Ray J, a recording artist with four studio albums from 1997, was at the San Manuel Casino in Southern California this week playing the popular "Buffalo" slot.

According to the report TMZ , he put $ into the machine and I drilled the jackpot for $ 17,000. The value of $ 17,000 will not significantly affect his life as his net worth is said to be over $14 million.

In 2010, Ray J and his sister starred in their own reality show in VH1 named Brandy and Ray J: A Family Business. The show documented the lives of both siblings as they managed their musical careers and turned into entrepreneurs.

Norwood has loose ties to the poker world when he dated Kim Kardashian in the early 2000s. Kardashian was last seen taking poker lessons from the age of 15 - time World Series of Poker bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth, and the poker game has appeared in several episodes of her own reality show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
