Looking for Industry Contacts – Unique Rummy Game with Crypto Tournaments

Hi everyone,

I’m back with a new game concept — this time for the online space. I’m looking to connect with anyone who has strong, active ties to leading companies such as Playtika, Rovio, Huuuge Games, or Moon Active.

The idea is a single-player 10-card rummy game with a unique gameplay twist, designed around 24-hour daily tournaments. It includes crypto prize options and can also leverage in-app purchases, especially now that this is permitted following the recent Appcharge court decision.

I believe the game has the potential to become both highly popular and profitable if developed by the right partner. I’m open to discussing a fair profit-share arrangement with interested parties.

Your concept is genuinely intriguing, the blend of 10-card rummy, daily crypto tournaments, and the new flexibility with in-app purchases creates a very compelling niche. Connecting directly with major studios can be challenging, but a targeted approach is key.

In addition to reaching out to those companies, I'd recommend building a visible proof of concept. One effective way is to get the APK listed on popular, trusted platforms where early adopters and industry scouts actively look for innovative rummy apps. This not only validates demand but can also attract organic partnership interest.

For instance, a centralized hub where enthusiasts go for the latest and most unique apps can be a great asset. You might find it useful to list your game on a site like rummy all apps download, which caters specifically to players seeking new and noteworthy rummy applications. This kind of exposure can help demonstrate user interest and functionality directly to potential partners.

Best of luck, this sounds like a standout project.

Hey Harris

very sad if AI is taking over in such a way in forums and other places. I am not against AI but in this case yes.

sadly no one showed any interest in my really unique idea with millions of rummy players in many countries

I don’t think anyone showed interest because you didn’t explain your game’s unique twist.

Also I don’t know anyone who plays rummy other than my grandmother and she definitely isn’t interested in cryptocurrency casinos

Fair enough!

why should I explain the unique twist? so everyone can take the idea and earn millions? sorry but I am not that stupid.

crypto prizes is just one way as prizes could be in any currency.

I googled and asked like ELI 5 = how many rummy players are out there in the world?

the answer is

While there is no single, exact global census of rummy players, it is recognized as one of the most popular card games in the world, with millions of active players engaging in both offline and online formats

India: India is the largest market for online rummy, with over 76% of surveyed individuals in some studies reporting that they play, indicating millions of users. One operator alone reported 17-18 million players across its platforms.

Global Distribution: While India leads in online engagement (40% of online rummy traffic), other significant markets include the United States (20%), Southeast Asia (15%), Europe (10%), and the Middle East (5%).

The combination of traditional, offline, and online, real-money gaming means that the total number of people who play some form of rummy is vast, often referred to in the "millions" rather than a specific, countable figure

Google Play Store will also tell you something regarding popularity of Rummy apps

By the way, you should explain to your grandmother what crypto is, and more importantly, what Bitcoin is, and how much it will be worth in 10+ years. You should also learn more about Bitcoin, as it is the future. Just a friendly tip!

Wishing your grandmother the best of health — grandmothers are and were the most important people in children's evolution.

I've slways found 500 to be enjoyable, but I can't see enjoying it as a single player game. The competition makes it interesting for me.

Best of luck!

Thanks for your input. I'm not sure if I understood you correctly, but what's wrong with daily tournaments with hundreds or thousands of participants who can see their live rankings and act accordingly, with very high cash prizes? I'm sorry that I can't explain the twist.

I see nothing fundamentally wrong with your game idea.

Is it a game I think I would play? No, I am not interested in playing a tournament format. I enjoy competing against a few other players for a short game and moving on.

Do you have a patent? I’m guessing not.
There are multiple threads discussing patents for new games here.
Most end up with the warning that the most likely outcome is you will spend money that you will never recoup. But there are obviously success stories like PaiGow Dan, Mr. CasinoGames, Switch, etc…

You mentioned 4 companies you are aware of that might be of help? Have you tried reaching out?

To be frank, I have no idea how to patent a game like my rummy idea — it's just a twist that hasn't been done before. It's not a casino game.

I have sent cold emails to four companies, but have not received an answer. I think the problem is that companies and individuals do not think it is possible to come up with a unique twist for such an old game. Trust me, this game would be a money-printing machine for such well-known companies that build and offer game apps.

Now that you have asked, and an AI has revived my old thread, an idea has come to mind. There is only one person I would trust to explain the idea, and then perhaps he could give his opinion on whether it really is a unique twist and a moneymaker for the right company. He might even be able to find a fair way to make the idea a reality.

Everyone on this forum knows him, so only one guess is allowed :)
