CEO Speak

The CEO of RummyRoyal.com has gone on record to state that it is not too clear how rummy fits into the world of online gambling which includes poker, casino, backgammon and bridge sites. However, he feels that rummy is very like poker when compared with the other multi player games available. Like poker, it involves a “perfect combination of skill and luck.”
