Gin Rummy Classic+ Hack 1.2.4 + Redeem Codes

It’s an OK game. I don’t see the cheating people claim. Yes, the computer gets some quick knocks from time to time, but so do I. I’ve been playing a while and am at Master I level. The computer plays a tight, defensive strategy that can be tough to beat until you learn how (and *when*) to beat it, but it can be done once you learn how. (People claiming to never get the cards they need may be speculating too much or not know how to beat this strategy. I’m winning more than losing at my current level, and I’m not a card player. Gin Rummy and Euchre are the only games I don’t embarrass myself playing.)

My biggest complaints are the boring strategy employed by the AI (but I’m not a programmer, and that *may* be the only strategy that an engine can use to play at a high level?) and the animations that cut too early on occasion (and take too long when the do go). Also, the computer assumes the melds you want to make and won’t readjust the melds when you select a discard that breaks a meld it thinks you should. This can be confusing and is critical in late game decisions. (It also is “taking advice from the opponent”, which is never a good strategy.)

Still a relatively decent game.

First off, great game, but I can already tell I’m going to get bored of it. Here’s why:

The computer opponent does not play like a real human. Unless the computer is dealt a meld with high cards, all it does is rush to discard everything high for a quick knock. Although this is a viable strategy in Gin Rummy for humans, it is not done near as often in real Gin as it is done by the algorithms that drive this particular game. So now I have to change my real world strategy to best this game, which is not hard. If I am not dealt a high card meld right off the bat, I immediately begin shedding high cards in anticipation of an opponent knock. I will literally sit with a single ace in the hole and wait for the computer to knock. I will not knock myself because I know I will get a quick 25 pts for an undercut.

And the complaints of this game “cheating” are unfortunately somewhat accurate. Too often, as soon as I give up on a meld, the opponent will drop my needed card, like it knows what I was waiting for. It happens far too often to be a coincidence.

Like I said, good game. I will keep playing. But it needs some tweaks.

I have to wonder about the developers. I have played Gin Rummy for decades…will real hand-held cards if you can believe it! This game is a lot of fun, yet exceedingly frustrating. All the negative reviews are spot on. While my winning percentage is better than my losing percentage, I’m not convinced it’s worth 5 bucks a month. So I’ve downloaded Hearts and Spades as well to fool myself into believing I’m getting my money’s worth. In any case, all these card games are addictive, but fall way short of expectations. I suppose I could be spending my dough on things more ridiculous. The graphics, layout, and animations are terrific so…guess I’ll keep playing until I quit playing :)
Update 10/1. I made to level 163, but I will be deleting this game, and the other card games from Arcade. In addition to all the accurate negative reviews, I find it extremely odd that the developers don’t bother responding…at all. The games are in pretty packages, but are so poorly developed. It’s all about the $5 monthly subscription fees. What a racket. Apple, you should address the poor quality of the games you endorse. I’m out

I cannot believe I am paying for this crappie game
Now they have multi player and its just a bad as the robotic game
The other player gets loaded from the start , I played for a hour the day and never won a round or even got a chance to knock . They were dealt a matching hand from the beginning and go out before I can get going .
This morning I figured out a secret ,since everyone is trying to get their deadwood as low as possible I would start just giving them low cards to begin with and they quickly got rid of the high cards. I won 9 rounds in a row , no game should be this extreme on either side of the deck . The support here is a lamé automated response as I emailed them several times and got the same response even when I told them about the nudity inside the game they gave the same silly automated response. I really wish there was a game that was worth the monthly charge but I grateful I had better sense not too buy the ONE , that is insanely stupid! Can you believe Apple needs to bleed more money out of us , they are so hard up for money!!!!!

It’s a nice game truly but my issues are some needed options. I want to be able to turn off the tips and be able to organize my own hand. Having the cards automatically put into melds gives me no control. I get to choose a card, a discard and when to knock. This doesn’t okay true to the ever changing strategy of gin. I find that I don’t play this as often because if this. It would be really great to have these options.

In general the ai plays for lowest deadwood and discards strictly defensive. So once you know that the game becomes completely dependent on the deal and draw. It seems like either the ai or the player runs away with the game 90% of the time. The lack of close games seems very un-random. I have also noticed that occasionally the player does not lay off cards that it clearly should. It is hard to catch because the animation is fast but if you watch you can see it.

Update: Changed to 2 stars. Once I got into the gold tiers the game was no fun. The ai opponent didn’t get better the deals are just stacked against the player.

Besides the annoyance of it asking for a review everyday. This game is fun, it has good settings so you can set the game to your level of experience. Where it misses is the time waste of giving you points after every hand so you can progress up the nonsense levels. Then when you finish a game it makes you wait for an opponent, as if there’s another human there, but it’s just the computer. If you got rid of these time wasters I’d give you 5 stars, or at least make them optional.
Question, is there a way to play against other people, actual humans?

This is a fun game until you get to the platinum level. Once you reach that, it is practically impossible for you to win. Yes, you may win one or two rounds, but your opponent will either undercut you a lot of times or the cards you need are either at the bottom or your opponent has it so that he ends up knocking before you. It is also very rare that you will undercut your opponent.

No real randomness here. Want to prove it? Wait until you’ve been soundly trounced by the AI. Then they will try to keep us from a rage quit by easy win right? So just try to lose with the next opponent. It can’t be done. I made no melds but still draw cards that I could use. I refused to knock but then ended up with an undercut bonus and won twice.

Want more proof? The AI ALWAYS picks up ace, twos and threes — that’s the way it’s programmed to meld w low cards and is always dealt some.

Gin Rummy is so addictive they don’t care if their game is mediocre. I winder if it’s a great deal of work to have a more sophisticated AI.

I've won the first 34 games I've played on the competitive level. I've been playing gin for more than 60 years and used to be very good but I'm 75, my short term memory is shot and I can no longer remember the cards. I'm really just winging it at this point. So I shouldn't win every game. I've played many computer opponents on expert level and I usually win 60 to 70% of games. So I'm not sure how competitive this AI is. Does it get better as you progress through the levels?
