Ramino is one of the easiest card games to play, but that's what makes its more difficult to win. Ramino is fast becoming a popular online casino game too. The marvel of internet has brought this game from our living rooms to the virtual world. But the essence and feel of ramino is still the same traditional game play that we have been playing all our lives.

Most people don't know this, but the history of Ramino goes back to 1800s, when a variant of poker called Whiskey poker was played. The rules and strategies used in that game were very similar to that of Gin rummy that we play today. The game was given this name because it was generally played in bars and saloon and the losers used to pay for winners' alcoholic drinks.

Another belief says that ramino could've had originated from "Conquian" which was an old Mexican card game which was played as a family card game, before rummy and thus, might hold roots of modern day ramino.

Even though it's not hard to learn this game, but a thorough knowledge is critical ...
... to ensure consistent victory in the game. Follow these simple to ensure that you don't lose in online ramino:

1. Learn all the rules: Just as in any other online rummy card game, you must know all the rules of ramino to win. Develop your knowledge before you start playing.

2. Don't be too adventurous: Unless, until you've become an expert in ramino, don't take too many risks. Always try to play with more than two rummy or jokers.

3. Play in a good online casino: Make sure that the casino you choose is safe and fair. Research about it and try to contact other players participating in it. This will give you a fair idea about how legal and honest that particular casino is.

4. Keep an eye on the discards: Keep noticing the cards that are being discarded by other players. If you realize that a card that you need to complete a meld has been discarded by another player and you can't pick it up, change your strategy and start thinking about creating a new meld.

5. Manage your money: In order to ensure that you don't lose beyond a limit, make sure to put a limit on your spending. Before start playing, set a certain amount in your mind beyond which you won't be spending on the game. If you win, then you can add it that amount too. But once your balance drops below that determined amount, stop playing.

So, make sure that you manage a consistent winning streak and don't let the loss of one or two games in between, discourage you.
