    Gambling is a very popular pastime for many individuals from all walks of life in the world, and that includes celebrities.

    Whilst some would argue that the money that they have been able to make themselves will have helped them to enjoy it a lot more than others, there is no doubt that they are still looking for the same things as everybody else.

    Indeed, when continue to hunt for the popular choice when looking for online sites as they know they will be able to benefit in a range of different ways, such as enjoying the best games or taking advantage of a number of special bonuses; celebrities might have a lot of money, but they also want the best bonuses available, too.

    So, who are some of the most famous celebrities known to fancy a flutter when playing a casino game? Let's take a look at some that are known to have spent millions when sitting at a table or playing online, as well as those who have kept things a little more private but have revealed that they do like a session:

    Floyd Mayweather Jr.

    He might be one of the world's most famous boxers to have ever competed in the sport and, arguably, been one of the best, however did you know he also liked to gamble? Unfortunately, it seems his boxing success has not quite translated to the blackjack table, though.

    "Money" Mayweather might have made a fortune whilst in the ring, but he has lost a lot of it whilst playing casino games. In fact, he is said to have bet just under $A15 million on Super Bowl XLVIII in 2014 on the Denver Broncos to beat the Seattle Seahawks; a result that did not happen.
