Leave a Review Gin Rummy Royale!
Algorithms need work
I waited awhile to write a review. Game is good enough for enjoyment. However there is no way in mathematical-probability that every time I reach 60 games behind the AI, I begin losing for a good 15 games or so and then begin to have a good competitive hand until I get to the “magic number” (my husband and I now call it). I noticed this trend at around game 300 of my winnings vs AI. Between myself and the AI I have played over 1,000 games.Show lessLivelaughlove384
Game crashes often
Apart from the crashing the game is good but level of ads is a nightmaredorset21
Lame AI
I get the sense whoever coded the AI for this game never actually played gin before. It’s like they just Wikipedia’d the rules and then went to work on the AI. You can’t win by actually trying to go out. Just get down to 4 or fewer points and keep going until you get your gin, or more likely, let the AI go down and almost every time you’ll undercut them or they’ll come away with only 2-3 points. I just went through a game without going down once. Undercut them four times. On the harder levels it’s hard to come away with the sense that they just deal the AI better cards.
However this isn’t unique to mobile card games, usually the AI is some pretty basic if/then stuff augmented with a cheating dealer.
On top of all that, the animations are a bit over the top, the ads are beyond annoying, and the “jokers”... really, does this game need some silly P2P powerup? This developer’s old version was way better.Show lessJmdkln
A good version of Gin Rummy
I've been playing this iteration of gin rummy for the last couple of years. I've tried others but so far always come back to this one. I just went from a Kindle to an iPad so can't really compare the verdins yet but on the expert version on the Kindle I was winning about 60% of my games. I don't know how that stacks up with others or what it says about the IA of the game.
I did notice last year that it would sometimes discard a lower card than it kept when it knocked that didn't make a lot of sense. Perhaps that has been corrected in the latest update.
Overall, the game plays fast, with no hesitation. I have not attempted to play with others on line although I believe that is possible from looking at the FAQs.Show lessMov67
Not bad
Takes far too long to build up enough credit to get another version. Too many long adds too.Wasanaddict
Ads too long and algorithm is messed up
I get that developer wants to make money but latest version has too many 30 mandatory ads with no quick exit. Further, I would win and lose my fair share of games but this latest version has something wrong. The number of times the game knocks after 1-5 cards is disturbing. Sure everyone has a losing streak but something’s amiss here. I deleted this app and will look for another.Show lessDradeke
Gin Rummy Royale
Great game, smooth game play and a great, fun way to kill a bit of time if you are just waiting somewhere.Jonodolfart
Come on guys
So to repeat what a lot of other players have said. Yea the game has a nice flow, doesn’t crash blah blah blah. BUT you will never ever ever get cards you need but the computer gets them every time. I have lost after drawing only 2 cards multiple times. It’s not a every once in a while thing. Note to programmers, the more you let us win, the more we play your games. Not giving us a chance is not fun at all!!Show lessKylodell
Game still crashes frequently
In principle a good game and worth playing. However the upgrade didn't stop it crashing frequently on my iPad - it just does it after the adds instead, which is so frustrating.
The upgrade also didn't migrate my previous progress across, citing that it couldn't access the game centre.
Please sort this.Show lessRegalbirdy
Gin Rummy
This is the best gin game I've played online. Keeps me involved for long periods of time.
I'm having problems when I song on and click gin. When I clicl hard the screens blacks out and the game won't come back. I've had to reboot and it still won't open. It takes hrs. Before I can start the game. It's been perfect up until two wks ago.Show lessFran0310
