## What is Gin Rummy HD!?

Gin Rummy is a hugely popular card game, where the aim is to form sets and runs of cards before your opponent. It's simple and quick to play, and if you are new to the game then Gin Rummy provides everything you need to learn it!
A member of the Rummy family, Gin Rummy is an immensely popular card game owing to the high skill component of the game when compared to other casino card games.

It is a two-player card game. Gin Rummy is played with a standard 52-card pack of cards. The ranking from high to low is King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, Ace (kings over aces).

The objective in gin rummy is to score points and reach an agreed number of points or more, usually 100, before the opponent does.

A player can form any combination of melds within their hand, whether it contains all sets, all runs, or a mix of both. A hand can contain three or fewer melds to knock or form legal gin.

The deadwood count is the sum of the point values of the deadwood cards—aces are scored at 1 point, face cards at 10, and others according to their numerical values.

Intersecting melds are not allowed; if a player has a 3-card set and a 3-card run sharing a common card, only one of the melds counts, and the other two cards count as deadwood.

Call Gin if you have no deadwood other than your discard, or knock if your deadwood is 10 points or less. At the end of a hand, the winner scores their opponent's deadwood points and a bonus for Gin!

After discarding a card, you can end the round by knocking if your deadwood point is less than or equal to 10. Then your opponent will have a chance to lay off his deadwood cards if those cards can form melds with those of yours. After that, if your deadwood point is less than your opponent's, you will be awarded a score equal to the difference in the deadwood points. But if your opponent has a smaller deadwood point, this is called an "undercut" and he will receive 25 points plus the difference in the deadwood points.

If you have no deadwood then your opponent will not be allowed to lay off, and an extra 25 points will be added to your score. The game ends when the score of a player reaches 300.

A player wins the hand by being the first to play all the cards in their hand by either melding, laying off or discarding. Once a player has gone out, the hand is ended. No other players may meld, lay off or discard their cards even if they have valid combinations already in their hand.

New and experienced players can all enjoy this game by utilizing the three different game type - Straight Gin, Oklahoma Gin, Hollywood Gin.

Saddle up and prepare for the most addictive Gin Rummy game.

### 3/5 — Too many glitches

*2022-05-02, version 3.0*

The game is fun and easy to understand, but has problems. Too often it malfunctions when you try to start a game and sometimes you think you have won, but when you look at your opponents’ cards you realise that if they had been better arranged they had gun before you.

### 3/5 — Ugh! Do the Dev Team even play this game?!?

*2022-02-22, version 3.0*

I’m giving it 3 stars because I like to play this game and actually play it a lot. HOWEVER: 1) you have to be on your toes at all times with your card arrangement, and even then sometimes you get screwed. For instance, you can have rummy but if you have a set of three one of which just happens to be adjacent to the suited run that you have it will usually rearrange AFTER you’ve knocked so that you no longer have rummy…you have residual points. What just happened to me: I had rummy. The game told me I had rummy. I pressed “Knock for rummy” and because I had a run of JQK of hearts and a threesome of 10s including the 10 of hearts it rearranged and said I had 20 points (it put my 10 of hearts with my run, not with the other two tens despite me having it arranged and despite the game saying “knock for rummy” this AFTER I pressed knock for RUMMY!) so my opponent got an undercut score plus points differential. It’s just annoying and unfair and ruins my enjoyment of the game. 2) The betting system pisses me off. If you bet 100 (admittedly imaginary) dollars you can be paired with someone who bet $50 on the game. If they win, they bet $50 to gain $150. If I win I bet $100 to win $150. Again, not fair. Pair me with someone who bet the same amount of imaginary dollars as me. Every other game out there has figured out how to do this. It ain’t that hard,

Plus side: their “watch this video for (imaginary) dollars” is worth $500 (imaginary) so whenever I feel like the game screwed me I just do that and don’t watch video but get the (imaginary) dollars. Just helps me feel that justice is served but truly just wish the game would fix these stupid things already.

### 2/5 — Get your act together

*2021-05-09*

I am really tired of your game jamming and I have to quit to get going again plus I loose my bet. Very irritating!

### 1/5 — Update destroyed the game.

*2021-04-29*

This used to be a great game-played every day. Would have given 5stars...then you did the update. They took away most of the settings option. Forced timed game that ends it while I am still playing. No place to get answers to my questions!!!!!!! The update destroyed the game.

### 4/5 — Pop ups

*2020-05-16, version 2.1*

I used to pay this on my Samsung tablet and had NO ads popping up right in the middle of the game very frustrating ,please fix it or I am poof gone

### 1/5 — Changes to App

*2019-03-12*

So sorry you had to require ads to continue offering this App. I’m out!

### 4/5 — The ads drive me crazy!

*2019-02-22, version 2.1*

I would gladly pay money not to receive ads. But I don’t know how or whom to pay. Otherwise it’s pretty fun.

### 1/5 — Tooo many adds

*2017-06-12*

When the game starts and you get your deal ADD. When do I get to play

### 1/5 — Adds, Adds, Adds

*2017-06-07*

OMG I love this game, but enough with the adds... makes it impossible to play!!!

### 1/5 — Too frequent ads

*2017-03-31*

I understand that ads made apps free but the update about a month ago make this game almost impossible to play with the ads popping up every few seconds. It's utterly ridiculous. Delete
