What Makes VIP Games: Card & Board Online Stand Out
VIP Games is home to the best international games, including Gin Rummy, Backgammon, Hearts, and many more.
GIN RUMMY RULES
Goal & Setup
• 2 players, standard 52-card deck, Aces are low (A=1).
• Each player gets 10 cards, rest go in a stock pile, top card turned face-up for the discard pile.
Form melds:
• Set = 3–4 cards of the same rank.
• Run = 3+ cards in the same suit in sequence.
• Keep deadwood (unmatched cards) as low as possible
• Cards score: A=1, 2-10 = face value, • J/Q/K=10.
Turn Flow & Ending a Hand
• On your turn: Draw (from stock or discard pile) → Discard one card.
• You may Knock if deadwood ≤ 10 points → discard, reveal hand, opponent can “lay off” onto your melds.
• Go Gin if you have no deadwood → opponent cannot lay off.
• Game ends when someone knocks or goes Gin, then scores are calculated.
Scoring & Winning
• Knocking: score = opponent’s deadwood − your deadwood.
• Gin: score = opponent’s deadwood + 25 bonus.
• Undercut: if opponent’s deadwood ≤ yours when you knock, they score difference + 25 bonus.
• First to 100 (or agreed score) wins the match.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Frustrating to say the least, but all hearts players love the thrill of dropping the queen on a player who deserves it,great game.
Both our friend and we installed and registered this game on our mobile phones. However, the app repeatedly said there were no friends no matter what we tried. So we both uninstalled the app and will look for one that allows us to play with friends.
Awesome game! Very competitive players. We love it. Keep us brushed up for our tournament for live cash on the weekend.
Variedad de juegos, diversin y entretenimiento asegurados.
We love this game.we wish there was a way to tell if you are entering a table that plays 12 card euchre. We hate that game! We also am not a fan of, if you sit next to a player, we want to play with that player not someone else the game sometimes switches your partner. There are some people we dont like playing with, and we end up their partner.
We love playing on this app. Euchre is a throwback from our college days. Its been fun playing against the same kind of people for about five years now.
Has some good card games. If spades was added it would be that much better.
We love your backgammon game using our Apple we Pad Pro but how can we use the app in the panoramic view mode, instead of the portrait view mode. Is there a way to change it in the settings or somewhere else? An update to this review..It now works in the panoramic mode when we play the Backgammon Game which is the best game we play and love on this app. Thanks for the wanted improvement. Keep up the good work.
When we open the app, it says theres a newer version that needs to be downloaded from the App Store but when we go to the App Store, it just keeps downloading the version we have and wont let us play cause it says theres a newer version, but nothing different will download. Tried over 10 times with no success and cant play. Please get this fixed quickly. Thanks.
Our father and we truly enjoy VIP a lot. Thanks. Matt.
Great options of games to play.
We cant say how much we love this game. We play every morning and it really is fun. It is nice to meet people all over the world. The games are a lot of fun and very competitive. We would suggest to anyone to join.
We just wish there was more people online because Im always playing the computer.
We like playing hearts with real people.
We love this game. Only negative is sometimes you are playing robots. Live games are fun.
We cant say how much we love this game. We play every morning and it really is fun. It is nice to meet people all over the world. The games are a lot of fun and very competitive. We would suggest to anyone to join.
We play this everyday, but for the last two days Ive had to delete it and download it again as it keeps freezing up on us. Plus we dont think you should have to pay cash to become a vip player if you earn enough points you should be a loud to use some of them.
We left to play sorry but on here is called Ludo with a few different rules. Players are so nice and it is a fun game to pass the time.
Enjoyable format to practice Euchre.
Its a great game to pass the time with a few quirks or nuisances.
The this best completion of players for free we have found.
Almost everyday we get a refresh when logging into VIP games. The refresh button doesnt work so we have to shut down our iPad and restart it.
We just love the option of all the games Buying coins are reasonable price. Cant go wrong. Meeting all kinds of people all over the world, very friendly , caring and loving Thank you.
1) players stalling as long as possible to select a card. It turns a 10/15 min game into much, much longer. This is a big problem; reporting does nothing. We end up quitting more games than finish them. 2) allow a -26 option for people who shoot the moon. It will keep more players trying to win games rather than throw them.
Were you have enough points and you dont have to play with dummies.
The obscene amount of advertising that pops-up right before clicking to start a game (making one accidentally start a purchase almost every time) makes actually getting to a game table not worth the trouble. Id stay away.
Play backgammon a lot and the dice rolls do not seem random. Many perfect rolls happen both ways that are not true to a real board game.
Your verification of us after years of playing on your sight is sad.
Love the brisca and dominoes games can play with friends all over great app im hook up lol.
Says you can win up to 2000 coins to watch a long video ad and you always win 50 or less. Bunch of amateur players so you cant get a quality game without coins. Not fun or worth your time.
This app was great until the extra adds were added recently. The moving adds at the top while you play are distracting and annoying. Makes us not want to play anymore.
App constantly freezes up, there is no customer support when issues arrive, and they want a huge % of the coins wagered on every game. Pathetic.
The best game Ive ever play in our life Keep it up.
This was a great site very competitive and friendly players, up until a few weeks ago when many of the players started cheating and stealing using DISCORD. We truly hope the admin would be able to fix this.
Almost everyday we get a refresh when logging into VIP games. The refresh button doesnt work so we have to shut down our iPad and restart it.
Bots rule this game and they are horrible. We had a bot pass with right left and ace. We also had one give the opponents their third trick even though they had a bigger trump. You spend the whole game trying to beat the algorithm. If you get too many points you cannot win because the computer is going to make you lose.
We get nothing but glitches when playing. For example: playing hearts, Im waiting for our turn and the game freezes and then all of a sudden it reloads the players and our time is almost gone. It happens all the time. Once today, we were choosing the cards to pass and the game froze and when it reloaded, the card choosing window stayed frozen on the screen so we couldnt see what was played. Grrrrrr! So frustrating! Hearts is one of our most favorite games to play, spades is our number 1 love, but these VIP games have gone downhill and we think Ill search for another app to play them. So disappointed.
We love playing these card games but we wish the developers would fix the bug in the sound. If you try to play two games in a row, the sound doesnt work and you have to exit that app and start it again, and then try to rejoin the game. Very annoying.
We play this everyday, but for the last two days Ive had to delete it and download it again as it keeps freezing up on us. Plus we dont think you should have to pay cash to become a vip player if you earn enough points you should be a loud to use some of them.
We love playing the games we know how to play. Lots of fun. There are games we never heard of.
You have to win 2 of 3 euchre games just to break even-against some great players. Game costs 500 entry fee, winning players get 750 points. So, winners net 250 gain. Others pots are similar. Cost of new points is $0.99 for 460 points -little or no break for large purchases. 34,500 points cost $90. If you play often or for larger prize games be prepared to pay. Ive gone through 20,000 purchased points in a week. It is a fun game, addictive, but costly and no way to win more than 2/3 of your games -so youll be paying to play. The developers deserve money, but not at this rate! Updated: we purchased some great deals at New Year's 120,000 points for around $75. It will last us several months and its been great entertainment during the covid lockdown. Be prepared to spend a little money. Wait for special deals to buy coins then buy enough to last a while.
We played this (against people of our own approximate level) for a few days and got up to level 18 quickly without having to buy anything. Now it will only pair us with levels 47 and above. Of course we immediately began losing because those players are far more advanced than us. In order to continue playing while losing continuously, we have to pay money for more coins, or wait for daily lotto-type games in hopes of collecting enough coins for a game every couple of days. If the game matched us against players of our own level, maybe we would consider this game worth our money, but we wont pay to be matched with someone they know we cant win against just so they can charge us more to play.
Pay money to play a bunch off people that are terrible at cards with no choice of getting rid of bad players. Sounds great doesnt it.
We havent been able to use this app for the past few days now. Every time we launch the app it gets stuck on the VIP games intro page and never loads up. Ive uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times. Even going so far as to completely remove all our data from our phone to try reinstalling and it still wont work. We have an iPhone 11 and all software is up to date. What gives.
Game is great Cost of coins is way too high. Also recent update left us unable to block players. With ante at 1000payoff sihould be. Little higher for winning.
Great find… Free options and affordable chips too.
Strong players. Proceed with caution.
Listen here VIP games we hate your game the guy gets 6 6 5 times.
Good game but u need to nooner to subtract 26 not automatically add.
We just love VIP Games. They keep us busy when Im bored. Thank you for all the games.
