Las Vegas Justice Court Judge Melanie Andress-Tobiasson aproved the deal, and warned Walker about making the payments, saying that if as many as one payment was late or missed, she will send the case to a District Court.

According to the agreement, Walker will have to pay almost $13,000 a month over five years, totaling $905,050 in restitution and penalties, including a $135,000 cash bail  posted after Walker arrest in July, 2009 at a Lake Tahoe hotel. Walker was arrested for failing to pay gambling debts, which is considered a major crime in Clark county. The amount will also cover hundreds of thousands of dollars in casino debts with Caesars Palace, Planet Hollywood Resort and Red Rock Resort and Casino and incurred between July 2008 and January 2009.
