Gin Rummy Rules are HERE
Some short-hand game options: L - 'Loser deals' (which means that the winner of the previous hand will move 1st in the next hand)
Gin - Gin-only variation - every winning hand should have pure gin, otherwise it will be a draw
Okl - Oklahoma variation - see rules
100/10 200/10 , etc. - regular gin rummy with 100 points, 200 points where knocking is allowed with 10 points in deadwood or less - see gin rummy rules above

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
