We all know celebrities like to gamble and can often be seen playing poker or blackjack at casinos around the world. Celebrities are the elite and have the means to gamble a good deal without it truly hurting their pocketbook. One celebrity seen playing poker quite often is Robbie Williams.

Williams is a well known singer, especially from his days in the popular group Take That. Williams recently bought a house in the Wiltshire countryside and has been visiting the local poker hot spots particularly the Swindon Premier Club.

The Sun recently reported that Williams has been frequenting the poker club with another poker player, Jonathan Wilkes. It was even reported the Williams is quite good and a formidable opponent at the poker table.

It may not be long before we see Williams playing in major live events or even signing up with a sponsor as so many poker players seem to be doing these days, especially those who are already popular and have a following.
