Gin Rummy Best Card Game 12+

I’ve had this game for awhile. Played a lot of games. You have created a game that is easy, not a lot of junk just gin, and it is the best! It never freezes, doesn’t mess up just clean game play. Fun fun fun. I’ve learned how to play pretty good using this game. Best of all I wasn’t trying to be a great player but it’s the game it makes you good. 😎. So you can see I am an avid fan. (Read below to see why you are the only gin game for me)

When you play lots of games you begin to notice things that I’m learning have to do with “AI.” Oh I got upset a few times. Earlier today I lost it & deleted the app. After going through the App Store for hours reading about all the gin rummy games I finally Downloaded a new gin game. It wasn’t great so I ended up deleting it. I did the download delete over & over for a few hours & decided I had messed up deleting this game. Somehow I didn’t see this game. I looked up recovering your game to my phone. Eh not easy but it is doable but a mess to do. I came back to App Store & started looking for this game again. Finally I saw the icon I had clicked on so many times — Yes! You are back on my phone. This is the best gin game ever. Thank you

The good news is that I have gotten better at playing this game because of the app. The VERY bad news is how lopsided the deals are. I agree with other reviewers....it is astounding how often the system has gin or knocks within being dealt the first 2 or 3 cards. I have played enough games to know this isn’t random....it is definitely tilted towards the house. The other thing that sticks out is how often the system gets dealt a ton of low cards and I get high cards (all random so no chance of melding). About every 4th day I seem to get dealt all the good cards and have the advantage. My stats are actually pretty good. Why? Because I stop playing when the system can’t lose....80% of the time. On the days/times I get good cards....I keep playing. Needs a LOT of work. Yes AI is better than me....but that isn’t the issue here....the system is tilted severely towards itself.

Updating this review. I paid close attention over the last couple of days exactly how cards were dealt. The dealer won at least 10 hands within 3 cards while I did it once. It especially seems to happen after it loses a couple of hands and feels like it needs to catch up. I don’t believe anyone would design a game to do that but how do you explain it.

It is the most frustrating app I have ever experienced.....so unbalanced it isn’t even funny.

I was torn whether to give this 3 or 4 stars. I really like the game play, the interface is user friendly. I spent the $5 to remove ads and I’m not mad about it.

What I don’t like is the fact that the game is not set up 50/50. I’m not sure what the point is but there are quite a few things I’ve noticed that I’m not going to list. The most notable, and irritating one, is that just today the computer has discarded the one card I needed for gin before calling gin or big gin against me in 15 of 30 games.

Sure a couple of those were knocks, not gin, but that just shows that the a.i. “predicts” your card with that much accuracy. If the game was more fair this would be an easy 4-5 stars.
