Apparent problem with POGO Spades game

There appears to be a problem in POGO Spades. Tables are being created with multiple players that won't start the game after 4 players have come into the room. Sometimes it takes loading the tables up to 20 times and clicking out before an actual table will accept the "start" command.  Many, many players are experiencing this - I'm surprised that it appears it has not been reported yet. I would estimate it's been two or more weeks, so far.

Someone suggested that multiple players might be putting "holds" on tables after creating them, just to frustrate those trying to get onto table, but I'm not quite sure what that means. Just reporting that there is a problem going on with getting on to tables for many people, and it probably needs to be looked into

Thank you.

  • Players aren't holding up tables because if a table actually has 4 people it automatically starts.

    Plus, I often clicked on "start game" when it looked like 4 in a room and no one was there! 

    It's a program glitch.

    And it's taking more and more time to finally be able to sit at a table to play because (my guess) more are playing Spades.

    ►Open table chat as you try for a table.  If you see many names already, consider that table a DUD and try again.

    ►When you see few names or no names, consider that one working and stick around for less than a minute...more will join.  

  • @kittenchops01 Solution to stuck Spades table:. If blank table appears, start game when 2 players, 2/4 Players. As soon as player leaves, PRESS "PLAY ROBOT" "LEAVE GAME IMMEDIATELY (before new player can join. )This will terminate this Spades table
  • @SpadPro This also works from "lobby" while waiting for Spades players to join. If repeated NON-START of table, 3/4 and 4/4 Players, when 2/4 Players, and you have control to "Start," (2/4 Players), PRESS "Start Game", AS SOON AS PLAYER LEAVES, PRESS "PLAY ROBOT" and IMMEDIATELY leave game before the seat is taken. This WILL terminate this table (erase it)....this is not from a player holding a spot...it's originated (a "stuck" table), when a host presses "Play Robot" at the same time as a new player occupies the 4th seat. I figured this out because EA Pogo programmers are IDIOTS
  • July 2024, 3 yrs later. This has not been addressed or corrected. Also need to bring back the boot.
