Jay-Z and Fanatics founder Michael Rubin are teaming up to host a $250,000 blackjack tournament this weekend in Atlantic City, we hear — as part of an exclusive event to celebrate the grand opening of the new Fanatics Sportsbook at Ocean Casino Resort.

The invite-only event on Sept. 15 will include a select group of high-profile guests, plus top-tier Fanatics Sportsbook customers and friends.

We hear attendees will watch 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. NFL games during the day with the hip-hop mogul and the Fanatics boss — who will both sit in for the final table at the blackjack tourney at the event.

Fanatics Sportsbook will be located inside Ocean Casino Resort’s “The Gallery,” a 12,000-square-foot gaming and bar space that serves as the centerpiece of the casino and has a 100-foot elevated bar and lounge plus 140 feet of LED video walls showing games and events like UFC fights.

Jay-Z is a co-founder and owner of Fanatics Sportsbook.
