Enterprising online casino firm Party Poker has issued a challenge to heiress Paris Hilton this week which could help the blonde bombshell recoup her recent poker losses. Hilton lost over 100,000 pounds sterling and her classic Bentley automobile in a land-based poker game last week.

But now Party Poker has made Hilton an offer that the publicity-mad heiress may find impossible to refuse.  The online gaming firm has offered Hilton 100,000 pounds and a brand new Bentley if she beats Mike Sexton, the host of online casino site Party Poker, in a game of heads up No-Limit Hold 'Em poker. Hilton has 30 days to decide whether or not to accept the challenge, which will be hosted at the online poker site.

"Paris has said she is mad about poker and that she always wins in Vegas. We're offering her the chance to get lucky and she doesn't even need to leave her house," stated Warren Lush, the spokesman for Party Poker. "We're aware that her parents have banned her from gambling at their casino. This online challenge solves all her problems...she can cover her losses without stepping foot in there."

The offer has already attracted substantial attention from U.S. and British media and could gain the online casino firm and Hilton a great deal of exposure. Party Poker has also stated that Hilton can choose to face the challenge on land if she prefers.
