Rummy is a Skill Game
Gambling is based on chance which means that there is a lot of uncertainty and the fate of the game is primarily decided by chance and not skill. In rummy, arranging cards (making sequences and sets), using a joker, picking and discarding cards selectively involves real mental ability and skills.
Rummy (also known as Regular Rummy, Straight Rummy, Standard Rummy or Traditional Rummy) remains one of the most popular Rummy card games. As with many other Rummy games, it is well suited to wagering as it contains all the exciting ingredients of a high octane Poker game but with a great deal more skill involved.
