Royal Rummy is referred to by different names in different countries. Others names include Tripoley, Michigan Rummy, Poch and Calliente. The game is played with 3 to 8 players, a game board, 96 betting chips and one standard deck of playing cards. The object of the game is to get rid of all the cards in your hand and collect the chips in the pot.
Set Up
A banker is appointed by the players and distributes an even number of chips to all players. The chips are three different colors and have denominations of 1, 5 and 10 points. Players each place one chip of the same denomination on each square of the playing mat, including the pot in the middle.
Players decide if aces are high or low. Then each player draws a card from the deck, and high card deals the hand. Beginning on his left, the dealer deals the entire deck to the players, plus one additional--or dummy--hand. All cards are dealt face down. After the dealer has looked at his cards, he may choose to discard them and play the dummy hand instead. Should the dealer wish to keep his original hand, he auctions the dummy hand to the highest bidder and keeps all the chips from the auctioning. Anyone who trades his original cards for the dummy must play the dummy hand. If no one wishes to discard and bid on it, the dummy hand is not played and no one is allowed to look at the cards.
Optional Ace Betting
If all players agree to the optional ace betting, it takes place either before the deal or before the players look at their hands.
On the four corners of the rummy board, a symbol representing each suit is printed. They're called aces. The dealer has the option of betting on one of the aces. If the players wish to cover the bet, they must place chips that equal the dealer's bet on that ace. Players now look at their cards, and the player with the ace that was bet on must reveal it. If that player placed a bet on the ace, he wins all the chips bet. If not, the chips remain on the ace. On the subsequent deal, each bettor must bet on that same ace again.
Optional Poker Hand
Though generally played, this hand is optional. The hand is played according to the rules of a single hand of Five-Card Stud. In this hand, ace is always high.
Each player selects five cards from his hand to be his poker hand. Beginning with the player to the dealer's left, each player chooses to bet or fold. Once one player bets, every player must meet the bet, raise it, or fold. Once the highest bet is met by all who have not folded, the one with the best poker hand wins the pot.
Rummy Hand
The rummy hand is the only one that must be played.
The player to the left of the dealer (or the person who won the poker hand) begins by laying down his lowest black--spade or club--card. Then the player to his left must either lay down the next card in that suit or pass (if the first person plays a two of spades, the next must play the three of spades). A player may lay down more than one card as long as the card is in sequence.
When cards that match the squares on the game board are played, the person playing the card takes all chips positioned on that particular square.
When the suit can no longer be played because the next card in the sequence is in the discarded hand, the next player plays his lowest card of the opposite color and the sequence begins again. If no player can play a card of the opposite color, each player adds one chip to the pot for each card he is still holding.
The player to lay down all of his cards first wins and takes all the chips in the pot. If there are still chips on the board, they remain for the next hand.
