Former NBA star Antoine Walker isn't afraid to walk into the belly of the beast -- he was arrested at a casino Wednesday night despite a warrant out for his arrest ... over alleged gambling debts.
Walker was popped at a Harrah's Casino in South Lake Tahoe, Nevada and later released on $135,000 bond. He allegedly owes $822,000 in gambling debts and faces three felony counts of writing bad checks.
He's due in Las Vegas Justice Court on Monday.

Antoine Walker's nickname used to be Employee Number 8 -- now it's Employee Number minus 822,500.
Walker has been charged with three felonies for allegedly obtaining gambling markers by passing $1 million in bad checks to three Las Vegas casinos: Caesars Palace, Planet Hollywood and Red Rock Resort.
Walker has paid back some of the bad markers, but still owes $822,500.
Good luck shimmying out of this one, 'Toine.

Former NBA star Antoine Walker was arrested and charged with suspicion of drunken driving in Miami Beach early Monday morning. Take that, Charles Barkley!
Police pulled over the 6'9", 250 pound Walker after he was spotted driving a black Mercedes with the lights off. Cops say they smelled "a strong odor of alcohol" and his eyes looked "bloodshot." Walker refused a breathalyzer test.
'Toine played several seasons with the Boston Celtics and was a member of the Miami Heat when they won the NBA title in 2006. He has not played a game this season.
