Gin Rummy Best Card Game Reviews

Well I actually got GinRummyBestCardGame some time ago and have played it on occasion until recently, and have been playing this daily. I can’t believe how GinRummyBestCardGame has such great reviews! It’s completely one sided and the house almost always wins! And on the rare occasion you do win the points you receive compared to the house is beyond ridiculous! Seriously it’s comical! If you win you’ll get 3-11 points when the house gets 65+ points! I can’t tell you how many hands I’ve played and after literally me picking up one card the house has Gin! ONE CARD?!?! I’ve been playing gin for a long time and consider myself a decent player. GinRummyBestCardGame is seriously a joke. Do yourself a favor and don’t waste your time downloading it! Find an app that there’s a somewhat level playing field.

If I could rate this game at 0, I would. There are many duplicate cards, the A.I seems to get Gin after 1 round many times if you out smart it a few times in a row, this game is annoying as you can NEVER maintain good statistics because the A.I HAS to win. You can’t go on a winning streak without it doing this. The only way this game is enjoyable is by outsmarting the A.I, which is pretty hard to do because they will throw 7 Kings but still manage to have 4🤦🏼‍♀️ and screw the producers of this game for even making something like this. This game shouldn’t be available any longer. This needs to be taken off and either never put back on, or fix your MAJOR flaws. PS: i’ve created games like this before and you don’t “accidentally” create something like this. this was designed to win consistently due to the deck basically being loaded. Thanks.

Enjoy the game and can only give 1 instead of 5 stars. I paid $4.99 to remove the ads; while they are not on my iPad, they have not been removed on my iPhone. I have deleted and reinstalled GinRummyBestCardGame . If you have to pay $4.99 per device (shame on me if I missed this stipulation), then I rate with 0 stars. Am I missing something? Would like to contact these folks, I cannot see where I can do so. They don’t seem to read these reviews and haven’t contacted me to explain. Also don’t understand why my review is posted by “HandiGal” as this is not my handle. This game is a complete scam. I emailed these folks asking to explain why you have to pay $4.99 for no ads PER DEVICE!!! Also, they reuse cards in every game. For example, you will see 7 kings played in one game. This has happened every single time; I have stopped keeping track of duplicate cards. DO NOT USE GinRummyBestCardGame, EVEN IF YOU USE THE FREE VERSION. I have never rated an app, but felt the need to do so with GinRummyBestCardGame.

If you play GinRummyBestCardGame a lot, you will notice a lot of cheating and glitches happen in the program, especially when playing against the iPhone player/program.
The cards are not shuffled evenly, one player invariably gets mostly high cards and the other player mostly low cards which leads to an almost immediate knock, and then it switches players after a while of this. This happens so much more frequently than it does in real play with real cards.
The iPhone player/program always knows your cards and what cards are coming so it can cheat. The iPhone player almost gets gin first, almost always right when you are about to get gin and your last needed card is up; this happens so often it must obviously be a glitch.
These obvious cheats and glitches become predictable and the fun of the game is lost.

If you prefer to play what I call knock rummy over gin rummy, by all means download. You will rarely get gin because the bot knocks almost every time. Miraculously the bot almost always has the random card you need. I have even had several games where the bot never even allows me to draw one card, as it knocks after the first draw. I had been playing gin rummy with live opponents, but grew tired of all the extra comments and interactions between players as well as sometimes they would be very slow players and it would take a long time to get through a game. However, I am going back to that game because at least I get to play. PS the ads after every hand gets old. I think the bot knocks early to force you to watch ads, since they are after every hand. When you play to 100 and they are knocking it typically takes several hands to get to 100.

The same cards are used multiple times, the computer picks up a discarded card and then throws it down again, the last game that I played the computer had a gin and had 3 2s played and I had the other one but mine was not laid on the computer’s 3 2s laid down so the computer got 2 more points than it should have! This is why I don’t usually play card games because you can’t win against the computer! I play more of the puzzle type games so it’s about my ability to play! Also, you need to silence your ads, there’s plenty of other games that do! As a matter of fact, the solitaire cash game I play doesn’t even have ads unless I want extra points! Maybe try that!

If you really enjoy the game of Gin Rummy, and you don’t care about the actual gameplay and actual rules, this is GinRummyBestCardGame for you. I have seen other posters mention that the game cheats. That is quite the understatement. I have never had a big gin, I have only gone gin maybe three times since I’ve been playing this game for the past few months. I am constantly undercut, and I have never undercut the other player. This is not an equally balanced game. However, the design and execution of the game are well done, which is why I said if you don’t care about the scoring or whether or not you win, and just want to practice the mechanics, this is not a bad one to play.

The good news is that I have gotten better at playing this game because of GinRummyBestCardGame . The VERY bad news is how lopsided the deals are. I agree with other reviewers....it is astounding how often the system has gin or knocks within being dealt the first 2 or 3 cards. I have played enough games to know this isn’t random....it is definitely tilted towards the house. The other thing that sticks out is how often the system gets dealt a ton of low cards and I get high cards (all random so no chance of melding). About every 4th day I seem to get dealt all the good cards and have the advantage. My stats are actually pretty good. Why? Because I stop playing when the system can’t lose....80% of the time. On the days/times I get good cards....I keep playing. Needs a LOT of work. Yes AI is better than me....but that isn’t the issue here....the system is tilted severely towards itself.

Updating this review. I paid close attention over the last couple of days exactly how cards were dealt. The dealer won at least 10 hands within 3 cards while I did it once. It especially seems to happen after it loses a couple of hands and feels like it needs to catch up. I don’t believe anyone would design a game to do that but how do you explain it.

It is the most frustrating app I have ever experienced.....so unbalanced it isn’t even funny.

You are playing a computer who knows what you are holding. The computer also controls what you draw. If the computer needs a card it simply gives the card to you and you discard it. I don’t believe you draw random cards. The computer lets you win to keep it interesting,,,but knowing that takes the thrill out of winning. For awhile it would just give itself great hands and go down low every time after a draw or two. Now the games are longer but somehow the computer always goes out or down with the discard which would put you out. Too many time to be coincidental. Why these types of games can’t be genuinely random (cards or dice) I don’t understand. But they aren’t.

I can handle the unbalanced dealing of cards, with the odds very much slanted in favor of the house, which really is an honest issue. I get very angry when they sponsor pop-ups that actually lie to us saying that our device will not work anymore unless we clean it because it is full. It seems to be from the game as there is no heading. I have complained about this before, but they have yet to even acknowledge my complaint, much less address it. Until about a year ago, I really enjoyed this game and I believed it was the best, but then the ads that lie and try to intimidate you into using something you know nothing about began. There is no way this can be true in my situation… It seems the ad is trying to gain access to your device under false pretenses. PLAYER BEWARE!

Also, the ads often use more time than the play. Often I just move on to another game or version.

I enjoy the game but it seems that every time you hit knock no matter if you only played 2 or 3 card’s to get to knock or 10 or more cards 90% of the time you get undercut. I don’t know how many times in the short time I played I knocked with 1 point left and I still got under cut. It’s to the point you don’t want to knock because you will get undercut but if you don’t it will call gin on you which either way you lose that hand. As far as you calling gin when you get to they may have anywhere between 1 and 5 points in hand. I played around 20 games so far and won 4. I don’t mind not winning much I expect not to it’s just that way with these games are but getting undercut when you knock almost most of the time is a little ridiculous.

Great game but disappointed to read that the level of play of the computer automatically adjusts to my level of play. That means I can never know whether I’m getting better or worse, and I won’t know when and how much the computer is intentionally overlooking opportunities and letting me win. I would love it if the developers would allow me to opt out of the self adjusting feature and instead select computer opponents with standard levels of play so that I can measure my progress. Notwithstanding the self adjusting features I have enjoyed the game for many hours. Very well done otherwise.

I never played Gin rummy before and the game had a quick learning curve. The gameplay is fast. I could be wrong but I think the computer catches on the better you get. I’ll win a few hands and then lose a few hands. I’ve gotten my share of big Gins, undercuts, and regular Gins and vice versa. The game force closes a lot but opens up quickly right back to the game at hand. Some of the adds can’t be exited out of so you have to close GinRummyBestCardGame and restart it sometimes, but again it open back up to the game at hand pretty quickly. The better I get the tougher the game gets.

I was torn whether to give this 3 or 4 stars. I really like the game play, the interface is user friendly. I spent the $5 to remove ads and I’m not mad about it.

What I don’t like is the fact that the game is not set up 50/50. I’m not sure what the point is but there are quite a few things I’ve noticed that I’m not going to list. The most notable, and irritating one, is that just today the computer has discarded the one card I needed for gin before calling gin or big gin against me in 15 of 30 games.

Sure a couple of those were knocks, not gin, but that just shows that the a.i. “predicts” your card with that much accuracy. If the game was more fair this would be an easy 4-5 stars.

…it cheats when it wants to to beat you. I’ve played this game with real cards and real people long enough to know when I’m being taken advantage of. Nobody I play in the real world can pull off what this game is doing to you when you play it. So if you don’t mind a game that cheats to beat you and you just need a time killer to keep your skills up, this is the game for you. Game play is really good, but you can tell who’s gonna win every game before it starts. I can only give this game a 4 because of that reason.

Yes, this version is hard to beat, it’s AI after all. Unless you’re a memory expert, it definitely has the upper hand. I’ll admit that it sometimes seems to be cheating, or even taunting you with plays that look that way; I’m certainly not inside the head of the developers. If your looking to play a game to just relax and have fun it may not be for you. However, if you want to improve your gin game, I highly recommend it. If you play it for a while, just like a human opponent, you can get a feel for the strategy it uses and definitely compete.

I had this game for a while, it's pretty good. If you want to play a nice and simple game of Gin Rummy, then this is the game you'd (or at least I would) want. I enjoy that you can see your own statistics and can change the color of the background, card backs, and faces [although I stuck with the original the whole 806 hands (154 games) I played]. The adds are short compared to other games and are not as often. I recommend this game if you want an interesting card game. Thank you for this game.

I love playing cards and rarely have someone around with which to play. I’ve always enjoyed Gin (especially when I win) this game allows me to sharpen my skills without losing match sticks. The only thing I might change is when I tap a card to discard I would like it if it would pop up so I could see it above the other cards a bit and give me a one chance to change my mind. However, this way you learn to be more careful. A fun way to pass the time. I highly recommend.

The description states this is 100% ad free, free play. This is false. After each hand you have to wait for an ad. You can opt to pay $4.99 for the the game to truly be ad free. Pay up front for the game, it’s worth it! It’s a great game, yet the ads are 100% annoying!! I am happy to pay for an app knowing the developers need to get paid for the work they do. Put the cost up front or do a 3 game limit before giving option to keep playing with ads or pay $4.99. That would be much better. I would pay up front.

Love this game. Some of the ads are a little annoying but I actually clicked on a couple of the ads and found some other games and exercise apps that I like. I just wish GinRummyBestCardGame would allow players the option to let aces “wrap”. Example, with GinRummyBestCardGame aces can only be used as ones. I’ve played gin rummy games online that let you use aces as ones and also in combination with queens and kings. Maybe the designer can add this option. If so, GinRummyBestCardGame would be perfect.
