Pinochle - Online & offline Hack 1.18 + Redeem Codes

I play both canasta and pinochle mostly online with friends. I love the flexibility to change the settings to change up the game. For instance we just changed the value of all double marriages in all suits to 30 points. We have created a table online that we can easily access with our desired settings thus making it very easy for everyone to access the game. We pick certain times weekly and set up a conference call so we can talk and play the game at the same time.
Settings are easy to access. You can play off line also as well as games with random people but I don’t do that very often. Love the look of the game on the screen. After trump is set all trumps are moved to one end of your hand to remind you what is trump. You can go back a few hands to see what was played and I wish that could be turned off. I haven’t played the other games yet. Great game application! Thanks

I learned Pinochle in Prison, we don’t play with 9’s. This app has a very active table that plays by prison rules unlike other apps that play with 9’s. Only thing is people could be very toxic on here because they can speak to you via microphone on their phone. So here’s a cheat sheet for all you beginners

Pinochle (Q♠️,J♦️) 4 points/ 30 points/ 90 points (1x/2x/3x)

Marriage (KQ) in Any suit 2 points (4 points if Trump suit)

Run (A,10,K,Q,J) in Trump suit 15 points (+4 points for every extra marriage)

Aces Around (♠️♦️♣️♥️) Ace in every suit 10 points 2x(Thousand aces) 100 points

Kings Around (♠️♦️♣️♥️) King in every suit 8 points 2x(Eighty Kings) 80 points

Queens Around (♠️♦️♣️♥️) Queens in every suit 6 points 2x(Sixty Queens) 60 points

Jacks Around (♠️♦️♣️♥️) Jacks in every suit 4 points 2x(Forty Jacks) 40 points

Round House (KQ) in every suit 24 points (With a Run 35 points)

Round Robin (KQJ) in every suit 32 points (With a Run 43 points)

If your partner bids 10 above what the bid is that’s telling you he has a lot of meld. For instance bid is 65 your partner says 75 that means he has meld to back you up so take the bid if you got a good hand but not a lot of meld.

I have been playing this game for almost a year now. It is the best pinochle game that I have found in the App Store. I have requested several changes and no action has been taken. I would like to know if anyone else has noticed these issues:
My issues: 1 - when the opponent is trumping a suit, the computer continues to play back the suit that is being trumped, allowing the opposite team to score more points, which could potentially cause the bidding team to be set or miss their bid. It doesn’t matter which team is trumping, that is what happens. The correction- don’t feed the person trumping, play a different suit to try and reach your partner.
2- When the opponent calls a trump, when my partner gets in to play, if they have aces in the trump, they play all of their aces. We don’t want to help the other team, this gives them an advantage because they now know where the power for the hand is.
The correction - they should only lead with their aces in trump if they only have a very few trump.
Please fix, I like this game.

First: When playing computer opponent game, my partner constantly over bids me (70 plus) and opponent and have only 10 meld. Very frustrating when I have better cards! Your computer partner seems to bid against you. It should defer to the live player after computer partner is overbid by the live opponent 2x.

Second: I enjoy the online Friendly game where you periodically play with same people, the Robot is sometimes more intelligent than real players, if table not full with online players.

Third: Players on the online Rated game (when no openings in double deck Friendly table) are intimidating, seems to be very critical and use bad language, but I can play on par with them. I learned this game from my dad who was in the military, not necessarily a prison game to me. Subtle changes, like no bad language or Name calling would make it more enjoyable, but I do love playing the game.

You get banned because losers take this game to serious oh I lost a crown hahahahahahaha. Played a game yesterday and a guy took all the wait time to bid and pass 4 cards and play his first card was literally 8/9 mins before first card was played in the game. I asked to hurry up the game it was going to be a long one at the rate he was playing. His response was he was just settling in and quit (swearing) and was quite rude. So I hit delay chat messages and stop room chat. Just to finish game and get private messaged and harassed by this person then 2hours later boom I get kicked out and blocked because according to customer service I broke rules by asking someone to play faster and turning off chat. I have over a 1000 games played on this app without a issue. But word of mouth from a slow grumpy anger management person flips out on me then gets me banned for asking them to play faster. This is ridiculous. I can’t wait till this week is over to report him and everyone else that acts like him, just to keep your support team busy.

This game is rigged and set up for you and your partner to lose. Computer opponents always have ridiculously high meld allowing them to bid well into the 70’s on a regular basis. Rarely get a decent hand and even more rare to get a great one but when you do the computer has a better one. The computer get double queens, kings and aces at least once every 7-10 games and double pinochles at least 3 times a game leaving you to struggle to bid 60. Partner sometimes throws the game by playing a suit that you are boss in and allowing it to get trumped sometimes even costing the hand. Multiple times partner has made a bid and went set which is part of the game but this happens too often to not notice. Statistics are false readings in the game saying that you have a higher percentage over your opponents but on a regular basis they have a 10 out of the 16 aces that are dealt to them along with a run for them to call trump or even meld to go in any suit they desire. Love playing pinochle hate being cheated.

I played this religiously for days upon end when I wasn’t working for a couple of months . There are some people who cheat which hey , not every game is going to be fair . But one night upon getting home from work , I decided to play a game and my partner did everything in his : her power to throw the game . Upon questioning why , I was hit with a one day ban . I instantly emailed support and deleted the app . Just don’t have time for abuse of power from people who are considered admin material . I consider my time valuable and am a positive part of the community . For things like that to happen are just wrong .

The community for the most part is awesome , although somewhat weird . All in all the best app for IPhone users but not worth it if your progress and time is arbitrary at the hands of vindictive people . I would recommend other apps or playing online elsewhere .

Update - t his has to be the most frustrating game out there! Just went through another game where opponents have massive melt every hand, opponents partner always has at least 2 of their trump aces, and they consistently have most of the aces. Since I have been playing this game there have been 3 double runs; all of them by the opponents. There is absolutely no way the dealing in this game can be random.

The game seems to play pretty well once bidding is done. However, it is a wonder I have not smashed my expensive iPad on the table because of the way the hands are dealt. The opposition AIs seem to get an inordinate amount of meld and aces every hand. It is also amazing how the opponents always know which suit to lead when finishing their aces; the ALWAYS bypass my team unless it is one of the rare hands my team has aces around. It also seems like 4 aces in a single suit will always go through, if those 4 aces were sitting in the opposition’s hand.

Hands are unrealistic. Meld is almost nonexistent except for the dummy opponents. I suppose it’s good practice, but not much fun to have hands with no meld every time. Playing against real people on here is just a waste of time. They are either to slow or they quit in the middle of the game. Are the hands computer generated? Seems odd that the computer hands always have plenty of meld to your nothing, and every hand. Real pinochle is not like that. And how does the computer players know which aces I have and which ones their opponents have. I’ve watched the cards and even when there are no lead backs and nothing on the table when the meld is shown, they always get through to their partner, not realistic....uninstalled.

Devs I challenge you to reply, I can even send you video screen shots of how true all my comments are. Go with the other Pinochle app made by “Strategy” if you’re looking for a more realistic and fair version playing against AI. This app is a joke when it comes to AI...your partner outbids you when they have very little points, you have to adjust the aggressiveness level on the opponent bids...like seriously? Just make it realistic...why is that even an option? To force you to be risky?...I had Marta continuously outbid me in the high 20’s with a 2 point meld...that’s not realistic at all. Naturally I got set because of the high bid. Then there’s the fairness aspect...the opponent AI literally gets near all the Aces every single game, I am not kidding...you may get a decent bidding hand every now and again. Please stay away from this app and go with the one stated previously.
