Pool Rummy

Pool Rummy is a type of Indian Rummy where players put in a fixed amount of money to play, and that money becomes the prize for the winner. There are two types: 101 pool and 201 pool. If a player's score reaches 101 points (in 101 pool) or 201 points (in 201 pool), they're out.

How Score Is Calculated in Pool Rummy

In pool rummy, the person who wins a round doesn't get any points. But, if you lose, you get penalty points based on the number of cards left in your hand. Here's how the points work:

• Face cards like Kings (K), Queens (Q), Jacks (J), and Aces (A) are each worth 10 points.
• Numbered cards (2 to 10) are worth the same as their number. For instance, a 7 of any kind is 7 points.
• Jokers, whether printed or wild, have zero points.

Winner's Score:

• The person who organizes their cards into valid sets first wins.
• The winner gets zero points and takes chips from others based on their scores.

Loser's Score:

• Add up the points of the leftover cards for the losing player.
• For example, if you have cards like 7♥, A♠, and 6♣, add their values: 7 + 10 + 6 = 23 points.
• If a player's score reaches the maximum, they're out.

Winnings Calculation:

• For pool rummy, calculate winnings using: (Entry fee X Number of players) – RummyJax fee.
• If 5 players pay ₹300 each, the prize pool is ₹1500.
• The winner gets ₹1500 minus the RummyJax fee.
