On 19 April, top gin rummy site Rummy Royal will hold a $15,000 Guaranteed gin rummy tournament.

An initial buy-in of $55 is all it takes to have a chance at winning the top prize, and Royal Rummy is holding a series of satellite tournaments leading up to the major one in which players can earn entries in the $15,000 tournament.

Both the main tournament and all the satellite tourneys will be Kalooki 51 games. Kalooki 51 is a popular form of rummy featuring two 52-card decks plus two Jokers, though Rummy Royal offers many more variants.

The $15,000 tournament will allow four additional rebuys before tournament level 6, so players who experience an initial run of poor luck may return. This makes winning prior satellite tournaments particularly useful, as multiple free rebuys may be won.

There are a couple of ways to win entry to the $15,000 tournament. One way is to play the $15 buy-in single table tourneys. These give players a 1 in 4 chance of winning a place in the big tournament.

Another option is the daily multi tourney games that are priced from $7 to $11 for buy-in with 3 rebuys available. Each of these tournaments offers two guaranteed entry vouchers. Also, every $55 in the prize pool will generate another entry voucher. Excess money will be distributed according to the regular payout structure.

Gin rummy is an intriguingly strategic card game that can be learnt very quickly. Royal Rummy is one of the best competitive online gin rummy sites online and gives players the opportunity to bet and earn real money on their skills.

New members receive $5 credited to their accounts immediately upon registration, so players can immediately experience the excitement of a real money gin rummy game when they join Royal Rummy.
