Paris Hilton’s parents have ordered her to stay away from their Las Vegas casino after she lost her $239,000 Bentley GT in a poker game. The party-loving socialite has now been ordered into rehab for gambling by her father Rick, 50, and mother Kathy, 47, who fear she’ll bet away her considerable fortune.

Already concerned by her addiction to poker, friends say the final straw for Paris’s parents came when the 25-year-old gambled away her car in a high-stakes hand recently. Shocked by their daughter’s out-of-control betting, Rick and Kathy decided enough was enough. “When they heard she’d bet her Bentley, they knew it had got out of hand,” an insider reveals. “She loved that car and wouldn’t part with it for any money.”

Even though the Paris Hotel And Casino was named after her, Paris is no longer welcome there. Her folks have banned the heiress from the club in a bid to cure her addiction. “Rick and Kathy introduced Paris to casinos, so feel really guilty,” says the source. “But they never thought she’d become so obsessed.”

Poker-crazy Paris now spends all her time gambling and admits she lives and breathes cards. The Simple Life star has become a regular fixture at Vegas casinos over the past few months, joining in poker tournaments with her younger sister Nicky, 22. “I’m obsessed with poker,” the older blonde socialite confesses. “It’s my favourite game now. I’m really lucky in Vegas. I always win.”
