Rummy Royal Card Room

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 answers Yoav
