Purpose of the game

The main purpose of Gin Rummy is to win more final points than opponent. The game is usually played to 100 points and is made up of a number of hands. In a hand, the goal is to form matched sets of cards by drawing and discarding cards. You should reduce the total card value of unmatched cards in your hand before your opponent can, and usually you should go out (knock) first in the hand. In order to make knock successfully, the total card value of unmatched cards in your hand must be equal to or less than the maximum knock score, which depends on the Gin Rummy variation you are playing.

Net Gin Rummy and Gin Rummy Java Applet allow you to play Simple, Standard and Oklahoma Gin variations of Gin Rummy:

• Simple Gin is the version of Gin Rummy where you can make knock if you will only have gin. Because the winning player always has gin, there is no undercutting in this variation of Gin Rummy.
• Standard Gin is the traditional version of Gin Rummy. The maximum knock score in a hand of Standard Gin is 10. It means that you can make knock whenever your total card value of unmatched cards (after knocking) will be 10 or less. Unless the player who knocks has gin, it is possible undercutting.
• Oklahoma Gin is similar to Standard Gin except:
  
  The card dealt to the discard pile at the beginning of the round defines the minimum points required to knock. When an ace is the first upcard, some people play that you must have gin to knock. Others allow knocking with one unmatched ace (one unmatched point).
  
  If the first card dealt to the discard pile is a Spade, then the points won at the end of the round will automatically be doubled. The number of extra bonus boxes earned will also be doubled.
