Tournament Formats

Regular

This tournament format includes the game of Gin, Oklahoma, Kalooki (Kaluki) and Rummy. For a complete schedule please refer to the Scheduled Tournaments page. The idea behind this tournament format is to enable players to compete towards wining a large prize pool. Each tournament has its own payout table that distributes the pool prize in accordance to the players' performance during the entire tournament.

This tournament format is available both in Single Table Tournaments and Multi-Table Tournaments.

Main Lobby abbreviations for special tourney types:

(T)	Turbo
(S)	Speed
(G)	Guaranteed
($xx Added Prize)	Added Prize
(R)	Rebuy

Turbo (T)
These tournaments are like regular ones with the added element of speed.  Enjoy Gin, Kalooki 40, Kalooki 51, Oklahoma, & Rummy with a pace that’s faster, more thrilling and more dynamic.  Each turn lasts 30 seconds, giving players additional challenges of being quicker and more alert. This tournament format is available in both Single Table Tournaments and Multi-Table Tournaments.  You can recognize this type of tournament in the lobby by the "(T)" added at the end of the tournament's name.

Speed (S)
The tourney level counter runs faster, creating faster pace, thrilling tourneys that become more and more unpredictable as they progress.

Guaranteed (G)
In this tournament format RummyRoyal sets a predetermined guaranteed tournament prize that is not conditioned by the amount of the registered players. This means that players' stake amounts count towards the pool prize, however in cases in which not enough players registered in order for the pool prize to reach the guaranteed prize – we will make up the rest. In cases in which players' accumulative stake amount exceeds the predetermined guaranteed prize, the prize will increase correspondingly.

Added Prize ($xx Added Prize)
In added prize tourneys RummyRoyal adds a specific amount of money to the accumulated prize pool. If, for instance, a $7 ($6+$1) buy-in tourney is played by 20 players and has an added prize of $25, the total prize pool will be $145 instead of $120. Added prize tourney will be called “$25 Added Prize” in the tourney lobby. 

Rebuy (R)
In this type of tournament, players can return to a running multi-tourney after being eliminated. As soon as they are eliminated, and as long as the Rebuy option is still available, a popup window will allow them to either quit or return to the tournament. In order to Rebuy players need to press the "Rebuy" button in the popup window, and the amount of the original Buy-In will be deducted from their real money account and added to the total prize pool. Players returning to the tourney by using Rebuy, will get the initial amount of chips set for this tournament. Rebuys can only be used a certain number of times during a tourney, and only until a certain level. Information about the specific rebuy conditions can be found in the tourney lobby screen.

Royal Stars (Royal Stars)
During each month we are holding Royal Stars multi-table tournaments for all R.S.C. members. All of RummyRoyal’s depositing members are invited to participate in these tournaments and convert their accumulated Royal Stars into Real Cash!

Freerolls
Freerolls are multi-table tournaments that offer real money prizes with no entry fee. RummyRoyal holds many freeroll tournaments of various Rummy games on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. In addition we offer special freerolls to the different ranks of VIP membership. All freeroll tournaments inside the lobby are colored yellow in order to make them easily recognizable.

Good luck!
