Prison is a perfect example of not needing actual dollars to gamble. Anything of worth can be used to gamble.Someone needs to read up on their history.

Hint #1: Asia isn't a country it's a continent made up of a number of countries and only some of them are communist.Hint #2: Even the countries that are communist aren't communist.As long as you can come up with something scarce you can play poker. Even if it's an artificial scarcity like play money chips. If we lived in a world where you didn't need money and nothing else was scarce (ie: sexual favors) then we could just play for play money in a closed system. IE play for the thrill of the competition.

I don't know the exact phrase, but there's one that goes like: Poker is just a game and money is the way of keeping score.Based on this quote it would seem like people would play with out money as long as they found another way to "keep score." But I disagree. Have you ever played in tournaments that were way below what you normally play? For instance, when I first began on pokerstars, I played in the $5 tournaments...then I made my way into the $100 tournaments. And when I try to play the $5 ones, I can't because they lost all of their importance.
