How to play rummy online. The aim of rummy is to get rid of all your cards before your opponent does. One standard deck of 52 cards is used for classic rummy.

I just returned from a week in Costa Rica yesterday. I'll write about the casino scene there shortly.
Most casinos in Costa Rica have no blackjack at all, claiming it is illegal. Instead, they offer a blackjack-based game called Rummy. You can find the rules on my Odds site.
Before you get your hopes up about all the good rules, especially early surrender, I think they don't offset the no 3-2. I'm going to start working on an analysis, but if there are any bored mathematicians on the forum, feel free join in the fun and we'll compare results.

So do they automatically pay a 21, 1:1 I assume, or do they wait until the round is over?

No. A 21-21 tie would be a push. Any winning 21 pays 1 to 1.

Do you get paid the highest rummy bonus that you qualify for, or are they cumulative?

I just asked myself that as I start to work on this. Knowing how casinos usually interpret rules in their own favor, let's say the player gets only the highest bonus he is entitled to. I think this issue would come into play with a suited 7-7-7 only.

Rummy Bonus Blackjack

A side analysis would be to look at the bonuses only.
This table shows my analysis for a six-deck game, assuming the player always goes for the bonus.

Bonus	Pays	Combinations	Probability	Return
Three of a kind unsuited	3	23328	0.004653	0.013960
Straight flush	3	9504	0.001896	0.005687
Three of a kind suited	5	1040	0.000207	0.001037
7-7-7 unsuited	5	1944	0.000388	0.001939
6-7-8 suited	5	864	0.000172	0.000862
Total	36680	0.007317	0.023485

I'll obviously have to take into account that the player won't always go for the bonus.

Rummy Blackjack

Let me say that my rough estimate for now shows a house edge of right about 1%. I'd give it +/- 0.1%.

Offhand it looks like with no blackjacks there is no way to count the game.
Rule variants
The following rule variants may be encountered in Rummy.
I am confused by this rule variant : Unsuited 7-7-7 pays 3 to 1 bonus only.

If the general rule is: Unsuited Three of a kind pays 3 to 1 is the exception that only 7-7-7 pays 3 to 1 , and every other unsuited three of a kind pays nothing?
