The Play
Each player is dealt 10 cards. The remaining cards are placed face down on the table, forming the stock pile and one card is placed face up next to the stock pile to form the discard pile.
At the beginning of his turn a player must draw a card either from the stock pile or from the discard pile and add it to his hand.
If a player has formed any melds (a matched set or a run), he may also lay them down on the table face up.
If the player does not wish to lay down a meld, he discards one card, face up, onto the discard pile.
If the stock pile runs out, the discard pile is re-shuffled and placed face down to form a new stock pile. The card discarded by the player who drew the last card of the old stock is placed face up beside the new stock to start the new discard pile.
During his turn, a player may add one or more cards from his hand to any meld already shown on the table. Thus, if threes are showing, he may add the fourth three;
if 
are showing, he may add

, 
or

There are a couple of ways to win Rummy: going out and going Rummy.
Going out - the first player to discard his last card (go out) wins.
Going Rummy - A player goes "Rummy" when he gets rid of all the cards in his hand at once, without previously having put down or laid off any melds or cards

Payout table for ring games:
The winner always gets at least 75% of the prize pool, the other 25% will be distributed to the rest of the players accordingly. These players' percentage is calculated by the proportion of their point to the winners' points, as long as they are less than 80 penalty points behind 1st place.
