Gin Rummy – The Global Family Game

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

If there’s one game that can be truly called global, its gin rummy. It is played worldwide by people of all ages. Most of us learn playing gin rummy in our childhood and have fond memories of playing it with our siblings and parents. Even though poker is probably the most popular casino card game these days, gin rummy is also not far behind either.

The reason behind its popularity is that it is very easy to play and learn. There are no complicated strategies or rules in this game and that’s what makes it a favorite among players.

Gin rummy is an extremely fun game that doesn’t have complicated tricks attached to it. But still, there are some steps that you can take to ensure that you emerge as a winner in the game. Some of the strategies are as follows:

1. This strategy is suitable for any variant of gin rummy. Make sure that you knock the hand as early as you can. This will earn you extra points of the deadwood in other players’ hands and you can also score on the line which can help you after the game is over. For this, divide the hand in 3 melds, two of which should be sets or runs and one should be a group of cards whose total should not be more than knock number.

2. Don’t just pick any card on the basis of speculation as it gives your opponents an upper hand in the game. This is because, each time you pick up a discarded card from the pile, you expose some information about the kind of cards you have. This alerts your opponents that you need cards related to that particular card, even though it is not even melded yet. This may not only stop you from completing your existing meld, but also stop you from creating new ones.

3. If you want your opponent to throw a particular card in the pile, then a common strategy is to discard a card from a similar rank. This will lead your opponent to believe that you don’t need that card and he will discard it. Even though, this is a risky trick but many times, it proves to be very effective.

While playing, also remember that your opponents might know these tricks too. So, be alert and don’t fall in the same trap you are trying others to trap into.

These days, online gin rummy and online rummy games are getting extremely popular. In fact, rummy, in all its variants, is one of the most popular internet casino games. There are loads of online casinos and gaming portals which offer realistic gin rummy game plays. In the online casinos, you can play the game with best players from all over the world and win money too.

So, what are you waiting for? Just log on to any good online casino and start playing your favorite game of gin rummy.

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

Rummy Royal is the home of online rummy games and the most entertaining place to play all types of rummy with players from around the world.  Rummy is a skill-based card game which is often played for money stakes.  As well a challenging and entertaining game, it is a great way to meet fellow players and win some cash.  As opposed to gambling games, online rummy is completely legal.

Gin Rummy is the classic, most often played form of rummy and is really easy to learn.  Each player aims to get rid of all his cards by forming sets and runs, also known as melds.  Oklahoma Gin is a slightly different variation where players must lay down all their cards at once to win the game.  Mahjong is also a version of rummy, originating in the Far East, and played for centuries.  It is played with tiles instead of cards, and uses Chinese symbols.  Similarly, the game of Rummikub is also played with tiles, numbered 1 to 13.  Players make melds, like in rummy, and must dispose of their tiles to win.

Tournaments make for exciting play and the chance to win real money raises the stakes and gets the adrenalin going.  Once you’ve learned the basics and checked out the rummy demos, which clearly explain each game with pictures and examples, you’ll be ready to get playing.  Freeroll tournaments are particularly worthwhile, since they are free to enter, and yet offer cash prizes.
