The most sophisticated way to play Gin Rummy online (and also the most popular when playing offline for real money). Like MatchPlay these games are played out to several hands of cards. Before you start the game, you agree with your opponent how much money to stake per-point difference between your score and your opponents score at the end of the game.

You also agree how much money each players brings to the table and places at risk. This is called the "Buy In". You then play the game in order to win as much of your opponent's BuyIn as possible. The game ends and a winner is declared when one player accumulates 100 game points. All or part of the loser's BuyIn is then passed to the winner based on the scoring calculations.

How to Win your Game

Every hand of cards is scored exactly like MatchPlay games. Game points are awarded based on the difference between the players' deadwood points on each hand. An additional 25 game points are awarded as a "Line Bonus" to the winner of each hand. 100 game points are awarded to the winner who first accumulates 100 game points or more.
