Drop Feature in Deals Rummy

During a deals rummy game, any player can exit the deal by using the “Drop” option. There are two types of drops in a game of deals rummy: first drop and middle drop. A first drop happens when a player drops out of the game without picking the first card and incurs a penalty of 20 points. A middle drop is when a player drops anytime after picking the first card, which gets them a penalty of 40 points. When a player misses three consecutive turns, he/she is dropped out of the game and they incur a penalty of 40 points.

Drop Option for 2 Players in Deals Rummy

When two players are playing deals rummy, no player can drop the game. If a player decides to drop, he/she will lose.

Drop Option for More Than 2 Players in Deals Rummy

If more than two players are playing at a table, you can drop a round and come back for the next deal. However, you will still have to incur the penalty points as stated above.

How to Calculate Score in Deals Rummy

In a deals rummy game, the winner of a deal gets zero points. The losing players get penalty points that are calculated by adding the value of the ungrouped cards in their hand. The values of the cards are as follows:

• All face cards (Ks, Qs, Js) and aces (A’s) are worth 10 points each
• All numbered cards (2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, 6s, 7s, 8s, 9s, 10s) are worth the same as their face values. For example, a 7 of any suit is worth 7 points
• All jokers (printed and wild) are worth zero points

Winner’s Points Score Calculation

The player who has the most chips at the end of all the deals is declared the winner. The formula used to calculate the winnings for each deal in deals rummy is as follows:

Winnings = (Chips won × Monetary value of each chip) – Rummy.com fee.

All the players pay the monetary value of the losing points to the winner. The monetary value of each chip is decided at the beginning of the game.

Losing Players' Score Calculation

When a player declares their hand before the first turn of the opponent, it is called a deal show in rummy. Point calculation for a deal show is as follows:

The losing player will only get half of his/her total points. For example, if the total value of ungrouped cards in hand is 40, the player will incur a penalty of only 20 points.

The minimum penalty that a losing player can get is 2 points.

The maximum penalty points a losing player can get is 40 (for a total score of 80 or more).

Maximum Points: The maximum penalty a player can get is 80 points. For example, if the value of ungrouped cards in your hand is 100, the maximum penalty you will incur is still capped at 80 points.
