Where can I play Gin online?

I've been looking at a few places but they are all ghost towns.

Anyone know of any good sites?

If you want to gamble against a gin bot just do it offline. Cheaper and easier.

Then you're not going to be able to play Gin on the Internet for money.

Is it a scam?

Oh you don't want to play for money? Just play at Yahoo then I guess?

And yeah I can't imagine any Gin gambling online that would not be dominated by cheaters.

Thanks for the advice.

I'm just practicing to then go out and find some bars or something in the city to play in....or is the game not popular enough as backgammon to not be able to find any?

That's odd, as I have not lost a game yet.

Wouldn't cheaters usually win?

Re: Where can I play Gin online?

Well at those stakes I would still expect people to be using, at minimum, memory aids to track perfectly every discard.

It's not a big leap from there to track every discard made by you.

And from there it's not hard to rule out melds and start piecing together what you have.

Combine that with knowing what's left in the deck and I'd think you're playing with a significant handicap.
