- Each game is a single deal.
- A pre determined value is assigned to points.
- A winning hand must consist of one pure sequence (without joker) and one other sequence (with or without joker).
- The winning player gets 0 points and all others get points for cards that they have not been able to meld into valid sequences or sets.

Pool Rummy
All players at a table combine or ‘pool in’ money as they take their seats at a table to play a game. The goal is to accumulate zero points as points carry negative value. When the deal or game is over, the player with zero points is the winner. The loosing players accumulate points based on the cards they hold in their hand. Players whose points add up to (101 or 201) which are maximum points are eliminated. Ultimately all players get eliminated, except one, and that player is declared the winner. The player with the lowest score at the end of all games is declared a winner.
- A winning hand must consist of one pure sequence (without joker) and one other sequence (with or without joker).
- All other cards could be melded into sets of 3 cards or 4 cards. A player can also make straight sequences with the remaining cards.
- The winning player gets 0 points and all others get points for cards that they have not been able to meld into valid sequences or sets.
- At the end of each deal that is after a player declares, points are calculated. As soon as any player reaches a total of 101 or 201 points (based on the type of game that is selected), they are out of the game.
- A player who has previously left the game, can come back into the game in case no other player in that particular game has more than 79 points.

Player Winnings = (Entry Fee) X (Number of players at the table) – Rummy Passion Rake
The chips are pre-decided based on the number of deals to be played on that table. This number is based on the number of players seated at the table multiplied by the maximum score a player can get. Suppose if 6 deals are to be played, then 480 chips are allocated to every player on that table at the start of the game.
