Good luck.

I might re-iterate Mousey's point about good casinos with bad checks. It does no good to contact the issuing bank to confirm funds in the account. When a processor 'pulls out' that money is meaningless as it simply won't be processed.
In my experience I phoned the issuing bank to confirm funds when I deposited the check. A day or two later was informed by eprocessor that the check would not be valid and to not cash it (too late) it took another two weeks before my bank debited my account. I am now assuming three weeks for paper checks drawn Stateside to clear, but am keeping a balance for 60 days just in case.
And we used to think a 48 hour 'hold' to reverse withdrawals was bad
