I played GinRummy using an app that the developer did not keep updated. With the last iOS update, that app would no longer work. And not all GinRummy apps include the Oklahoma variation, which has become my favorite.This app DOES, and the game plays “cleaner-looking,” if that makes any sense. I am really enjoying this app, and being able to add my name and my virtual opponent’s name is a nice touch.A comment to those reviewers who thought the game was “rigged” because the virtual opponent will frequently discard a card of the same value as the one YOU just discarded: When my father taught me this game, back in the 60s, he taught me that strategy. Unless you are collecting a run of cards of the same suit, if you throw down a 10, for instance, your opponent will, also (if he has one and doesn’t need it, himself). That gives him a better shot at you not picking it up from the discard pile. So the game isn’t rigged in favor of the virtual opponent. At least, not because of THAT! 😉

For the most part this is a relaxing fun game. Speed and graphics are good, not overwhelming but good. The computer opponent doesn’t often get special moves to make sure it wins as so many free games do. Lots of ads but many are not the half minute variety.I have noticed that if I have 2 of a kind and discard one, the next drawer from the deck is same face value. I can’t figure why it is rigged that way unless it is shifting deck sequence for future hands in this game. But it happens at least 7 of 10 times.

I've been playing for a week now and I noticed a pattern develop. It seems that when you have two pairs and you must discard one, the next draw is usually the same card series as what you discarded. Say you had 2 threes and 2 fours. You discard a four and the next draw is a four. Discard the three and the next card is a three. Now I know there is a chance factor but it happens probably half the time. So I know that chance is not involved. It makes the game very frustrating because after awhile you know what's going to happen and that no matter what choice you make it will most probably be wrong. I don't know if this is a flaw or purposefully done. Otherwise the game is ok. You can tell when you are going to lose because, you either get a terrible hand or you can't draw a winner. I've had 5 pairs multiple times and I can't draw a third match in 10 draws. The odds of that happening are staggering. It's very frustrating

First let me say that there's another review here stating the game is flawed because it tends to give you the cards you needed right after you discard because of giving up trying to get a meld. Anyone who has played Gin in RL knows that happens all the time in real Gin games.This game does however, have a very major flaw that makes it far too easy to beat. The AI almost invariably knocks the instant it has ten or less deadwood. As a result, if you simply never knock and consistently discard the highest deadwood, you will win far more hands that you lose, by undercutting the computer and/or going Gin. Sadly unrealistic. A good Gin game shouldn't be so easy to beat using the same strategy in every game. A good Gin game will switch playing strategies and styles to keep you on your toes. This one doesn't.Add to that that it can't ever find me a human player and it's a complete fail.
