Ratings and reviews

I really enjoy this gin rummy app. It took me a little while to start consistently beating the hard AI, but now I find it a little too easy and predictable. It tends to knock rather than go for gin, so if you hold low cards you can almost always undercut. My requests for the developer are: 1. ability to add a friend and play them online, and 2. new AIs that are more difficult and play different strategies.

A nearly perfect presentation of Gin Rummy. It can be improved. I play Hollywood Gin and it seems that the AI always knocks immediately when the Deadwood score is 10 or less. However, there are times when it is better not to knock, and instead wait for Gin or Big Gin (for example, with a Deadwood score of 0, 1, or 2 when deep in the round). I take advantage of this when I'm playing, and therefore it seems like I win more often than I should. Yes, the AI could be smarter!

Choose banner to not get the pop-up ads is a huge plus. I play at the hardest level Oklahoma gin and only thing I wish is that the game score would end at 150 instead of 100 to allow more playing time. Game is fair, AI and I seem to win and lose at about the same rate, so I have not seen issues with game being "stacked#; perhaps our logic is similar. If game score ended at 150 I'd rate 5-star.
