Having recently lost her Bentley GT in a Las Vegas poker tournament, PartyPoker.com has offered Paris Hilton the chance to win a new car in an online tournament against a professional player.

The hotel heiress was reportedly devastated after losing her $178,000 Bentley in a game of poker at her family's casino in Las Vegas.

Ms Hilton has now been banned from gambling in casinos by her parents, according to the Daily Star, although PartyPoker believes it has come up with an original idea to get around her parents disapproval.

"We're offering her the chance to get lucky and she doesn't even need to leave her house," Warren Lush, a spokesman for PartyPoker.com, the world's largest online poker room said.

"If she goes heads-up online in a no limit Texas Hold'em challenge against poker legend Mike Sexton and wins, we'll hand her the keys to a brand spanking new Bentley," he added.

The offer is understood to be valid for up to 30 days, although thus far Ms Hilton has failed to respond.
