It’s OK

This game is ok. The ads spoil it. You not only have to watch an ad between every hand, but the stupid thing sits there frozen before the ad even comes on. What a waste of time! You play 1 minute for every 2 minutes of wasted time. They say you can pay for no ads, but reviewers say they paid and still get ads, so why would you?!
Why does my idiot partner pass me multiple nines when I win the bid?! Could he be any less helpful?! It feels like he’s trying to sabotage me!

Best pinochle game!

I love it

No pay

Don’t pay for no ads, I paid twice now and just got told I never paid.

Absolutely despise the characters but more so the commercials

Commercials are a waste. I get that you have to have them but GOD

Observations

1. Dealing—seems to be discriminatory. Programming will favor a team. Programming needs to be as random as live play with human players and real cards.

2. The computer players are unable to bid sensibly. They will bid themselves into default because the program tells them it should be their hand regardless of not being able to make the bid or going set.
