Spades Trickster Game Jogatina

Update #3 when I win a game, the app adds the points earned but then immediately subtracts them. I’ve gone from close to 30,000 points to less then 10,000. Should run out soon. Another update (#2): I bet and the points are taken away but never opens a game. Just lost 1800 points three times and still no game opens up. Update: So tired of large ads covering keyboard so you cannot bet, or play. Can’t tell other players why you can’t play either (or leave game) as everything is under ad that covers at least the bottom 1/3 of phone screen. Also game locks up many times after a win so you don’t get your points earned. PLEASE JUST GO BACK TO PLAY WITHOUT HAVING TO BET and GETTING MISPROGRAMMED BOTS to ENSURE LOOSING. Did not like that I had to sit through yet ANOTHER ad each day to earn coins I’d never use to bet. Just want to play the card game. But low and behold, the game now only gives me the option to bet coins (cannot try to play with others on line) and I’m seeing the bots are being sure I loose. I ‘bet’ once I run out of coins, the game is going to ask me to purchase coins. Why not just let people play the game? Looks like soon I’ll be moving on to another spades game.

Great game but there should be two modes: one for people who actually have experience playing spades and one for beginners. I have been paired with countless inexperienced players who are completely clueless how to play - like trumping you’re partner when they have a trick all but won, holding cards until late and giving the opposition the chance to force them out instead of using them early to force your opponent to react, this not making their bid, and not taking tricks early to hit your bid and waiting until it’s too late. Some even going blind nil when desperation sets in despite there being less than 10 bids on the table. A lot hold high spades until the end and also go over bid like they’re trying to get bags. And then, of course, there are the knuckleheads who bid zero and don’t make it and then bail on the game right after. As for pace of game, there’s way too much time on the timer, especially for the bid process. Knock five seconds off. Otherwise game is great when I find partners who aren’t complete morons.

I played the game before this last update. After the update I find the game to be faster moving, but sometimes herky-jerky in the movements of the cards, and the cards and numbers are so small they are harder to read on my phone. Further, this new version causes the game to freeze and it disconnects me. This occurs almost every game. It has worked better more recently, but the screen has frozen a couple of times during a game, and then when a few minutes have gone by I am able to get a screen back, it says I have quit the game and am penalized for 15 minutes for having done so. This is quite frustrating.
