VIP Games is home to the best international games, including Gin Rummy, Backgammon, Hearts, and many more.
GIN RUMMY RULES
Goal & Setup
• 2 players, standard 52-card deck, Aces are low (A=1).
• Each player gets 10 cards, rest go in a stock pile, top card turned face-up for the discard pile.
Form melds:
• Set = 3–4 cards of the same rank.
• Run = 3+ cards in the same suit in sequence.
• Keep deadwood (unmatched cards) as low as possible
• Cards score: A=1, 2-10 = face value, • J/Q/K=10.
Turn Flow & Ending a Hand
• On your turn: Draw (from stock or discard pile) → Discard one card.
• You may Knock if deadwood ≤ 10 points → discard, reveal hand, opponent can “lay off” onto your melds.
• Go Gin if you have no deadwood → opponent cannot lay off.
• Game ends when someone knocks or goes Gin, then scores are calculated.
Scoring & Winning
• Knocking: score = opponent’s deadwood − your deadwood.
• Gin: score = opponent’s deadwood + 25 bonus.
• Undercut: if opponent’s deadwood ≤ yours when you knock, they score difference + 25 bonus.
• First to 100 (or agreed score) wins the match.

I love your backgammon game using my Apple I Pad Pro but how can I use the app in the panoramic view mode, instead of the portrait view mode. Is there a way to change it in the settings or somewhere else? An update to this review..It now works in the panoramic mode when I play the Backgammon Game which is the best game I play and love on this app. Thanks for the wanted improvement. Keep up the good work.

Scam to get your money, not worth your time
mbutton123
I played this (against people of my own approximate level) for a few days and got up to level 18 quickly without having to buy anything. Now it will only pair me with levels 47 and above. Of course I immediately began losing because those players are far more advanced than me.In order to continue playing while losing continuously, I have to pay money for more coins, or wait for daily lotto-type games in hopes of collecting enough coins for a game every couple of days. If the game matched me against players of my own level, maybe I would consider this game worth my money, but I won’t pay to be matched with someone they know I can’t win against just so they can charge me more to play.

Hey mbutton123, we have made some recent changes and now the higher levels don't have access to the lower levels rooms. Also we can suggest you play in the Play with friends room where you can create games accessible for a certain level or play only with players you like. We would also like to note that you can play and progress without any purchases by taking daily bonuses, make our daily missions or participating in our Facebook mini games where we regularly give free chips. For more information, contact us at support@vipgames.com
Euchre

I love this game….i wish there was a way to tell if you are entering a table that plays 12 card euchre. I hate that game! I also am not a fan of, if you sit next to a player, I want to play with that player not someone else… the game sometimes switches your partner. There are some people I don’t like playing with, and I end up their partner!😡

So disappointed!
Jennlefore
I get nothing but glitches when playing. For example: playing hearts, I’m waiting for my turn and the game freezes and then all of a sudden it reloads the players and my time is almost gone. It happens all the time. Once today, I was choosing the cards to pass and the game froze and when it reloaded, the card choosing window stayed frozen on the screen so I couldn’t see what was played. Grrrrrr! So frustrating! Hearts is one of my most favorite games to play, spades is my number 1 love, but these VIP games have gone downhill and I think I’ll search for another app to play them. So disappointed!
