Bobbi Kristina Facing Jail Time After Alleged Underage Gambling?

Bobbi Kristina Brown, 19-year-old daughter of late singer Whitney Houston, may be facing jail time after photographs captured her allegedly gambling illegally in Las Vegas this past weekend.

Brown was in Las Vegas to honor her mother at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards on Sunday, however she was spotted accompanying her 22-year-old boyfriend Nick Gordon at MGM Resort and Casino on Saturday night.

Although it has not been confirmed whether Brown actually engaged in gambling, the law in Las Vegas states that lingering in a casino while underage is also illegal. In Nevada, gamblers who are not at least 21 years old may be subject to six months in county jail or a $1,000 fine, while the casino is also punished.
