I am really pleased to announce that Rummy Royal have finally woken up to having loads of rummy freeroll tournaments Below I have listed just a few - I can’t wait for these especially the Kalooki freeroll next week as my game play for kalooki has improved massively recently: -

• $1,000 Oklahoma Gin Freeroll (depositing players only) Wednesday, April 23rd, 3:00 PM EST.
• $2,000 Guaranteed Kalooki Tournament (depositing players only) Sunday, April 27th, 3:00 PM EST.

Oh and if you haven’t noticed Rummy Royal have also added a rebuy element to their rummy tournaments where if you are knocked out the first time you can rebuy up to 3 times - This should really help increase the pot for us rummy sharks out on the prowl!!

Nicosia, Cyprus (PRWEB) March 11, 2008 –
Since RummyRoyal launched, the award-winning website has rolled out a long list of exciting promotions for registered players. From welcome bonuses to the new Royal Stars Club, the rewards are endless. This month, RummyRoyal unveils two scheduled special events designed to help registered players win big. On March 16, 2008, RummyRoyal will host the website’s first-ever online Saint Patrick’s Kalooki $1000 Freeroll, followed by an exclusive Kalooki $1500 Guaranteed Tournament on March 30, 2008.  

Kalooki (also referred to as Kaluki or Kalookie) is a popular Rummy game that combines the use of wild cards (Jokers) to add more fun and excitement to the game. Registered RummyRoyal members who are experienced Kalooki players, as well as those who are new to the variation, are invited to try their hand at winning the biggest freerolls yet offered on the RummyRoyal website. On March 16th and 30th, registered players will have the opportunity to participate in two exciting tournaments for a chance to win a $1000 and $1500 cash prize. A $7 buy-in is required for the March 30th tournament, and the cash prizes will be divided among the winners.

Players who would like to participate in the tournaments but are unfamiliar with Kalooki can visit the RummyRoyal website for an online demo, game preview, rules and helpful tips. To register for the tournaments, interested participants can click on the ‘Multi Tourney’ tab found in the application lobby, and then locate the ‘Register’ button once inside the tournament lobby.  Players will need to make at least one deposit into their RummyRoyal account in order to participate.
