Online Okey Game

    

Okey is a very interesting Rummy variation that is constantly gaining popularity and more people daily are starting to play it. We can actually say that out of all Rummy games, Okey is the one that features most beginners at the moment. This is because people will use the same strategies that are linked with other types of Rummy while not pay attention to the different aspects of the Okey game.

The goal in Okey is to be the first of the players that manages to lay down all the tiles in sets, runs or hold 7 pairs. What is different is the scoring that happens after the game is over. Pay attention to the fact that the winner will receive points while all the others will lose points. It is not an effective strategy to try and make as many sets or runs as possible as they will be scored. In fact, you will lose points every time you do not win a hand. Keep that in mind. In order to win an okey game you will have to win some hands and learn some okey game strategy.

The set and runs are a little different than with some Rummy games. A set is made out of 3 or 4 tiles that have the exact same value but will feature a different suite. A run is made out of a minimum of 3 tiles that are consecutive and have the same color. A pair is made out of 2 tiles of the same value and the same color. As already mentioned, if you have 7 pairs you can win the game and gain the most possible points at the end of the hand. The problem is that it is really hard to land those 7 pairs and most people that go for this type of win hand will basically lose. A very good okey game tip is to only go for winning with 7 pairs in the event that you are already ahead in points.

Always remember that you will play more rounds in order to determine a winner. This will allow you to play your best games, even if luck is not on your site. You do need a little degree of patience in order to become a winner of the game. If you lose at first you must not stop and continue working hard in order to win and gain back points.
