Online Rummy dominates skill gaming market

It has been discussed in length about the legality of online rummy in India. The main question plaguing the minds of its detractors for years is whether online rummy is a game of skill or luck. If luck were a main factor in determining the outcome of the game, then each game and tournament will have a different winner. Nobody has the lady luck dancing in their favor always!

Online Rummy

Online Rummy – Game of Skill or Chance

The truth is online rummy is purely a game of skill where luck or element of chance plays a very minimal role. The problem, however, is this minimal role has been exaggerated way beyond its reach to paint a negative picture that rummy game is luck oriented. It is because the game is heavily reliant on skills, the honorable Supreme Court of India has declared online rummy as legal. It’s not a crime to play rummy online for cash. Of course, certain states have stringent gaming laws that prohibit online rummy (Telangana, Assam, Odisha).

However, efforts are on from the rummy operators in these zones to seek validity for the game citing the Supreme Court judgment and a widespread consensus among the gaming enthusiasts that rummy is a game of skill. So, if you are someone who loves the rummy game in its physical form, you can ignore preposterous, ill-informed opinions about online rummy and get on the online zone. We can trust, you will be in for a pleasant surprise with the level of competition and the astounding rewards that are up for grabs.  The huge popularity of Online rummy beggars the questions, what’s in a rummy game that makes it more attractive than the multitude of card games that are available in the market?

Huge Popularity – real or made-up?

If you look at the set up behind online rummy, then you will begin to understand the craze for online rummy.

First of all rummy game has been part and parcel of the Indian milieu for centuries. It’s certainly not a foreign game which is enjoying a run here. Think of games such as Pokemon go, PubG, clash of clans and so many games. The problem with those games apart from being foreign in origin is that the novelty factor wears off quickly. These games enjoy a  grand run during their heydays but once the novelty dries off, people get disillusioned with the game and scout for the next entertaining game. Whereas rummy is a game that is deeply rooted in Indian culture and has been played across various generations. It is because it is quintessentially an Indian game, the novelty and freshness of the game have remained despite the incursion of several card games like poker from the west.

Secondly, the rules of the games are pretty simple. Even a novice can pick up rummy rules quickly in a matter of day or two. And there are many sites available in the market, which has extensive tutorials on rummy rules and how to play rummy, thereby making the learning process simple. A player who is already knowledgeable in rummy just needs to spend a day or two in getting accustomed to the online set-up and master rummy strategies.

Finally, online Rummy is lucrative compared to other games. From a humongous welcome bonus to rummy tournaments running throughout the day to a wide range of rummy games and rummy variants available under all stakes, the opportunity to win big are aplenty. The prize money these days is nothing when compared to other games. The risk is minimal when compared to other games.

Highly Competitive Online Rummy Industry

The amount of competition around from the many online rummy sites means it is the players market as operators are chasing players with enticing offers. Because of the heavy competition, the prizes have gone insanely up.

Other card games may be more popular across several countries, still, they have to do a lot of catch-up when it comes to competing with rummy. In terms of reach and popularity, they will always be a younger sibling to rummy.

When deciding to play rummy online, it’s important to look at various parameters. From a players point of view, he/she might want to opt a site with a huge welcome bonus, high-guarantee tournaments, and safe deposit and withdrawal methods.

Solitaire gets inducted into World Video Game Hall of Fame

The solitaire game which was one card game which most of us would have played at some point of time in our lives has been inducted into the Strong Museum of Play’s World Video Game Hall of Fame. Solitaire game was inducted along with other games such as Nintendo’s Super Mario Kart racing game, violent Mortal Combat game, and colossal cave adventure. Similar to Solitaire, Mortal Kombat and Super Mario Kart had a tremendous impact in their respective categories and have spawned a generation of games.

The World Video game hall of fame was established in the year 2015 to honor games which enjoyed popularity over a considerable period and which exerted considerable influence in the video game industry.

For the class of 2019, they received a nomination from more than 100 countries and they narrowed the finalists to the list of twelve. Eventually, four were given the honor among which solitaire finds a place.

Don’t we all get a little nostalgic about this game? How many times the game has come to our rescue when we ever we feel bored? The game has always been with us, during our lunchtime, bored long drawn out afternoons in our work where we find nothing interesting. In a way, I feel that the game is like re-energizer. It’s the way it has worked out for me. I’ve always relied on a game of solitaire to get my focus back on track if my attention drifts out of the plane. Who could forget the iconic animation where all the cards jumping out of their stacks and bounce away after we clubbed the cards into a group. The success of solitaire paved the way for other card games like rummy, poker, and teen Patti to forage into the online sphere.

Solitaire – An experiment

Solitaire game was first bundled along with Windows 3.0 as a way for the users to get used to the mouse, which was fairly new those days. The game honed clicking, double-clicking, drag-and-drop and other skills required to operate the mouse. Since its inception then it has been distributed over a billion computers. Microsoft claims that some 35 billion solitaire hands are dealt each year. Game experts observe that Solitaire was one of the earliest success stories in the gaming community and its success helped pave the way for the casual gaming community. It seems like the game finally got its due with this honor.

The single player card game was developed by Wes Cherry during his time as an intern at Microsoft. Says Cherry “I came up with the idea to write Solitaire for Windows out of boredom, really. There weren’t many games right at the time, so we had to make them”. Wes Cherry didn’t expect such a mind-blowing reception for his lazy creation. And what’s more amusing is that he wasn’t paid for his creation.

It’s hard to imagine an online game occupying more screen time than Solitaire. In fact, the game was bundled up with every windows version till Windows 7 after which Microsoft started to include a few more generic card games. You could still see people play solitaire to assassinate free time. We hope the hall of fame status accorded to Solitaire has cemented its legacy and the future generation would continue to enjoy the game. Seeing Indians’ fascination for card games like 13 card rummy and poker, we could envision any of these Indian card games making it into the grandest stage of them all in the near future.

6 reasons for the everlasting appeal of Card gaming

Card Gaming has been around for several centuries. Though the origin of card games is debatable, there is a consensus among card gaming audience that it has its roots in the far east. From the far east, the game came to the west through trade and the game has been entirely refurbished in tune with the western customs. It was around the 14th century French solidified the card game with the 52 decks and classifying the cards into four suits with 13 cards each – Spade, Hearts, Diamond, and Clubs.

Though various cultures in the world continue to follow their method of classification, this practice of using 52 card deck for card gaming is universal today. In most of the card games which are popular today like 13 card Rummy, Poker, and others, a standard 52 deck is used for playing. For centuries now, family, friends, and acquaintances have convened around bars, homes, clubs, and even while traveling for a quick card game or two.

The appeal of Card gaming

Despite the technological revolution that brought many adventurous, over-the-top and flamboyant games right at our living desk, the craziness for card games has not mellowed down. The old game which comes close to card games is the board games, and they continue to have a dedicated section of the audience. But card games outscore board games on several parameters. Card gaming is often viewed as a symbol of masculinity. Let’s delve into some of the reasons why card gaming continues to remain popular:

1. Portability

Rather than having to carry around a game board everywhere, card games are very much portable. In board games, the chances of missing pieces are very high. Whereas playing cards are very much compact, they can fit right into your pocket or any small space which you can afford. It is because of this reason card games were historically preferred by sailors, seafarers, adventurers of all kinds, and even soldiers. They can quickly be snuck in some part of your vehicles.

2. Speed

Board games often require a lengthy set-up process, and the game can be quite long. Because of this, it is tough to play the game at times where we do not find sufficient time. Also, taking a break while playing board games can make the game confusing whereas, in the case of card games, you need minimal set-up and the play time is very low when compared to board games. You also get a natural break at the end of the deal/round.

  1. Adaptability

One of the primary reasons card gaming was able to thrive to this day was it was easily adaptable with time. As mentioned, different cultures had different ways of playing card games, and in most cases, it was passed on through word-of-mouth than through any other means. With time, the game accommodated a lot of external influence through contact with outside culture and kept evolving. The fact that card games had such a smooth transitioning into the online sphere should indicate how easily adaptable and informal it had been. Had it been so rigid and formal like so many old games, it would have met a similar end.

  1. Balance of Chance and Skill

Card gaming pundit David Parlett remarked that card gaming is unique because it’s not entirely chance based like dice games nor highly cerebral like chess, it is a unique combination of skill and chance which adds thrill to this game. No matter whether you play rummy online or a poker game like Texas Holdem or Pot Limit Omaha, it is this unique combination of chance and skill which plays a  vital role in the game.

  1. Social Connection

Card games facilitate social interaction. When you want to say something you can say it. Especially when the gamers are men, jokes, burns, and insults fly throughout the game and thus a sense of camaraderie is established. Other adrenaline-pumping activities like hunting or trekking require your utmost attention and care, whereas card games give you that luxury of bonding with fellow gamers. The conversational gambits, hand gestures, hard talk and euphoria and flamboyance exhibited at the time of winning are all what which lends an edge to card games over other games.

  1. Element of Mystery

Unlike board games where you get to know the game status then and there with the roll of the dice, in card games, there is an element of mystery throughout the game. You get to see nothing more than the back of cards your opponents are holding. You do not know who’s going to win until the winner declares himself. The mystery is unraveled all of a sudden, and in most cases, the unexpected one wins. It could be better summed up as a paradox situation. It is because of this enigma card games continue to better board games and remains as a favorite amusement.
