Online Rummy has a number of variations. However, the Points Rummy format of 13-card Indian Rummy is the most popular game of online rummy. The reason the 13-card game is more popular than the 21-card game is that it’s very easy to learn and play. The game gets over in a shorter time as there are a smaller number of cards. That inspires you to play more and keeps you immersed once you get the momentum. The 13-cards rummy game is the most popular game among online rummy games played with any mobile rummy app.

No, a 5th card is not allowed in a set in rummy. A group of more than 4 cards of the same value is an invalid set. Even a wild card/Joker cannot be added as the fifth card to a set.

It’s an online world. Don’t worry if you are outside India - you can play online rummy from anywhere in the world, provided you have an internet connection. Download rummy app for your convenience and enjoy the cash rummy game whenever and wherever you like. The money you win will get directly transferred to your account online.

All the popular rummy sites use flash technology for game tables and cards. High-resolution graphics are being used extensively to improve the interactivity with users, and it enhances the look and feel of the rummy game, especially in the mobile rummy app. Apart from these two technologies, Java and JavaScript programming language are used to write programs for the server side and the client side respectively. jQuery and HTML5 are the other two technologies used commonly in online rummy.

Here are some tips on increasing the winning rate in the entertaining and exciting game of rummy:
1. Always focus on melding a pure sequence first as it’s a must for a valid declaration.
2. Learn how to use the Joker wisely as it helps in forming an impure sequences or a set.
3. Keep track of the cards your opponents discard and pick (cards picked from the open deck). Don’t gift them a game by discarding cards that can be useful to them.
4. Discard high-value cards as early as possible to minimize your points. Even if you happen to lose, that strategy will help you avoid losing by a big margin.

Indian Rummy has been an integral part of Indian culture for centuries, but despite its being such a popular game, there are quite a few myths about rummy, usually believed by people who only speculate and haven’t played a single game of rummy in their lifetime! Here are some most common misconceptions about rummy:
a. Indian Rummy is illegal. Rummy is not illegal at all as the honorable Supreme Court of India has clearly stated that rummy is a game of skill and playing cash rummy online is not gambling. Indian Rummy has been declared a game of skill by the Supreme Court.
b. Players playing against you online are robots. Many people think that in free online rummy games, there are robots who play against real players, but it couldn’t be farther from the truth. As there are millions of players playing online rummy, there’s always a real person available to play against you online: you always play against real players, not robots.
c. Online rummy is more difficult than offline rummy. Though online rummy might be a little difficult to understand for people who are not used to smartphones or computers, even they learn playing the online version of the game soon and it’s not at all difficult for people who know how to play offline rummy and how to use smartphones. It’s just like offline rummy and if anything, the online version is easier than the offline version of the game as there’s no hassle of holding physical cards in your hand or deciding who will deal cards. The user-friendly interface and appealing design of online rummy games enable people to enjoy hassle-free rummy anytime, anywhere.
d. Rummy is a game of luck. It is one of the most common myths. Rummy is a game of skill, not luck, as it involves adopting strategies and using your skills. Though you might sometimes be lucky to be playing against a newbie who makes big mistakes allowing you to win easily, but that’s all there is to luck in rummy. Practice rummy and improve your skills to win more and big in the game.

Here are some common strategies that help rummy players to become pros in the game:
a. Discard the high-value cards that are unlikely to be useful for forming sequences or sets. High-value cards like the Jack, Queen, King and Ace are worth 10 points each. If these cards are ungrouped when your opponent declares their hand, you’ll lose by a big margin. Discarding useless high-value cards in the beginning moves minimizes the risk of losing by a big margin.
b. Keep a track of your opponent’s moves to get an idea their cards. Discard cards that they don’t need and retain those they need.
c. Use the Joker wisely to form a sequence or set. Remember a sequence in which the Joker replaces any other card is an impure sequence.

A table where the game of rummy is played is called a Rummy table.

In rummy, the Joker is a card that can be used as a trump card. It can be used in place of any missing card to form a set or sequence. There are two types of Jokers: printed Jokers and wild cards. While printed Jokers come with a joker’s picture printed on them, wild cards are chosen randomly at the beginning of each game. Wild cards also act as Jokers, so they are a kind of additional Jokers.

When a rummy game begins, each player has their cards in their hand, and at the center of the table, there is a stack of cards placed face down (called the closed deck) and a card placed face up (called the open deck or discard pile). Each player picks a cards from the closed deck or open deck on their turn, which is called drawing. Then they get rid of one of their cards by putting it on the open deck, which is called discarding. Thus, to draw is to pick a card and to discard is to get rid of one.

Your winning or losing a rummy game depends on how you sort your cards and how you play your moves. Sorting of cards is grouping cards in a way that they form sets or sequences or are easier to arrange/use in sets and sequences later. It’s better to sort your cards into three groups of three cards each and a fourth group of four cards arranged in ascending order of their values. For example: Ace-2-3; 4-5-6; 7-8-9; 10-Jack-Queen-King.

Every player has the option to choose whether or not they want to play a game/a particular round in a game before drawing their first card. If they decide not to play a game/round before drawing their first card, then it is a drop, an initial drop.
If a player drops out of a 101 Pool game, they get 20 points as a penalty.
The penalty points for dropping out of a 201 Pool game are 25.
A player cannot drop out of a Best of 2 or Best of 3 game.

Cash tournaments are one of the most exciting parts of online rummy. Cash tournaments enable you to win a fortune by showcasing your rummy skills. You invest just a small amount as the registration/entry fee to get an entry to a cash tournament and get an opportunity to win mega cash prizes! Some of the most popular cash tournaments hosted on Junglee Rummy are as follows:

Before a player can be declared the winner of a game, he/she has to declare/show their hand of cards for validation. This is called showing/declaring. Let’s see what kind of hands are invalid.
● There should be a minimum of at least two sequences including one pure sequence and the remaining cards have to be arranged in sets or sequences
● The absence of a pure sequence makes a declaration invalid even if there are two sequences and all the cards are in sequences and sets.
● Just one sequence is not enough: a valid hand has to have at least two sequences.
● The presence of more than 4 cards in a set makes the set invalid. Even a wild card or Joker cannot be added as a fifth card.
● A group of cards with more than one card of the same suit doesn’t form a valid set

The following simple formula is used on Junglee Rummy to calculate winnings/the winning amount in Pool Rummy:
Winnings = (Entry Fee X Number of Players) – Junglee Rummy Fee.
For example, if there are 6 players at a Pool Rummy table and the entry fee is Rs. 50 per player, the prize pool will be Rs. 300. The winner will win the Pool Prize of Rs. 300 and the amount will be credited to the winner’s account after the deduction of the Junglee Rummy Fee.

Only one winner gets all the chips at the end of each deal in Deals Rummy. The winner gets chips equal to the points lost by the losing player.
Winnings = Sum of the points of all the opponents (considering each chip equal to one point).
For example, 2 players play a Deals Rummy game and one of them loses by 50 points. The winner will get 50 chips.

Rummy is a game of skill. It requires patience, focus and strategies for one to succeed. Indian Rummy is played by 2 to 6 players and 13 cards are dealt to each player by the dealer, who is decided by making a toss. One by one, clockwise, each player gets to deal cards in subsequent games. However, in online rummy you don’t have to bother about that as cards are dealt, absolutely randomly, by the game program automatically, which also does away with any possibility of unfair dealing.

Though playing rummy is fun, it requires smart thinking, and those who like to play with numbers can master the game easily. Practice estimation in rummy to learn the concept of probability and become a pro in the game. Some very basic probabilities in rummy are as follows:
1. Keep an eye on your opponent’s moves and estimate the probabilities of Jokers being in their hand by analyzing how many Jokers you and the discard section have. As you practice this, it’ll become easier for you to estimate the probability of cards.
2. Understand the probability of a card being useful in forming a sequence/set by observing how many cards close to that card have been discarded and whether your opponent has picked any cards close to the card in value.
3. You can also figure out the probability of cards of a particular color by analyzing what color cards your opponents is mostly discarding.
4. Similarly, if your opponent picks two or more cards of the same value but different suits, they are definitely going for a set of the cards of that value.
5. Lastly, and most importantly, watching the discard section closely will give you a fairly good idea of the cards that might be in the deck and with your opponent.

If a player declares his/her hand before the opponent gets his/her his first turn, it is called a Deal Show in rummy. Here’s how points as calculated in case of a Deal Show:
1. The losing player gets half his/her total points. For example, if the total value of the losing player’s cards is 30, then he gets 15 points.
2. The minimum points that the losing player can get are 2.
3. The losing player can get maximum 40 points (if the total value of his/her cards is 80 or more).

According to card game books, calling Rummy is not necessary. But if a player leaves the discard pile in a state where it has cards that form a meld without needing any cards from any other player's hand, then before the next player picks a card, any player other than the one who just discarded a card can call Rummy and take the discard pile up to the last card in the meld formed. This player then discards one card and then the player to his/her left get their turns one by one clockwise.
