Casinos embrace esports.

N.J.» Casinos ATLANTIC CITY, in New Jersey, Nevada and elsewhere are slowly embracing competitive video game tournaments as a way to help their bottom lines. But the money is coming from renting hotel rooms to the young players and selling them food and drinks, not from turning them into gamblers. The video game tournaments are known as esports and are a rapidly growing industry around the world, with industry reports saying they generated $500 million last year and soon could be a $1.5 billion industry.
