Rummy Royal has the very popular version of rummy 500 available on their website for players to enjoy.  The rummy 500 game is a very fast game and not like the other variations of the game that many players are used to.  This variation of rummy is very easy to play and it offers a great deal of excitement to players.

The round ends when one player has no cards left.  The aim of the game is to collect as many points as possible by melding sets of cards.  The rules are slightly different to other online rummy games but it is great fun.  It is not unheard of to see a rummy 500 player with 20 cards in their hands and this is often considered to be a good move too.  Something you definitely wouldn’t hear of in Kalooki.

In rummy 500 a player can pick up any number of cards that he wants from the discard pile to use a card that may have been previously discarded.  It is very hard to explain but if you check out the Rummy Royal website you can see a full interactive tutorial that will explain it a lot better than I can.

Rummy 500 was introduced to the Rummy Royal website back in July 2009 and it has proved to be very popular among players.  It was first introduced into the fun mode section of the website but within days it had moved into the real mode section.

If you fancy trying your skills at this variation of the rummy card game then why not log onto the Rummy Royal website now and see just how much fun this game can be.

Until next time,

Rummy 500 is a great variation of the traditional rummy card game and with more and more websites now offering players a way to play this game online it makes a lot of sense to post on how to win at Rummy 500.  Listed below are my tips to winning this very enjoyable online rummy game.

The first thing I do when playing this online rummy variation is to get cards in my hand.  Most players do the opposite of this and try to get rid of their cards are quickly as possible.  This actually leads to your opponent having to subtract points from their hand and you not having a lot of points in your hand either.  If you follow my tips and try to get as many cards in your hand as you can then you will have more chances to get more points and you might even be the person in the game who can pick up what your opponent discards and actually play with it.

My second tip for winning Rummy 500 is to put down half of your pairs.  Most people will for example get 2 queens and then hold on to them hoping that they will be able to get another and then put them down.  I like to discard one of them and this way my opponent will think that I don’t have the other and they will discard another one.  I can then pick it up and play with it.  Even if they don’t put down a queen it can still be an important move because the cards can pile up and when you finally do get that 3rd card you can play them and you will have a bunch of other cards that can give you some more points.

My final winning tip is to discard your higher cards if you think that our opponent is going to go out before you.  This way if they do go out first you will lose the least amount of points you possibly can.

That’s my tips for winning at Rummy 500.  Do you have any more that you would like to share?

Until next time,
