Oklahoma Gin and how to win at this rummy game

Oklahoma Gin is a fantastic game that can be played online using the top services delivered by RummyRoyal, the greatest online rummy website that has many years of experience in the online rummy field. Oklahoma Gin is a variation of Gin Rummy that has managed to gain a great popularity in all over the world.

First of all, you must know that Oklahoma Gin is a game that can be played online by 2-4 players using one single deck of cards without Jokers (each player receives 7 or 10 cards).

The objective of an Oklahoma Gin game is to meld the big majority of the cards in hand and to have a low deadwood count (lower than 10). The deadwood count=the cards that can’t be melded.
We must mention that the maximum deadwood count that a player needs in order to knock is determined by the first cards.

In Oklahoma Gin a player must do two moves:
1. Draw a card from the deck.
2. Discard a card at the end of the turn into the discard pile.

Between these two moves, a player can lay down valid melds into the melding zone.

If you don’t know what a meld means then we must inform you that this is represented by a set or a run (set-3 or more cards from the same rank; run-3 or more consecutive cards from the same suite).

If you never played rummy until now, you must know that the cards have the following values:

Royal cards: 10 points;
Ace: 1 point;
The rest of the cards have the value of the face numbers.

The game ends when a player use one of these methods: Gin, Knock and Undercut.

Gin: form valid melds from all the cards in hand and lay them down into the melding zone.
Knock: a player lays down valid melds and it has a deadwood count equal or lower than 10.
Undercut: add cards to knockers meld and lower the deadwood count.
