Jay-Z reveals gambling habit

Hip-hop star Jay-Z has revealed that he enjoys gambling when visiting London.

In an interview with Time Out, the rapper stated that he was a formidable blackjack and poker opponent.

"I'm a pretty big, almost professional, gambler," he said.

However, the 38-year-old refused to name his favourite casinos for fear of being hassled at the tables.

He added: "I'm not gonna say any names because that'll mess it all up, but there are these little private clubs you can go to in the West End where you can hang out and gamble, and it's pretty cool."

Jay-Z will headline Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage tomorrow night (June 28).
