Classic Indian Rummy

• Classic Indian Rummy is a card game which is
  slightly different than the Original Rummy game.
• Classic Indian Rummy is otherwise called as
  Paplu.
• It is also believed that Indian Rummy is evolved
  from a game that was played in South Asia, quite
  similar to that of todays Indian Rummy called
  Celebes Rummy or Rhuk.
• It is usually considered as a cross between Rummy
  500 and Gin Rummy.
• Since rummy has been declared as a game of skill,
  so it has been excluded from the laws that
  prohibits betting and gambling.
• Indian classic rummy is played with 13 cards with
  or without a joker (wild card).
• The procedure to play the game of Classic Indian
  Rummy has been described in the next slide.

How to Start the Game?

• After Signing into the PokaBunga account, click
  on the Play Rummy tab, and then either click
  on the Fun Games or go for the Cash Games and
  then choose any of the game from the Lobby
• In lobby you could see three more options
  Points, Pools Best of n.
• Lets start with the Points Game at first.
• POINTS GAME
• Usually played with minimum number of 2 players
  and maximum number of 6 players.
• Points Rummy is a Deal to Deal settlement kind
  of game, which means players have the freedom to
  join and leave the game between the deals.
• Can be played with or without a Joker (wild
  card), which is randomly selected from the closed
  deck and placed under the closed deck.
• N.B. If the printed joker gets selected as the
  wild card joker, then Ace with all suits can be
  treated as the wild Card Joker for that deal.
• PTO

• If a player gets disconnected in the middle of
  the game, the system waits for 45sec for him to
  get connected, this would happen for 2 times, but
  still if the player is not able to connect, then
  his/her hand will be dropped, which is treated as
  the middle drop.
• Points for middle drop is (40) and Points for
  Normal Drop before starting the game play (20).
• Once a Player finishes the game and declares the
  show, the opponent player is also asked to
  declare his/her show by arranging the cards in
  perfect melds that would lower the points. The
  points of the player who lost the game multiplied
  with the point value of the table would be
  deducted from the loosing player.
• Eg If a player has 32 points and the point of
  the table is 15, then an amount of Rs 480 would
  be deducted from the players account.
• The winning Player would win the amount, ie
  (Total amount of the opponent players - Rake
  amount)

Rules For Playing the Game

• Before the game begins, the system makes a toss
  with the cards and as per the toss the player
  with the highest value of card gets the chance to
  play at first.

7

• After the dealing of the cards, the system ask
  the players to sort their cards in to meld,
  though it is not mandatory but sorting of cards
  into meld makes the game a bit easier.

8

• The game play makes an anti-clock wise movement,
  and every player gets a time of 45 seconds
  additional time of 15 seconds to make his/her
  move.
• Within these 60 seconds the player have to pick
  up a card either from the discarded cards (open
  deck) or from the closed deck and have to discard
  a card from his cards.
• The possible melds that a player can make to
  declare the show are as follows
• Pure Meld Cards having same suits and
  consecutive rankings.
• For Eg
• Triplets Cards having different suits but same
  rankings.
• For Eg

9

• Impure Meld This meld consists of a wild card
  (Joker card). Let us assume the Joker card to be
  the Spade 3.
• Then we can consider all the cards having the
  same rank but different suits to be the Joker
  Card. For Eg
• Including the
• Spade 3 Card.
• Those cards can be used in the Pure Meld and
  Triplets to complete the Meld.
• For Eg

10

• Or For Eg
• PokaBunga follows a liberal rule for melding of
  cards, ie. First a Pure Meld is must to start
  the use of the Wild Cards. And the 2nd meld
  should also be in the form of Pure Meld , but
  here the players have the liberty to use the
  wildcard if they want. For Eg
• After those melds the player could make triplets
  or use wildcards to make triplets, though having
  a triplet is not mandatory to declare the show.

11

• An example of melding the cards as done by a
  player. A pure meld and an impure meld is
  present, and the rest cards are not in a meld
  thus the total points in this case would be 58.

12

• This image shows the way the card has been
  selected for discarding. And an option Finish
  present at the bottom that allows the player to
  declare the show. To declare the show a player
  has to meld the cards and select a card that
  he/she wants to discard, but without clicking on
  Discard the players have to click on Finish
  that automatically discards the selected card and
  ask for the players permission to declare the
  show.

13

• The Points here in this case after making and
  remaking melds is 26.

14

• The final Score, after a player declares the
  show. Here the total amount won by the winner is
  (2426)-Rake amount.
