Lampard gets lucky at Las Vegas casino

Chelsea star clinches blackjack and roulette jackpot during holiday in US gambling capital.

Premier League star Frank Lampard hit the jackpot during a gambling session in Las Vegas this week, according to reports.

The Chelsea and England midfielder, who is currently on holiday in the Nevada casino capital, is believed to have won £300,000 in one evening playing blackjack and roulette, the Sun reports.

A source close to Lampard told the newspaper after his win: "This will pay for his trip."

The 31-year-old footballer is a regular visitor to Vegas and has chosen to stay at the Wynn Hotel and Casino, one of the city's most high-profile resorts, with a group of friends.

According to the Daily Mail, one of the people holidaying with Lampard is former EastEnders star Michael Greco.

Now a celebrity poker player, Greco has taken part in several World Series of Poker events and recently won $248,855 (£151,447) for finishing third in a $1,500 no-limit hold'em tournament.
