Since the modern clubs are generally referred to as "Underground Clubs," that would be an apt term. I have heard of underground clubs in 4 of the 5 borroughs of New York, White Plains, the 2 counties of Long Island, Boston, D.C., Philadelphia, parts of Texas, and I think it was chuck who had some from a club in Arizona. I believe it's how I have normally referred to the clubs. I would have no problem referring to the chips from underground clubs as undergrounds. No matter where the chips originate, they do come from illegal gambling operations, and should not be lumped in with chips from home games, fantasy chips and the like.

And if anyone has any to trade, from anywhere, please contact me.
