Online rummy is a card based skill game and there are two online rummy games that use jokers.  These two games are Kalooki 40 and Kalooki 51.  Both of these games are available for players on the Rummy Royal website.  These games are played using two decks of cards and two jokers.  These games may have the similar names but there are some exciting differences between the two.

Both of the Kalooki games allow players to use jokers to complete melds or sets and players can also switch out the joker with the card it is being substituted for once it is on the table.  An example of this would be where you opponent laid down two nines and a joker.  If you have two nines you can lay these down and pick up the joker.  You do have to use the joker in the in the same turn that you pick it up so make sure that you have a run or set ready to use before you use this move.

The main thing you need to be aware of when using jokers and playing Kalooki is not to be left holding a joker in your hand when you opponent goes out.  If you are playing Kalooki 40 and you have a joker in your hand it will cost you 15 points.  If you are playing Kalooki 51 and you have a joker it will cost you 25 points.

If you haven’t played Kalooki before and you would like to try it out then you should visit the Rummy Royal website.  They have an excellent tutorial for both of the Kalooki games and you can even use the free play that is available on this online rummy website to practice your skills before playing for real money.

Rummy Royal also hold some great Kalooki tournaments on their website too and the prizes up for grabs in these are over $10,000.  You can check out their promotions page to see their latest tournaments and don’t forget there are usually freerolls and qualifiers for these tournaments on a daily basis on this website too.

Until next time,

Deal Those Cards,
