Wisdom behind online rummy card games

1.No of Decks

The number of decks is proportional to the number of players playing the game. Assuming 6 players play the game, we cannot use a single deck as it is insufficient for the number of players. It is only logical that two decks of cards are used for a game that features 6 players.

2 No of Players

Most of the online rummy only allows 2-6 players in a table. The main reason behind this to retain the charm of the game and ensure competitiveness prevails throughout the game. We have heard the saying "too many cooks spoil the broth" – this holds true in online rummy, as too many players will make the game lose its sheen.

3.Shuffling of cards

The traditional way of playing rummy may lead to the bad shuffling. There are high chances that certain players are dealt favourable cards that can swing the game in their favour. In online rummy, everything is automated and shuffling/ dealing of cards will be done in seconds, arbitrarily. It makes the battlefield even and gives everyone a fair chance to win. Also, other factors that can influence the outcome like favouritism and abuse are prevented.

4.Joker Cards

Joker cards are primarily meant to provide everyone a fair chance to win. It is highly impossible to meld 13 cards without joker as the probability of getting all the cards in order is extremely low. At certain instances of offline rummy, apart from the printed jokers, a card is selected and kept face down that acts as a joker card. This makes sure everyone has a fair shot at getting the joker card.

5.Pure Sequence

The idea behind making pure sequence mandatory for declaring a show is what that makes rummy a game of skill more than being a game of chance. This ensures that none of the players have any unfair advantages in the game.

6.Middle drop

A player’s maximum score in Rummy is 80. If a player drops the game in the first turn, he/she get 20 points and the game continues till a winner emerges. If a player drops the game in any other turn, he/she gets 40 points. The wisdom behind this is that players don’t lose much money.

7.Scoring Pattern

10 points for A, K, Q, J, 10 while the points of the numerical cards (from 2 to 10) of all suites are their Face value. This shows that a lot of thinking has gone behind the scoring pattern.

This clearly shows that game of rummy was not an arbitrary knee-jerk invention among card games. So, it’s not surprising that rummy remains as the most preferred of all the free card games available in the market.
