Blackjack has always been a game that has attracted the rich and famous. It is very fun and can be addicting. It is a good way for someone who has a lot of money to lose — as most famous people do, being movie stars and the like — to have some fun and take risks. It is also a good way for them to quickly double their money. Blackjack has associations with a glamorous lifestyle; famous people enjoy it both for what it can provide in terms of fun and for the company that they can keep in the world’s most famous casinos. The following are a few famous people who have been seen playing Blackjack.
1. LeBron James
Best known for spurning the Cleveland Cavaliers, his hometown team, on nation television, James is a superstar in the NBA. He is possibly the best player in the league right now and his Miami Heat are heavily in contention to win it all this year. As such, James is well paid. He has been spotted in Vegas playing Blackjack at an event that he set up. James clearly was enjoying the game and appeared to be a professional — he had played before and knew what he was doing. He was also playing with five hundred dollars on every hand, and playing for a long time, so this is a man who is not afraid to take risks. He has enough money to risk as much as he wants.
2. Matt Kemp
This baseball player for the LA Dodgers also has money to put down and knows how to go out and have a good time. He was recently spotted playing Blackjack and appeared to be quite good at it. He was all dressed up for the event, as well, wearing a suit and tie. This is good because it shows that he respects the game and the other people who play it. Blackjack has traditionally been loved by people who like to dress up and look their best, and Matt Kemp stayed true to this spirit of the game.
3. Adam Levine
Adam Levine was made famous by his band Maroon 5, and he has been seen playing Blackjack at the Playboy Club. He did not wear a suit, but he still respected the unwritten dress code by wearing a black shirt along with his jeans. He seemed to enjoy the evening even though he was drinking nothing but water. This was a good example to other Blackjack players, because you make many more mistakes when you are drunk. You are more likely to take bad risks and lose. It is best to only drink water when you are playing.
