As some of you might be aware that Games24X7 stopped offering Rummy for Cash in the state of Tamil Nadu following a Madras High Court decision restricting Rummy for cash. A writ petition that was filed by Mahalakshmi Cultural Association in the Madras High Court to restrain the police from interfering with the activities of the petitioner including playing of 13 card rummy with or without stakes. The learned single judge, in his judgment dated 4thNovember 2011 held that Rummy being a game of skill can be legally played for stakes by the members and guests in the writ petitioner’s association.
The police challenged this order of the learned single judge in Writ Appeal No. 2287 of 2011. A division bench of the Madras High Court finally decided the Writ Appeal on 22nd March 2012 where they accepted the contentions of the police and stopped the Club from allowing its members and guests to play Rummy with stakes.
However, Mahalakshmi Cultural Association challenged this decision of the Madras High Court in the Honorable Supreme Court. At the initial hearing on 11th May 2012, the Honorable Supreme Court granted interim relief to the petitioners by staying the observation of the Division Bench which prohibited the petitioner from offering Rummy.
The current legal position is that judicial pronouncement of the Madras High Court against Rummy for stakes has been stayed by the Supreme Court and it is open for the petitioner to allow its members and guests to play 13 cards Rummy with stakes for profit and gain.
Following which, we at Games24X7.com are extremely thrilled to welcome back our players from Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry to play rummy for cash.
We will keep our players informed about the progress of the court’s proceedings regarding this case and how it affects our players. As of now, we are delighted to welcome back all our players from Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry. Players can play rummy for cash as before and there are no changes and the games will continue as before.
Pool Rummy brings your local Rummy club online
Hi Everyone, Big News Today!
We are pleased to announce the introduction of a new game format – Pool Rummy on our website. Rummy lovers can now enjoy the rummy club experience online with our new format. Here we answer a few quick questions that you may have, so that you can start Rummying now!
What is Pool Rummy?
Pool Rummy on Games24X7 is a 2 to 6 player game, played using 2 or more packs of 53 cards each (including one printed joker per pack). In Pool Rummy, players pay a fixed entry fee which forms the prize pool. Winner of every deal gets 0 points and the rest accumulate points which are added to their score. A player is eliminated once their score reaches the maximum limit of points on the table eg: 101 Points Pool or 201 Points Pool.
Winnings in Pool Rummy = (Entry Fee) x (no. of players on the table) – Games24×7 fees
What’s New in Pool Rummy?
Auto Drop: A player is allowed to drop anytime during a Pool Rummy match by clicking on ‘Auto Drop‘ button. This player will then be dropped from subsequent deals and given the first drop score (i.e. 20 points in 101 pool or 25 points in 201 pool). If this player wishes to re-join the table, they can do so by clicking on ‘I’m Back‘ Button. The points accumulated by this player when he/she was dropped, will be added to his/her score.
Prize Split: In Pool Rummy, players can use the ‘Split‘ option if they choose to split the prize money. The split option will work as a function of number of drops remaining for a player. Know More About Pool Rummy
