RummyRoyal Launches Multiplayer Online Gin Rummy
by Devon Chappell, News Staff Writer
November 28, 2007
In recent times, Gin Rummy has become
one of the most popular online card games out of the
realm of traditional online casino gaming. Classified as
a skill game, online Gin Rummy has been steadily
blossoming into a legitimate tournament circuit card
game, much in the same way poker made its transition on
the Web, albeit with a much smaller following.
Nonetheless, Gin Rummy is the Queen of online skill
games and has an impressive following throughout Europe
and elsewhere.
Further impacting the online skill
gaming sector in recent months has been the new online
gaming site, RummyRoyal.com. Offering traditional Rummy,
Gin Rummy, Oklahoma Gin and Kalooki, Gin Rummy has
become a popular stop for Gin Rummy enthusiasts in the
short time they have been online. And now offering a
multi-player format to their Gin Rummy, RummyRoyal is
hoping to be the next tournament hub for skill gamers.
RummyRoyal is owned by RM Royal Media,
and operates a proprietary software platform available
for download. Accounts can be opened free of charge, and
players can either opt to play for real-money or
fun-money. Previews are offered on their website, and I
must say that compared to some of the better online
poker room software platforms out there, RummyRoyal
could use a little tweaking. I don't want to exaggerate
or anything, but the virtual players sitting around the
table look more like zombies than real people. Don't get
me wrong - the designers did a great job. I just think
the avatars could use some tweaking.
However you look at it, RummyRoyal is
reminiscent of your standard online casinos and poker
rooms. There is a 100% welcome bonus offering up to $200
Free, which can be redeemed as game fees are paid and
bonus points are earned. Furthermore, RummyRoyal is
catering itself to gamers in the U.S. market, where many
online casinos have dropped out because of the UIGEA.
Online skill gaming is in somewhat of a grey area in the
U.S., and RummyRoyal has no quips opening its doors
internationally. If you are a fan of Gin Rummy, it won't
hurt to open a fun-money account and give their games a
chance.
