Rummy Royal Card
Room is somewhat new to the online world but then
again so is the game of Rummy in the sense it is played
at Rummy Royal.
Here are a few quotes taken from
someone inside the organization in response to my
interview:
What
are your numbers like?
"We
probably have around 100k players in total with a few
k’s of real players. There are a few hundreds
simultaneously most of the time, sometimes more I
believe. The chat in the lobby is very powerful and
people spend hours there talking to on another"
Where do your players come from?
"Our
biggest markets are UK and US"
"many of
them come from poker and casino sites, and of course
many of them are the ones the search for “rummy online”
variants keywords in Google"
Ever catch anybody cheating? Its
bound to happen, really a matter of when more than if.
"We’ve
had a few, all small ones and were pretty bad at it. We
and our players were never damaged by someone and
weren’t able to catch them and fix it. Our system is
well adjusted to it and the chances for a successful
collision are too low to mention."
When did you launch and what kind
of impact have you had on the Rummy market since that
time?
"last
year around May on a low key, and this year was the real
launch after the booth at CAP London in Dec 2007. We are
relatively new but our control over the Rummy market is
ridiculously one-sided."
This a lot like the poker
industry?
Poker
and Casino hardly have anything new to offer. Been
there, done that. It’s great, fun"
But its not something new to
players. And Rummy is ... at least for now. So will
Rummy grow into the shoes of poker?
billion dollar market
You don't kid yourself?
Rummy
will probably never make that kind of money.
Agreed. Thank you for those
