Money Multiplier

Week Of Winnings

Pool Rummy

101/201 - 2 Player/6 Player

Pool Rummy is a variant of the 13-card Indian Rummy where players pay a fixed entry fee which forms the Prize Pool.
The winner of every deal gets 0 points and the accumulated points are added to the opponent's scores.
A player is eliminated once their score reaches the maximum limit of points on the table eg: 101 Points or 201 Points.
The player who scores the least points in Pool Rummy wins the game.

Winnings = (Entry Fee) X (Number of Players) - RummyCircle Fee

Let's say 5 players join a Pool Rummy game with ₹50 entry fee. The Prize Pool for this game will be ₹250 - RummyCircle Fees. The winnings will be credited to the winner's RummyCircle account after the deduction of RummyCircle Fees.

Major Difference - 101 Pool Rummy vs 201 Pool Rummy

Scores: In 101 Pool Rummy, a player gets eliminated once he or she reaches the maximum score points of 101.
In 201 Pool Rummy, a player gets eliminated once he or she reaches the maximum score points of 201.

Auto Drop Points: In 101 pool Rummy, the first drop is 20 points and the middle drop is 40 points.
In 201 Pool Rummy, the first drop is 25 and the middle drop is 50.

How is the Scoring Done in Pool Rummy?

Deciding the winner: The first player to finish after meeting the game objective wins.

The loser of the game gets points as follows:

If a player finishes the game without meeting the game objective, the player loses and gets 80 points.
If a player misses three consecutive turns, the player loses and gets the middle drop score, which is 40 points in 101 Pool and 50 points in 201 Pool.

Points Rummy

Points Rummy is a variant of the 13-card Indian Rummy where players play for points with a pre-decided rupee value.
The player who makes the first valid declaration wins the game with 0 points and wins all the cash based on the opponent's total points.

Winnings = (Sum of Opponent's Points) X (Point Value) - RummyCircle Fee.

Let's say 5 players join a ₹2 Points Rummy game. Player 5 declares and the other four players lose with 10, 20, 30 and 40 points respectively. The winner's Cash Prize will be calculated as 2 x (10 + 20 + 30 + 40) = ₹200. This will be credited to the winner's RummyCircle account after the deduction of the RummyCircle Fee.

How is the Scoring Done in Points Rummy?

Deciding the winner: The first player to finish after meeting the game objective wins. The winner gets 0 (zero) points.

What are the maximum points a player can get?

A player can get a maximum of 80 points. This means that irrespective of the player holding higher value cards, the points are capped at 80.
Anything below 80 is awarded.

How does the Drop option work?

Deals Rummy

In Deals Rummy, players play with chips that are allocated at the beginning of the deal for a pre-decided number of deals.
One winner wins all the chips at the end of each deal.
At the end of a pre-decided number of deals, the player with the maximum number of chips is selected as the winner for the Rummy game.

Winnings = (Entry Fee) X (Number of Players) - RummyCircle fees.

One chip = One point in the game

Let's say 6 players play a Deals Rummy game. Player 4 declares and the other five players lose with 10, 20, 30, 35 and 40 points respectively. The winner's chips will be calculated as 10 + 20 + 30 + 35 + 40 =135 chips.

How is the Scoring Done in Deals Rummy?

Deciding the winner: The first player to finish after meeting the game objective wins. The winner gets a sum of chips from all losing players depending on their score.

Points calculation for the player who loses:
