2. Registering

We constantly advise our players to register their names as soon as the registration for a tourney opens.  Many players have the bad habit of procrastinating when it comes to registration. Eg: if the registration of a tourney opens by 2.00PM and ends by 4.00PM, we see players rushing in at the last minute for registration. This attitude is perplexing especially when they had a solid two hours for registration. Often in such cases, they return disappointed as the tables are full. This also displays the callous disregard for the rules and an easy-going laid back mentality that are a strict “NO” while playing online rummy. We always operate on first-come-first-serve basis, so if you miss the registration you only have yourself to blame.

These Secondary screens have already been incorporated into popular games like Batman Arkham City Armoured Edition WiiU, Marvel- the Avengers Battle for Earth WiiU. Similarly, 13 card Rummy game has also got a chance to be part of this console in the future. With this technology, you can use the secondary screen to take a closer look at the table and also drag and drop the cards on the table like a real player sitting at the table.

Open Source Gaming

Open source gaming is a concept of free gaming development kit for any game lovers instead of Gamers or gaming companies buying independent Software kits for developing and launching their game. For instance, Ouya is an Android-powered, upcoming video game console designed to bring the game directly into your television sets. Similarly, Rummy can also be brought into our television sets in 1080P HD with this technological advancement.

Augmented Reality

Augmented Reality is a technology for games that lets the player to interact with the surroundings in real-time. Eg: Droid Shooting, a simple shooter game which lets the player to interact with the game surroundings.
