FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. What is the object of 13 Card Indian Rummy?
Each player gets 13 cards. The object is form runs (sequences) and sets using all the 13 cards. Normally, the winner will have 4 combinations of runs and sets, out of which 3 will be 3-cards and one will be of 4-cards. However, it is possible to have 3 combinations of 5-, 4-, and 4- cards; 5-, 5-, and 3-cards; or 6-, 4- and 3-cards. It is also possible to have just two combinations.
Q. What is a wild card?
All the printed jokers are wild cards. Plus all cards of same rank as the face up card below the stock pile on the table are wild cards.
In a sequence or a set any wild card can be used as a substitute for the missing card. Only one wild card can be used in a sequence or a set. The sequence that uses a wild card (as a substitute for the missing card) is a non pure sequence.
Q. What are the requirements of a Valid Declare?
A valid declare must have minimum two runs and out of these runs one run must be pure (called First Life). The second run can be pure or non pure (called Second Life). Either First Life or Second Life must have 4 or more cards. On a valid declare the scores of the rest of the players are counted.
Q. Why a sequence with 2 wild cards is not a valid sequence?
Yes, in Indian Rummy by Octro, only one wild card can be used in a sequence or a set. In Octro’s Indian Rummy we follow the rules followed by the leading clubs in India. We have clearly stated and documented these rules.

Q. How is my level in India Rummy decided?
As soon as you have enough chips, you move to higher level. So your level is automatically decided based on number of chips you have. Once you reach a higher level, you are always higher level player. If you do not have enough chips to play on that level, you can play on lower level.
Any of your Indian Rummy friend on a lower level can invite you to play on his/her table.
Q. How can I transfer chips from my guest account to my Facebook account?
The guest account and the Facebook account are treated as two different accounts. Chips are not transferable.
Q, Why I am always losing? It appears that the game is fixed.
Please be assured that the card distribution is completely random. There is no way we can figure out who gets what cards. It is just plain luck. Indian Rummy requires luck, skill and judgment. We wish you best of luck in the game.
Hello Emily, which version of Rummy software are you using on the iPad. Is there a specific pattern to have it crash. Which version of iOS are you using on your iPad.
Hi great game but I have lost sound while playing a game
All the sound settings are on and I have tried deleting app and reinstalling
But still no sound any suggestions ?
Dan
Dan, there is a problem with the released build, that sound sometimes just stops working. It would start working again on its own after some time.
We will resolve this issue in the next version.

Hi,
I play Indian rummy on facebook and I am unable to play since few days because I am getting some error.
My facebook user id is “manjula.chada.1″.
Appreciate your help.
Hello Manjula,
Can you please let us know the exact error you are getting. Also, please let us know which browser you are using and which version.
You should also try to delete all cookies from the browser, and then retry. The page browsers.about.com/od/faq/tp/delete-cookies.htm gives details on how to delete cookies on Internet Explorer. After deleting the cookies, close the browser, and then reopen the browser, and go to Indian Rummy.
Hi, I’ve been a fan of Indian rummy game from past few days. However, there are couple of changes I would like to suggest.
1. If there are no valid sequences, take the actual count of cards instead of full 80 points.
2. Display the points count next to each player. It helps to play safe or drop the cards
3. Ask to block the incoming calls before opening the app or handle the incoming call. While playing if any call comes, the game is disrupted. If you seek input from your app screen whether to take call or reject that will help.
In addition to these, I need one information. What is the alternate joker, when a printed joker is selected ?. Some people say it is 2 and some say it is Q. Please help me.
Finally, playing this game is really refreshing. Thank you
When any three cards of the same value and colour are considered as pure sequence , why not three printed jokers ?
Because it is easy to get 3 printed jokers as there are 6 of them available in a game with 3 decks.
I am unable to play against bots for more than 10 chips at a time.As I invite I get a message bots cannot play on this table
We have disallowed bots on large point private tables. You can play large point games on public tables or with facebook friends on private table.
Which card will be considered as joker, if joker is Joker Card.
I’m unable to purchase the chips. It seems it is no more supported on APPS store. What is the new procedure for purchase of chips?
Hello Razaur, please let us know which device you are using to Play Indian Rummy. We will let you know the procedure. Google Play, Apple Appstore or Facebook Credits should all work to purchase chips.
Apple AppStore. I have an apple ipad mini.
What is the error you receive when you try to purchase chips? The app store should be working fine.
I’m receiving the following msg:
“Cannot connect to App Store. This device is not supported by App Store”
I’m purchasing all other products except yours.
Looks like you were able to purchase today – looking at logs. If you were able to resolve the issue, maybe you can let us know what was wrong?
Still problem is I solved. I told my son to purchase it overseas, using my ID. Anyway Ted.
1) Three printed jokers (we call them “hats”) should be considered as a pure sequence, its just like 3 cards of same set and number (London)which is pure sequence.
2) Players not playing for 3 rounds are considered as a drop with 20 points, why? it should be 80 points. Initial drop (before drawing a card)=20 points, Second drop=40 points, and anything else like not playing, not declaring, wrong declare should be 80 points. Players after some rounds deliberately don’t play for 3 rounds so they are penalized only 20 points (but, if they get good cards after not playing for 2 rounds they continue), this makes others loose patience.
1. When we are using three decks, there are six printed jokers while there are only three cards of same rank and same suit. Also when any player gets two cards of same rank and same suit, mostly the player will aim to get rid of the duplicate card instead of waiting for another similar card to make a pure sequence. But when a player gets two printed joker, the player will avoid throwing a printed joker as a loose card.
2. When a player drops without picking any card from the table, player loses 20 points. When a players drops after picking even a single card, the player loses 40 points.
If a player does pick any card for three rounds, the player is removed from the game (forced drop). Yes, the player loses only 20 points as mostly this happens because of poor Internet connection and not deliberately.
Hello,
I am unable to invite my online friends to private table even though “play” option comes under their names..they are not able to invite me too..but im able to invite a bot to private table..y is it so
As per the requirement I hv one original set n a duplicate rummy of one 4 cards set. Still I have one card left with 2 or 3 jokers left, how can I declare.
You can not declare even when there is a single card left except jokers. Wait for next turns till you can make a sequence with or without a joker. Delcare all unused jokers separately.
Sir
This is just to inform u that I’ve been playing on your rummy site for about a month
There is this particular man named XXXXXX
Who uses absolutely unacceptable language and its really annoying
There is no way to block him or his indecent language
Hence I’m forced to mail you
Please take this matter seriously as there r ladies also playing this game so it’s really embarrassing for one and all
Thanks and hope to hear from you

We have received another complaint against the same person, and we will block his chats soon.
I have purchased 100k for RS 110 but I am debited 2 times for the same purchase , RS 60 and RS 110. Why so . Secondly why isn’t the chips credited to our account immediately.
Hello, the Rs. 60 debit might be a temporary authorization that Google Checkout sometimes does to verify a user account. If you didn’t do a second purchase, that debit will disappear (generally within 72 hours). Again, we have no access to your credit card etc., and all transactions are handled by Google. All purchases are handled by Google, and we are notified of a purchase by them. We credit the chips immediately after being notified. BTW, I am assuming you purchased from an Android phone.
I use iPad. Purchased 100k abt an hour back. Haven’t been credited as yet . Kindly chk
For iPad, just replace Google with Apple for my previous reply
.
We haven’t yet received a confirmation from iTunes for the purchase. The confirmation is sent to our game server from the Indian Rummy client once iTunes notifies it of the successful purchase.
Apple also generally sends you an email receipt of your purchase – can you check if you have received it? Unfortunately, we have no control of it, and no way of verifying the status as it is handled by Apple.
Also, try exiting Indian Rummy (by closing it from the running applications bar), and then opening again. iTunes generally notifies again about a purchase when app re-starts (in case there was a problem earlier).
The ads at the bottom makes it difficult to declare . This happens very often . Please do something abt this …….:(
How can we move from a 500 point table o a 100 point or 50 point table .
Dear Alka, there is no option available to do that currently. We are working on a new premium model where you will be able to move +- 2 levels, but that option is probably going to be available only after 15-30 days.
I do not know if you r receiving my mails but must tell you once again and it’s my humble request to you to block the message box of XXXXX .He still uses that foul language. Even this morning he has done so.
Dear Shahrukh, please send your account information to us on support@octro.com . If you sign in using FB, then send us the link to your profile, otherwise if you sign in using guest, let us know your display name and number of chips you have.
We will block this guy such that his chats would not be visible to you.
Done, we have blocked the user so that his Chat’s will not be sent to you. In the new version we have implimented this feature so that you can yourself block chat of any player.
Want to bring to your notice abt 2 players using foul language. Kindly block these ….
You can yourself block the chat of anyone. Click the avatar of the person and select Block.
i would like to be able to play on a 1 or 2 chip table but most often i am seated at a 10 chip table can i change this if so how.Thank you.
Based on number of games played and won, you are automatically moved to higher level.
I wish to know that how can we choose what point table we need to play, as it is the software which decides what point table we play, if I want to play on say 2/10/20/50 point table there is no choice, it is mandatory to play what software gives us to play, this is fishy, and I have seen many people with balance of 40000 to 80000 playing on 2 point table, but I am not able to go to that table, as the software does not allow to go to that 2 point table
Please advise,
Thanks
Ajay
Ajay,
As soon as you have enough chips, you move to higher level. So your level is automatically decided based on number of chips you have. Once you reach a higher level, you are always higher level player. If you do not have enough chips to play on that level, you can play on lower level.
Any of your Indian Rummy friend on a lower level can invite you to play on his/her table.
I am unable to purchase chip because of some problem. The only response is “getting product” and that’s all. It just does not open. I love the game but lack of chips does not allow me to play.
Madhavi,
We are not aware of any such problem. What phone are you using? Please reply to support@octro.com
If 7 hearts is the open card below the stack it is considered a Joker(wildcard). However presume if you have 5 6 7 all of hearts, then it is also considered as a pure sequence right ?
Yes. This is pure sequence.
It seems I have lost about 400,000 chips when there was some problem with the network .. I was on a table with Harry farry, Bhilad and another person . Pl chk . And will appreciate if u revert back . Thanks
Please read Terms of Service in Privacy/Legal at www.. Here is an extract:
By accepting to use Indian Rummy application, you fully understand and agree that you can lose chips because of many reasons beside losing while playing the game. Some of the reasons are client’s data connection, Internet connection, improper behaviour of the client (Indian Rummy app), Octro, Inc. server problem, sudden increase in traffic, someone else using your account or your account is hacked and many more.
I fail to understand how one can loose around 400000 chips in a span of few minutes while the Internet connection or server is down. Secondly how my acc can be hacked or used by someone else while I am playing
