At the grand opening party for the Palazzo Las Vegas, Christina Ricci was on a winning streak.

"I've learned to love gambling," Ricci told People magazine. "I was in Australia for a few months and gambling is like a national pastime there, so I learned to love betting on horses, and now I even put in a few football bets and I'm kind of obsessed and into it. Gambling is pretty good."

The 27-year-old starlet seemed to find a way to win at Palazzo's blackjack tables, though she admitted her luck with the ponies needed to improve.

"I have no strategy and I never pick winners," she said. "But it's still fun."
