For information on the cartoon character Gin Rummy, see Gin Rummy

Gin rummy (or Gin for short) is a simple and popular two-player card game created by Elwood T. Baker in 1909. Gin, which evolved from 18th-century Whiskey Poker (according to John Scarne), was created with the intention of being faster than standard rummy, but not as spontaneous as knock rummy.
