Saying he wrote bad checks is kinda misleading he almost certainly took out a marker when they had his bank account info saying he didn’t have the funds to gamble and lost.
It’s kinda not misleading though because he might have used checks or a checking account for markers and either way the funds weren’t available when they went to collect funds. So it’s basically the same thing as presenting bad checks.
To answer the original question.. it was a different time and casinos would take checks.. I think grocery stores took checks more often as well. Checks were a thing.
Now nobody wants a check bc the nature of people lately is to be scum and not have the money available.
When did we become a society of check bouncers and welchers of debt is the real question.
