The idiom "have had one's chips" is believed to have originated in gambling, where "chips" are used to represent money. When a player loses all of their chips, they are out of the game and have nothing left to bet. In modern usage, this idiom is often used in a more general sense to describe any situation where a person or group has lost everything or failed completely.
