??? The quick tip is that in canasta you had to finish the games to keep red 3's. In Pinochle all you have to do is bid and choose a trump if it asks you. then when it moves to let you start playing, stand up and sit down. That will restart the game, but you'll get to keep pinochles and be closer to your rank. Pressing score on the bottom right, tells you what rank your on and how close you are to the next rank. Cheers O0 and hope this helps everyone. At til pogo changes it probably. :'(
UPDATE: After fiddling around with the glitch. I figured out you don't even need to wait for anything. As soon as cards are dealt you just need to press new game and keep playing like that and you'll still keep pinochles. If you check and you don't see it saying you went from 18 pinochles needed to 17 or 16 needed, that means that neither you nor tin head got any pinochles last game. Also when it reaches to where you check score and it says you will reach next rank after this last game. You need to play the last game. I restarted over and over and it wouldn't move me to next rank until i played that last game. I also don't know if this works with other people as I play alone with bots. If anyone tries this with human players and it still works, let me know. I'm rank 5 now. First badge rank 10 or you can get a badge by playing rated games and becoming intermediate and master, etc.
It boots me out of room when i stand up :(
Ok where is the new game button lol cant find it anywhere in the game lol
i see no new game either...everytime i stand and sit my pinochles go up it said 1 till level 2 now it says 4....lol
yes sircheats said. There is no new game button. You have to stand up and sit down and you keep the pinochles if you and tin head got any.
Thanks for the tip!!! O0
when i sit up & sit down again, it doesn't advance my stats if i get a pinochle.
Is there another way to get it? :'(
Mannnn...i bet this wont last long ...makes it real easy...its gonna suck having to play the ranks when they fix it after getting these levels so easy this way..lol
Oh and kinda funny how it knows how many pinochles ur gonna get before it even deals ...can anyone say predetermined?...lol
its not working for me either ughhhhhh!
ok now it is lol I had to get beyond rank 2 for it to work for me
do ya have to win the game for them to count ...twice it said after this game you will be level 4....so i played the games (lost to puter) and it said 3 more till level 4 again
you have to get pinochles. if you don't get any pinochles it won't advance. just like canasta. you didn't always get red 3's every hand. but since the maximum you can get is 2 pinochles each game, many times you don't get any. I didn't get any for 3 or 4 games one time.
Hey guys, how did you get to play pinochle? I can only preview it. Help?
go to where you edit your favorites..
I noticed a few problems in this damn game >:(. Biggest one is that I played rank 4, five times before making it to rank 5 and then i had to redo rank 7 a few times as well. It seems that if you don't bid and then go to the next screen where they show you all the cards, it will make you redo the rank. If i do that every game, standing up and sitting down to restart game, then when i play the last hand I finally move to next rank. Hope this helps anyone who had those problems. Sometimes it seems like it makes you redo rank no matter what. Had a friend have that problem on rank 3. And a few times i didn't get the credit for getting a pinochle or 2. But the game is new. hopefully they'll fix game without realizing the glitch ::)

Me too. Did we do something different?
i hit score, and all it tells me is "After this game, you will be rank 1" :(
Another little glitch.
As you are standing and sitting, you do not have to keep opening up your score card.
Open it once and place the window next to the table window and watch what happens.
As you stand and sit it will tell you how many more pinochles you need till your next rank.
I hope you understand, if not I can go into more detail.
i tried that but after i get down to 1 left i play it out and it starts back over to 17 games to go again when the hand is over ::)
you have to win the hand
Even with having to repeat some ranks I'm rank 15 now. Got first badge last night on rank 10. I'm hoping to finish this game before pogo fixes glitch. One of the things that work is, I finish a whole game when i get to 8 or less pinochles left til next rank. That way if it makes your repeat the rank instead of sending you to the next you won't start all over again.

Does not work for me either. After bringing it down to 2 more pinochles to next rank ie. rank 4, I actually played and won the game.
But it did not stay that way. Went back to 6 pinochles to rank 4 after that. grrrrr. Oh well, guess we have to play the the regular way.
ya pogo needs to fix some stuff i had to repeat a couple ranks im only rank 9 now should be at least 12 lol o well
ok i have found if i keep my score window open and make the bid on every hand,after bidding i close the show of cards and stand and sit ..i keep doing this (bidding everytime) until it says after this game i will be next rank...when im on that i play the last game and win or lose i'm getting the next rank the first try everytime.(just did it for 5 ranks in a row)
I found if i try without making the bid everytime it looks like my pinochles are going down on the scorecard but they really are not.
i wanna put this game threw a window i had about 17 pinocles to cash in n pogo pulls a quicky n semi freezes >:D :'( this is about the 5th time that has happened all i want is rank 10 is that so hard to ask lol......wtg sir at least someone benifits from this
i dont understand ur concept sir do u even have a pinocle or is it just another scam to get it faster????
I think pogo fixed it , I keep losing my room when I try and stand up , never happed to me before : )
its still workin as far as i can see....

Odd I even just did the double browser thing and it still kicked me outta the room , I can't switch partners ugh
maybe it's your popup blocker?
I think the problem is that if you click practice with robots it kicks you out. What you need to do is go into a room and start a private game. Make sure you assign a password because I forgot and had a fartknocker come in on me while I was trying to cheat.
If you make a room click the allow players to watch then you can stand n sit no prob. Just pw protect the room.
The stand up, sit down cheat still works. I'm on rank 20 now. Sorry for those of you that had problems. I got kicked out of my table a few times too. That's why as we go up to doing more and more pinochles I play a game all the way through, win or lose it saves you. If you don't finish a game and leave the table it will start that rank back over. Oh and Sircheats, you got the idea ;) thats exactly how to get the game to go to next rank and not make you repeat the same rank over and over again. O0
Plus I was wondering how come you need 400 pinochles to reach rank 20, and then it jumps to 1400 to get to rank 30. Well as I got to rank 20 I realized why. Ranks 15-19 I think needs 25 pinochles to reach next rank, but as soon as I got to rank 20 (got 2nd badge by the way) I now need 100 pinochles :'(. And did the math that means rank 20-29 needs 100 pinochles :o for each rank. I'm afraid to find out how many we'll need when we get to rank 30 ???
100 per rank for 20-30...thats just insane...it's taking me about 50 games per game at 10-20 right now ....if ya ask me pogo is just saying if ya want these badges you better go to www.wordz or www.badgehelp and pay up!
I can just imagine how long it would take to get 100 playing the full game..its a long game to play btw.
I've been playing game in normal fashion and have been stuck on rank 7 with 12 to go for 5 hours...but i dont mind too much,i will be soon cheating at it O0
Any issues getting from rank 2 to rank 3 ?
I've tried the cheat way, and I've played normal.
I can't get up in rank

Pogo just did an update today and I'm having the same issue. Just give it a couple days.....
i dont think this game wants me to reach rank 10 cause i was on rank 9 n had 23 pinocles to cash in wich brought me way into rank 10 win the game wam back to beging hafta start rank 9 over agin :-[ :-\ :'(
I had that problem getting from rank 3 to rank 4 but i did notice that it works a lot better if you bet/pass and wait till its' your turn to play then hit stand... i haven't had problems that way yet.. :)
I guess people using the glitch were bragging about it and it's been reported to Pogo.
They've fixed it now and you can't use the stand/sit method to advance your ranks.
Has anyone else found any other glitches??
Just, it did the same thing to me. It said I had advanced to next rank but will not give it to me. I am not sure if Pogo found out the glicht yet. O0
They fixed the glitch. You have to play out the game to get credit for your pinochles. :'(
Oh No, :( Pogo has fixed the stand up- sit down, I tried this morning and just did it for 3 of them then decided to sit down and play the hand-yep, you guessed it they took me right back to where I was, minus the pinochles I made in the hand. Dang, and I only had time to get to level 20..... :'(
Pogo has not fixed it yet. You can do the stand and sit thing until you get to the next rank..to actually get to that next rank you must play a game out....but the trick is...you have to WIN that game or your pinochle count is reset so you have to play the entire rank again.
EZ >:D
QUICK PLEASE someone help me before this Pinochle helper is stopped. When I stand up from the game I dont see a 'SIT' button I am thrown out of the room when it asks me 'IF I WANT TO LEAVE THE GAME' I am on rank 3 WHAT AM I DOING WRONG'????/ Thank you :-[
If it's still working for you, then what am I doing wrong?!?!?!? It worked for me before
and now it's not. HELP
Drat, I totally missed this glitch. I got to level 20 on my own and then find this post too late. You can do the sit/stand if you have another person at the table sitting or watching. (watch option has to be on) I tried doing this glitch, got the count down but when I won the game to move up the next rank all the pinochle collected were gone. I collected 85+ pinochle to move to the next rank too, ugh! A dollar short, a day late. :(
I got all the way to 28 with the glitch. I didn't even have anyone in the room. I would just keep sitting and standing after the meld page went down. It worked fine. When I got down to the last pinochle before changing ranks, I'd play the game out. I can't get it to work that way now. I'm having to play to get credit for the pinochles.
I only just realized this sorry, but those who get kicked out of room when they stand, you should check and see if you have allow players to watch, if you don't you get kicked when you try to stand up.
:-\ is this still working? :o
Did u know that another glitch is in mahjong...when you get to the boar at the end of the zodiac get half way through & then click new game. this will give you credit for completing the zodiac. just keep doing this and u will finish all ranks in no time. I tried this in more than one room and it works almost all the time
