news service reported that FastPick will allow patrons to choose whether New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady or Green Bay Packers signal-caller Aaron Rodgers will have a better statistical National Football League (NFL) day on a given Sunday.
