A Sydney mother of two and serial drink driver has sobbed in court as she was sentenced for fleeing the scene of a crash at Sydney's Star Casino.

Nicoletta Grotta, 37, crashed her Land Rover into another car in the casino's carpark just after 1.30am on Monday morning.

Security tried to stop her but she abandoned the 4WD and fled the scene.

Police later found Grotta in a stranger's car where she returned a blood alcohol reading four times the legal limit.

On Wednesday, the court heard Grotta had been disqualified from driving until 2035 at the time of the accident.

She had been already been caught driving under the influence on five separate occasions and driving while disqualified six times, the court was told.

Grotta sobbed as her lawyer argued for leniency due to mental health issues.

But the magistrate said her continual offending was of great concern and jailed her for 16 months, with a non-parole period of nine months.

Outside the court, her husband told reporters she needs help.

"When you mix alcohol with medication, it's a cocktail for disaster," Bob

"I'm happy in a way because she could've hurt somebody on the road, she could've killed somebody on the road, so that's justice," he said.

"I'm disappointed with the court, maybe they should have looked at it a little bit more, given her the help she needed," he told reporters outside the court.
