You may have noticed, we have started experimenting with a new feature we're calling "Pinochle Live" that lets you watch live games in progress as a spectator. On the Pinochle.Net homepage or the table view page, if you notice the Watch icon you can click on ongoing games and jump in to watch other people play. We decided not to show players hands to avoid cheating but you can watch the bids, passing, melds and tricks and they happen. This new feature is still in beta and may have some bugs. We are still working on a Cutthroat version and hope to release soon. We may add this capability to the app but for now it's only available on the website.
