Oklahoma Gin

Oklahoma Gin is a very popular variation with seasoned Gin Rummy players because of the extra twists it introduces into game play and scoring.

Oklahoma Gin is not available in the demo version of Classic Gin Rummy.

To show the knock limit at any time during the game, you can choose "Show Max Knock Value" from the "Windows" menu.

"Show Max Knock Value" menu option

This will show you the maximum number of points with which you can knock, or, if the upcard was an ace, it will inform you that you must get Gin that hand.

Scoring in Oklahoma Gin

The second twist on the rules for Oklahoma Gin is that scores are doubled for a hand when the upcard is a spade. (When the upcard is a spade, and you're playing Oklahoma Gin, Classic Gin Rummy will remind you of this.)
