Luke Bryan has spent the month of February in Las Vegas playing his residency at Resorts World, and he plays shows this weekend there as well. He told us that yeah, he likes to gamble a bit. 

Luke said, "I always have fun gambling. I'm not a big, 'Go out there and get all stressed out' about gambling. If you're around me gambling, I just like to make some fun bets, smoke a cigar, drink a beer, high-five my buddies, cut up with the pit bosses and the dealers."

Bryan says gambling helps him relax a bit, "It's all kind of like a fun little release for me. When I'm gambling, I'm just having fun in the moment. It's not like I'm trying to come out here and pay for a pick-up truck. My main thing is just to have fun."

Luke will be back in Vegas playing shows this summer. He posted to Instagram, "Doubling down on Vegas! Tickets for my summer shows at @ResortsWorldLV are on sale now!"
