AIO Games can be downloaded via the QR code on the website. Post installation, go to the Rummy game

Following are the rules that you can follow to play Points Rummy on AIO Games:
Once you have paid the entry fee, you will see your opponent’s joining on the Rummy card table.
So, the game starts with a 13-card that is dealt to each player as the rest are placed facing downwards
in the centre.
Then a card is picked from the top of the cards that are placed in the centre, also known as Draw Pile.
It is then placed at the bottom as a joker.
The dealer then picks another card and places it is facing upwards in the centre that goes to form a
Discard Pile. Discard Pile is where you can discard your cards from.
Once the game has begun, all the players at the table have to make combinations of cards, that in turn give in to melding of sequences and sets. One needs to at least make two sequences, one which includes a pure one.
So, when making a valid show of cards, one must possess at least 2 sequences & the other ones must have Pure and Impure. Also, if he/she makes a valid show & returns with no unmatched cards, he/she will be declared the winner - 0 Points Rummy score.
Before a game of Points Rummy is set to begin, there's a value that is assigned to a point.
So, for an example, let's assume you entered with Rs 4. Remember, if you group your cards in certain
sets & sequences prior to your opponents' moves, then you are qualified as the winner and the tally
turns to 0.
Now, the value of your unmatched cards i.e., not arranged in valid sets & sequences, of your opponents
will be tallied.
Thus, if there are 5 players on the table the value of their unmatched cards is 10, 20, 30, 40 & 50 then
in Point Rummy it will reflect as 4 multiplied by (10+20+30+40+50) which tallies to Rs 600.
In Points Rummy, a card player who makes a valid declaration is called a winner & also has zero points
to go with it.
Furthermore, the points from the unmatched cards of the losing players, will be tallied. Here's what
goes into it -
So, if a losing player does not carry one pure sequence, then he/she's value card will be added.
If he/she has a pure sequence but has not completed two of them, then the value of all card barring the pure ones will be totalled.
Read below some of the tips and tricks that will help you whilst playing Points Rummy and also give you a slight superiority over your opponent. Here's what you can do -
When your game kicks-off, make sure your primary target is giving major focus on Pure Sequence. This in turn will dictate to make a valid Declaration and win the game as well.
When on the Points Rummy table if you are amidst a weak hand & are getting the urge of going for a drop, you should go for a First Drop. A first drop costs 20 points, but if you turn to a middle or miss out on three back-to-back turns, you'll cost 40 points.
One tip or trick that could be the most helpful one in Points Rummy is to move away from high-value cards to allow the low-value cards. This trick actually helps you to get rid of having the high-value cards that are unmatched.
Keep a keen eye on your opponents' cards colour and also what are they discarding. You can foretell which cards they're holding and also avoid discarding them as well.
