Spades
Daily , Weekly & Semi-Weekly Jackpot Rules
THE CARDS:
1. 52 card deck.
2. Rank - Ace (high), K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2.
3. Spades always trump.
STARTING THE GAME:
1. There is no deal.
2. Cards are shuffled, cut and placed face down in the center
of the table to form the stock.
3. Building Your Hand: You will be presented with the top card
from the Stock. If you want this card, it goes into your hand,
then you will see the next card of the Stock which will be discarded
to begin the Discard Pile. If you do not want the first card
drawn from the Stock, discard it, and the next card will be
put into your hand. This process continues until the entire
Stock has been exhausted. You will then have built a hand of
thirteen cards. The discard pile is put aside and not used in
subsequent play.
THE PLAY:
1. All Rounds consists of 3 hands, except Go-For-The-Gold, which consists of 7 hands.
2. After looking at and analyzing your cards, you will register
your bid for the exact number of tricks you expect to win (out
of thirteen possible).
3. Lead card can be any suit except Spades. Spades may not be
led until they have been "broken" by a Spade discard
on a previous trick, (unless you have only spades left in your
hand).
4. You must always follow suit if possible. If you are unable
to follow suit you may play any card you wish including trumping
in with a Spade.
5. A trick is won by the highest trump (spade), or by the highest
card of the suit led.
6. Players keep each trick they take, which when matched with
their bid determines their score for that hand.
SCORING:
1. For each hand that you make or exceed your bid you will receive
10 points for each trick taken up to what you have bid. Plus
you will receive 1 point for each trick in excess of your bid.
(For example if you bid 7 tricks and take 9 tricks you would
receive 72 points for that hand).
2. If your recieve more than 4 bags (excess tricks over your
bid) you will be penalized 10 points for each bag. (example:
6 bags = 60 penalty points)
3. On hands that you fail to make your bid you will be penalized
10 points times your bid. (For example, if you bid 7 tricks
and take 6 tricks you would be penalized 70 points for that
hand).
4. To qualify for the Playoff Tournament, a player must obtain
a Silver, Gold or Platinum Status in one of the Go-For-The-Gold Rounds played.
