One possibility would be "Scarne's Drunken Poker Deal" from _Scarne on Card Tricks_, which itself was based on a genuine crooked gambling scam. I think any four ace trick could have a gambling theme. Three Card Monte with the bent corner dodge would be effective. (I remember a magic friend of mine who was not that familiar with three card monte saw Scarne perform it on an old Jack Paar show and thought Scarne had really screwed up when he "unintentionally" bent the corner of the queen.) There are some youtube clips of Scarne doing real gambling sleights as well as someone doing the drunken poker deal. There was a good gambling routine in one of the Bruce Elliott books as well, possibly either _The Best in Magic_ (most likely) or _Professional Magic Made Easy_. Finally, there is the Vernon Cutting the Aces routine from _Stars of Magic_.
