How do I track Gin Rummy scores and settle up?

Quick Answer

Track Gin Rummy scores with PartyPot by recording each hand's points as transactions. The banker credits knock points, gin bonuses, and undercuts to the winner. At the end, Smart Settlement calculates net payments between all players.

Detailed Answer

Gin Rummy scoring has lots of small details — a digital tracker keeps it honest.

Gin Rummy scoring breakdown:

•Knock: Winner scores the point difference between deadwood (e.g., you knock with 5, opponent has 23 → you score 18)
•Gin bonus: Knock with 0 deadwood = 25 bonus points
•Undercut: If opponent's deadwood ≤ your knock → opponent scores the difference + 25 bonus
•Game bonus: First to 100 points gets +100 bonus
•Box/line bonus: +25 per hand won

Why manual tracking fails:

•Deadwood calculations get tricky with multi-hand games
•Bonus points are easy to forget
•Running totals across 10+ hands are error-prone
•Settlement math at the end involves multiple multipliers

How to track with PartyPot:

1. Create room with 2 players (or more for round-robin)

2. After each hand, banker records the winner's score as a credit

3. Bonuses are recorded as separate transactions

4. Running totals update automatically

5. End session → see final settlement

Pro tips for Gin Rummy tracking:

•Use the starting balance as "0" since Gin Rummy tracks cumulative points
•Record each hand as a single net transaction to the winner
•Use transaction notes to mark special hands (gin, undercut)
•For money games, agree on $/point rate before starting
