FAQ
1) How are the opponents unique?
Each opponent has different strategies and goal. The higher level opponents are more likely to knock, whereas the lower levels prefer to play for gin. Higher level opponents rarely pick up cards from the discard pile to avoid revealing their hand. And just like the real-life pros, the highest level opponents keep track of discards to know which cards are still “live”.
2) Do the opponents cheat?
Absolutely not! They don't get better cards, they can not see your hand. How would that be fun for you, our valued customer?
3) How are the cards dealt?
Cards are dealt randomly, just as if you were using a real deck.
4) So why am I not winning?
Gin Rummy is a complicated game. While easy to learn, it requires a lot of skill and strategy to master. Check out the “Strategy” section under Help for some valuable tips and tricks.
5) But sometimes the opponent knocks right away.
In any card game there is also a lot of luck. If you play for a while, you'll get your share of lucky hands too!
6) Why didn't my game download?
Occasionally there are glitches that interrupt a download and cause it to fail. Usually if you just try again it will work fine. If not, you may want to clear the Market cache by going to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All -> Market -> Clear Cache AND Force Stop. Then retry the download. If that doesn't work, please send us an email at support@tesseractmobile.com.

Not Enjoyable Any Longer I have been playing this game for a long time - every day. It used to be fun, but now the cards are stacked against you no matter what you do. And please do not tell me that I do not know how to play! I have played gin rummy all my life! There needs to be a TRUE shuffle option. I certainly don't expect to win every game - but to lose game after game after game after game gets very tiresome. Why bother?

Great gin game The game plays well. Check your probabilities, ace. Stop whining and learn to play Gin. If you think the game cheats then try something else... go fish, maybe. Thanks for a great game.

GOOD, BUT I like this game and play it a lot, but statisticaly speaking, it is extremely improbable that your opponent will win 5 times in a row after picking up three or less cards. Or that too often after choosing a discard, the next drawn card would have created a set if the other card was kept. It is almost as if the game is punishing you to taunt. At least it seems that way. Needs new opponents. Worth the $ to get rid of the ads.

Fixed ICS I love this game, and this last update fixed the graphics issue on my GNex. Can open the settings screen , but if I accidentally scroll the screen goes beserk. Have learned not to do that. Thank you!

Please add Hollywood scoring Absolutely love the gameplay, various AI opponents, stats etc. But I always play Hollywood scoring, which makes for longer games.
