Across online playrooms and mobile apps, three distinct titles—Okrummy, classic Rummy 91 game, and the multiplier game Aviator—draw overlapping yet behaviorally divergent audiences. This observational study compares how players navigate rules, risk, and social cues across these environments. While Rummy and its Okrummy variant foreground combinational skill and memory, Aviator compresses attention into seconds-long risk decisions. Taken together, the trio shows how interface pacing and feedback loops shape not only outcomes but also competence and control.
Methods involved two weeks of unobtrusive observation in public lobbies, recorded across nine Rummy tables, seven Okrummy rooms, and twelve Aviator lobbies. We noted session lengths, chat logs, bet or meld timing, and visible interface prompts
