AP club just got busted

You're right about the gambling device issue there. But those chips do not have value outside the club. I can't see a court ruling in the player's favor here.

There is plenty of evidence that the chips represent dollar amounts and a contract between the establishment (poker room) and the player that the chips had value. Obviously the chips don't have value, but the chips do give you a clear and unambiguous (although not necessarily legally enforceable) claim to a portion of the confiscated money.
