Blackjack, slots and poker each have their star turns
If you needed any more proof that online blackjack, online slots and online poker are bigger than ever, simply take a look at the phenomenon of celebrity casino players.
It's common knowledge that more and more Hollywood actors and chart-toppers are turning their hands to the top casino games nowadays. Some of them play for fun, others try to win money for charity and a few do it just because they want to be involved in the exciting world of gambling.
The following celebrity casino players have all taken part in real-world tournaments or launched their own games. However, we wouldn't mind betting that a few of them have also tried their hands at online blackjack, online slots and online roulette as well.
So without further ado, here is Kerching's list of the most famous celebrity casino players:
- Celebrity blackjack players - Blackjack is a popular celebrity casino game because the rules are easy to learn and hands are over quickly, making it ideal for those with busy lives. Legendary rapper Snoop Dogg is known to be a fan, while fellow rapper Coolio, rock star Meat Loaf and Sabrina the Teenage Witch star Melissa Joan Hart have played blackjack games on US TV.
- Celebrity slots players - Online casino players who have visited a real-world venue down the years will no doubt have noticed the wide selection of celebrity slots. Silver screen stars Clint Eastwood, Drew Carey and Pamela Anderson have all launched cabinets at the Global Gaming Expo in recent years - and so has rock hero and Kiss frontman Gene Simmons.
- Celebrity poker players - The World Series of Poker is famed the world over for attracting plenty of household names. Celebrity poker players to have tried their luck in the legendary tournament include talk show host Montel Williams, American Pie's Shannon Elizabeth and Hollywood pals Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.
