Grand Gin Rummy: Fun Card Game 17+

This is the best Gin app I could find and I tried a lot of them. The features that make this one outshine the competition are great graphics, a level up program with rewards that keeps you working toward goals, the ability to play against real people, and the chip system which provides actual consequence to the games.

The best part is the last item on the list - the chip system. How it works is you start off with a certain number of chips and you have to give some up to play. If you win, you get more chips then you started with. If you lose, the chips you paid to play are gone. If you lose all your chips, you have to buy more with real money to keep playing. Don’t worry, it’s cheap. But that real money element helps the games actually mean something. Here’s the best part though - you get a stash of chips once a day for free just by logging in. So if you never want to spend real money on the game, all you have to do is log in once a day for a few days and you’ll be back in action. It’s a system that keeps you coming back for more as compared to other apps where you just stack up meaningless points.

This is truly a solid app all around. If you like Gin, download it without hesitation!

Hi Jonnybcu33, thanks for your great review! We passed your feedback onto the team and wish you a fantastic stay at the Grand Gin Rummy Hotel!

This is a very fun app. I have one issue, that is big enough to make me keep leaving the game and deleting the app. I’ve tested this 3 times now and it cannot be a coincidence. When you first start using the app you have the free coins and it seems as though you are mostly winning and/or having some good game battles even if you don’t win. Once you, at some point, run out of coins and you purchase some or let the coins build per day, the games suddenly and dramatically change. You lose a lot more and quickly. If I had not gotten suspicious of this the first time I uploaded this app I am now. I deleted the app and tried again months later by re-uploading it and started fresh again as a new player. Same thing. I deleted it and actually forgot all about the game for about a year. I recently remembered it and re-loaded again with the idea to test and confirm. It followed the same path. For me to have an enriching game experience I have to delete the app once it gets to this point and start fresh as a new player. This prevents me from leveling up very far, but gives me a better game playing experience. After this 3rd try, I’m convinced your game is set up this way to purposely try and get you addicted and then get you to try and spend money. I realize that most games want you to spend money but to make the odds become noticeably different makes me feel
As though nothing about the skill needed to play is worth a darn. Very disappointed.

Hi Kristi1964 , thanks for your review. Like in a real game of Gin Rummy, the deck is shuffled before each game to ensure each player receives a completely random hand. Note, this doesn't mean each player will get an equal hand, though the cards have been shuffled before each game. However, any run of good or bad luck will eventually even itself out.
