  • Each Money Multiplier has a max winning limit.

  • Each Money Multiplier has an expiry date & a player cannot earn or apply the Money Multiplier once it expires.
  • If a player starts a Money Multiplier game before it expires, he/she is still eligible for the multiplied winnings of that particular game.

  • The Week of Winnings starts as soon as the player makes their first login between the offer window.
    • For example: Let's say the offer period is from 12th January to 14th January. If a player's first login is 13th January, then the Challenges will end on 20th January. This way a player stands a chance to grab all 7 daily cash rewards!
  • The Week of Winnings is applicable on 6 Player tables only.

Pool Rummy

101/201 - 2 Player/6 Player

Pool Rummy is a variant of the 13-card Indian Rummy where players pay a fixed entry fee which forms the Prize Pool.
The winner of every deal gets 0 points and the accumulated points are added to the opponent's scores.
A player is eliminated once their score reaches the maximum limit of points on the table eg: 101 Points or 201 Points.
The player who scores the least points in Pool Rummy wins the game.

Winnings = (Entry Fee) X (Number of Players) - RummyTu Fee

Let's say 5 players join a Pool Rummy game with ₹50 entry fee. The Prize Pool for this game will be ₹250 - RummyTu Fees. The winnings will be credited to the winner's RummyTu account after the deduction of RummyTu Fees.

  • Objective: Arrange all 13 cards in hand in sequences and/or sets.
  • Pool Rummy is played between 2 to 6 players with 2 packs of cards (including one printed joker per pack).
  • Each player joins a Pool Rummy table by paying a fixed entry fee which forms the Prize Pool.
  • A toss will decide which player will make the first move.
  • Each player is dealt a set of 13 cards randomly.
  • The first card from the pack is placed in the open deck indicating that the game has started.
  • The remaining cards are placed face-down in the closed deck slot.
  • A joker card is randomly selected at the beginning of each game.
  • One or more jokers can be used to complete sets and/or sequences.
  • Printed Joker: In case a printed joker is selected as a joker for a game, then players can also use the Ace card of any suit as a joker in their sets and/or sequences.
  • Auto Drop: A player is allowed to drop anytime during a Pool Rummy match by clicking on the 'Auto Drop' button. This player will then be dropped from subsequent deals and given the first drop score (i.e. 20 points in 101 Pool Rummy or 25 points in 201 Pool Rummy). If this player wishes to re-join the table, they can do so by clicking on 'I'm Back' Button. The points accumulated by this player when he/she was dropped, will be added to his/her score.
  • Elimination: In Pool Rummy, a player is eliminated from the table once his/her score reaches the maximum limit of points on a particular table. For example: In 101 Pool Rummy, a player will be eliminated once his score reaches 101 points.
  • Prize Split: In Pool Rummy, players can use the 'Split' option if they choose to split the prize money. The split option will work as a function of the number of drops remaining for a player. The number of drops remaining is defined as the number of times a player can drop a game and still remain in the game. The split option works only with mutual understanding among the players with whom the prize money will be split. In case any player denies the split then the option won’t work.
  • Each player takes turns picking/discarding a card from the closed/open deck to complete sets and/or sequences.
  • You can move a card to the finish slot to declare your sets and sequences.
  • To declare the player must show the cards in hand by grouping them in sets/sequences and clicking the 'Declare' button.
  • Compulsory: To finish the game, you must declare at least two sequences, one of which must be a pure sequence.
  • Caution: With two decks, you cannot use the same card twice in a set for instance 7 7 7 is not a valid set.


Major Difference - 101 Pool Rummy vs 201 Pool Rummy

Scores: In 101 Pool Rummy, a player gets eliminated once he or she reaches the maximum score points of 101.
In 201 Pool Rummy, a player gets eliminated once he or she reaches the maximum score points of 201.

Auto Drop Points: In 101 pool Rummy, the first drop is 20 points and the middle drop is 40 points.
In 201 Pool Rummy, the first drop is 25 and the middle drop is 50.


How is the Scoring Done in Pool Rummy?

Deciding the winner: The first player to finish after meeting the game objective wins.

  1. In a 6 Player table, the game continues except for the player who finished without meeting the objective. This player gets 80 points.
  2. The winner gets 0 points.
    • The loser gets points based on the cards in their hand.
    • Each card carries a certain number of points.
  3. J - 10 points

  6. A - 10 points
  7. All other numbered cards carry the same points as their face value for example 7 carries 7 points and 3 carries 3 points.
  8. The Jokers carry zero points.

The loser of the game gets points as follows:

If a player finishes the game without meeting the game objective, the player loses and gets 80 points.
If a player misses three consecutive turns, the player loses and gets the middle drop score, which is 40 points in 101 Pool and 50 points in 201 Pool.

Points Rummy

Points Rummy is a variant of the 13-card Indian Rummy where players play for points with a pre-decided rupee value.
The player who makes the first valid declaration wins the game with 0 points and wins all the cash based on the opponent's total points.

Winnings = (Sum of Opponent's Points) X (Point Value) - RummyTu Fee.

Let's say 5 players join a ₹2 Points Rummy game. Player 5 declares and the other four players lose with 10, 20, 30 and 40 points respectively. The winner's Cash Prize will be calculated as 2 x (10 + 20 + 30 + 40) = ₹200. This will be credited to the winner's RummyTu account after the deduction of the RummyTu Fee.

  • Objective: Arrange all 13 cards in-hand in sequences and/or sets.

How is the Scoring Done in Points Rummy?

Deciding the winner: The first player to finish after meeting the game objective wins. The winner gets 0 (zero) points.

  • If one or more player(s) drop in their first move, they get 20 points each and the game continues till a single player wins.
  • If one or more player(s) drop the game after their first move, they get 40 points each and the game continues till a single player wins.
  • If a player declares without meeting the game objective, he/she gets 80 points and the game continues till there is a winner.


What are the maximum points a player can get?

A player can get a maximum of 80 points. This means that irrespective of the player holding higher value cards, the points are capped at 80.
Anything below 80 is awarded.


How does the Drop option work?

  • Each player gets an option to drop the game in their turn, throughout the game duration.
  • To avail the Drop option, the player must not have picked a card from open/closed deck in that turn.
  • First Drop: If a player drops the game in their very first turn, he/she gets 20 points.
  • Middle Drop: If a player drops the game in a turn other than the first, he/she gets 40 points.
  • Special case: If a player misses 3 consecutive turns, he/she is dropped automatically from the game. This means that this player gets a middle drop score.

Deals Rummy

In Deals Rummy, players play with chips that are allocated at the beginning of the deal for a pre-decided number of deals.
One winner wins all the chips at the end of each deal.
At the end of a pre-decided number of deals, the player with the maximum number of chips is selected as the winner for the Rummy game.

Winnings = (Entry Fee) X (Number of Players) - RummyTu fees.

One chip = One point in the game

Let's say 6 players play a Deals Rummy game. Player 4 declares and the other five players lose with 10, 20, 30, 35 and 40 points respectively. The winner's chips will be calculated as 10 + 20 + 30 + 35 + 40 =135 chips.

  • At the end of a pre-decided number of deals, players are assigned ranks in the order of their chip count. The player with the highest chip count on a table will be assigned the highest rank. If there is a tie among players, players with a tied chip count will play a tiebreaker game to resolve ties.
  • Depending on the number of players that will be given prizes, players with higher chip counts will be given prizes.


How is the Scoring Done in Deals Rummy?

Deciding the winner: The first player to finish after meeting the game objective wins. The winner gets a sum of chips from all losing players depending on their score.


Points calculation for the player who loses:

Each card carries a certain number of points. The losing player gets points equal to his/her hand score which is computed as follows:

  1. J, Q, K, A of any suit carry 10 points each.
  2. All other numbered cards carry the same points as their face value e.g. 7 carries 7 points and 3 carries 3 points.
  3. Joker cards carry zero points.
  4. At the end of the game, a losing player's hand score is computed by adding points for cards that are not grouped as sets/sequences with the following exceptions.
    • If the losing player has no pure sequence, all cards are counted.
    • If the losing player does not have two sequences, but has a pure sequence, only the pure sequence is not counted.
  5. A player can get a maximum of 80 points. For instance, if a player's hand score is 85 he/she will still get only 80 points. But if a player's hand score is 75, he/she will get 75 points.
  6. Deal Show: If the losing player has not had his first turn before the opponent has made a valid declaration, then:
    • The losing player gets points equal to half of his/her hand score. For example, if the hand score for a losing player is 30 points, then the player gets 15 points as his score.
    • The minimum points a losing player can get in this case is 2 (for scores 2, 3, 4, & 5).
    • The maximum number of points for a losing player, in this case, is 40 (for scores of 80 or more).


How Does the Drop Option Work?

2-Player Games

  • There is no option for players to drop a deal in 2 player games.
  • If a player misses 3 consecutive turns, he/she is dropped automatically from the game with a score that is equal to the hand score but capped at 40 points.


More than 2 player games

  • Each player gets an option to drop the game in their turn, throughout the game duration.
  • To avail the Drop option, the player must not have picked a card from the open/closed deck in that turn.
  • First Drop: If a player drops the game in their very first turn, he/she gets 20 points.
  • Middle Drop: If a player drops the game in a turn other than the first, he/she gets 40 points.
  • Special case: If a player misses 3 consecutive turns, he/she is dropped automatically from the game. This means that this player gets a middle drop score.
  • Disconnection Scenario: On the game table, under 'Options' and 'Game Play Option', you can specify what should happen on the game table in case you get disconnected. You can choose to get dropped after 3 missed moves or you can remain on the game table till you get reconnected.
  • If a player misses 3 consecutive turns, he/she is dropped automatically from the game. This means that this player gets a middle drop score.


What are chips and how are chips allocated?

  • At the beginning of a deals Rummy game, each player is allocated a fixed number of chips
  • The chips are decided based on the number of deals to be played on that table as no. of players seated on the table X maximum score a player can get.

    E.g. If there are 6 deals to be played on a table, then 480 tournament chips are allocated to every player on that table at the beginning of the game.

Manner of Entry Fee deduction

For the purpose of entering into any cash game or tournament, a certain percentage of your Entry Fee will first be deducted by RummyTu from your “Winnings Balance” and the remaining percentage/amount of the Entry Fee will be subsequently deducted from “Promo Cash” and “Deposit Balance” respectively. Below is an illustration of the said deductions:

Let's say Mr. “X” wants to play a cash game with an Entry Fee of ₹ 80 and his wallet balance is as follows:

Deposit Balance ₹ 25
Promo Cash ₹ 40
Winnings Balance ₹ 100

Assuming that RummyTu first deducts 30% of the Entry Fee from the players Winings Balance and the remaining percentage/amount of the Entry Fee from the Promo Cash and Deposit Balance respectively, below is how the said deductions would apply:

  • 30% of ₹ 80 (Entry Fee) i.e. ₹ 24 will be first deducted from his Winnings Balance..
  • Subsequently, the remaining 70% of the amount of the Entry Fee i.e. ₹ 56 will be deducted from his Promo Cash & Deposit Balance respectively.

After applying the above illustrated deductions, the wallet balance of Mr. “X” would now be as follows:

Deposit Balance ₹ 9 (₹ 25-16)
Promo Cash ₹ 0 (₹ 40 - ₹ 40)
Winnings Balance ₹ 76 (₹ 100 - ₹ 24)

As stipulated in the second table above, 30% of the Entry Fee amount (i.e. ₹ 24) was first deducted from the Winnings Balance of Mr. “X” and the pending 70% of the Entry Fee (i.e. ₹ 56) was deducted from the Promo Cash and Deposit Balance of Mr. “X” respectively.

Note:

  • Insufficient Winnings Balance -
    If a player who desires to enter a game, does not have sufficient Winnings Balance, the Entry Fee amount will then be deducted from a player's Promo Cash and Deposit Balance.
  • Insufficient Promo Cash & Deposit Balance -
    After deducting the initial percentage of the Entry Fee amount from the players' Winnings Balance, if the player does not have sufficient Promo Cash and Deposit Balance, the remaining percentage of the Entry Fee amount will be deducted from the player's Winnings Balance again.
  • It is clarified that the percentage of deduction of Entry Fees from the players Winning Balance, Promo Cash and Deposit Balance is subject to change and RummyTu reserves the right to amend the percentage of deduction of Entry Fees from the players Winning Balance, Promo Cash and Deposit Balance at any time, with no prior notification.
