Defense attorney Andrew Leavitt called Carter's arrest March 9 at the Texas Station casino in North Las Vegas the result of "an absolute misunderstanding."
"He was confused when he made the bet," Leavitt told The Associated Press. "He didn't know how to play the game. He wasn't trying to cheat anyone."
Leavitt appeared Monday before a North Las Vegas judge who postponed action in the case until April 18. Carter didn't appear in court. Leavitt said his client was out of the country on Monday.
Carter faces three felony charges of fraudulent act in a gaming establishment. Security officials reported he was videotaped adding a $5 chip to three bets after the dice had already rolled. Carter denied wrongdoing when police arrived. Each charge carries a possible sentence of one to six years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
Leavitt said he was trying to negotiate a resolution of the case before Carter appears in court.
