Resorts first N.J. casino to launch daily fantasy sports games

Who will score more points: Russell Westbrook or LeBron James? Who will throw for more touchdowns: Cam Newton or Carson Wentz? Will Manny Machado or Mike Trout have a better night at the plate? Resorts Casino Hotel is giving sports fans a chance to use their knowledge to make money. On Monday, Resorts launched FastPick, an online daily fantasy sports game in which customers choose head-to-head player matchups of athletes. To start, the contests will only be available online. If a customer’s team of players gains more points than those assigned to the casino, the customer wins. Resorts is the first casino in New Jersey to let patrons play daily fantasy sports contests for money. According to a spokesman for the American Gaming Association, Nevada is the only other state to offer daily fantasy sports games for money through casinos.
