Hi guys,

As far as i can see, you are all right regarding the past. But what about the future? Are the Rummy going to rock the skills games world ?

Do you believe Rummy will be big as poker ?

Well I don't usually hang around the Rummy section but I caught this in the new posts thread and decided to check it out.

I remember playing rummy as a kid and to be honest, I had no idea people play rummy for money. As for the top 3 online games, I'm guessing casino, poker, and bingo, and online bingo seems to be gaining in popularity. I'm even promoting a bingo site although it's just one banner but I figure what the heck maybe some old ladies are reading my poker lessons series ya never know

Rummy though, hmm, might be worth thinking about. One of the challenges is that the game is called so many different things, even though I didn't know Majong was one of them. I ran into that with an affiiate site which I hadn't done business for awhile and they had me signed up as an affiliate for Majong Time and I'm thinking what the hell is Majong anyway? So now I know Here in North America it's called rummy, gin, and gin rummy, and I presume it's all the same game not being a rummy expert by any means like you guys Now you're saying there are several other names for the game and/or variants and this can't be a good thing. That's the cool thing about poker, it's just plain called poker and even in some other languages it's still just poker, maybe with an accent here and there

Will Rummy ever be as big as poker you say? I can't see this ever happening. No disrespect to the game of rummy, but we're really talking a huge gap here. When NBC has competitive rummy on their network and you can always find a rummy show on TV somewhere and someone does a song called "Rummy Face" then maybe the game is on here

The Rummy market is much smaller, no question about that... but the players are out there, and when they play, they play A LOT.

I would not consider Online Rummy to be as big as Poker, and have doubts it will ever be....but it IS a viable market!

I own rummy.hu if someone is interested.

The market of rummy will grow once partygaming and others will have an own version.

I'm thinking of adding a rummy banner or two to my selection, already have a couple of casino and a couple of bingo ones, variety is the spice of life I guess or let's hope so

To be honest I still think of Baretta whenever I hear the word rummy which isn't very often - "you old rummy!"

RummyRoyal Player value is $350 across the board. This means that in some places in the world it is more than triple that number.

Don't lose this money train.
