American R&B artist and Grammy winner Macy Gray apparently is an avid card player, recently telling The Telegraph about her trips to Sin City.

When asked if she likes gambling, the 45-year-old Gray replied:

“I love gambling and that’s another bad financial decision I’ve made; to play cards for money.”

She continued candidly: “The most I’ve won in one night is $28,000 playing blackjack and when I’m in Vegas I love playing poker and I just lose my mind but not to the point where I think I’ve got a problem. I don’t get up in the middle of the night and go every day, nothing like that.”

Gray added that she’s lost “hundreds of thousands” of dollars playing cards.

In 2012, gossip site PerezHilton.com claimed that Gray canceled a performance at Foxwoods casino-resort because she said she was ill but then was seen gambling at the property.
