Fantasy sports is a skill game and not considered gambling. Nevertheless, when the New Jersey casino regulators approved betting on fantasy sports earlier this year, it opened fantasy sports to the Atlantic casino.
However, the casino aren't seeing the demand for betting in the fantasy sports even the though fantasy sports continues it sustained growth. None of 12 Atlantic City casino are offering any tournaments for fantasy sports.

MY TAKE: It is a tough business to compete with non gambling entities like ESPN and CBS Sports. For casinos and gambling organizations to have success in fantasy sports would require them to create a business plan where mainstream organizations such as the ESPN, who's parent company owns Mickey Mouse, would not dare to go.
