Description
Improve your skills and become a Pinochle pro! Play single or double deck games with three different difficulty levels so you can work your way up to playing like a pro. Pinochle Classic has many settings so you can configure the game to play with whichever rule variations you prefer including: single/double deck, scoring in multiples of ten, game winning score, minimum bid, passing cards count, hints, undo button, and adjustable game play speeds for slow, standard, or fast play.
If you are new to the game, Pinochle Classic has an interactive tutorial to teach you how to play by guiding you through a single round of a game.
An analyze button can be turned on to help you evaluate your hand and pick a smart bid by simulating thousands of games and showing you likely round score outcomes. A hint button can be turned on to help you see what card the computer Pro player would play in your situation. Extensive statistics are kept for wins/losses, average contract, average meld, and average counters and success rate in making your bid.
All cards are dealt randomly to all players, so the difference between the Easy, Standard, and Pro computer players is in how well they remember what cards have been played and how they choose to play the cards they are dealt.

Your "Partner" Will Drive You Nuts!
Look, this game is ok
Your "Partner" is gonna drive you crazy, tho
Especially in pro mode, your partner will out bid you then pass the bid to the opposition. I first started playing this app a couple years ago and then have recently come back to it. In pro mode, your partner is booby trapping 75% of the time. You have to be forceful and take bad bid strategy cuz the partner AI will definitely let you down.
There is another problem, too. The name of this game is Pinochle! Not highest cards in a run! If you call trump as spades and are holding a Q of spades and two J of diamonds and your partner is holding for example A, 10, K, Q of spades; the AI will pass the the A, 10, K!!!
Noooooooooo! That is not how you play Pinochle! Pass the Q for dbl Pinochle...I am ready to quit this game again!
Decent but flawed
Decent recreation of Pinochle, but it is missing the rule which states that you can’t use trump cards until trumps is broken. Without this, the AI plays all of its trump cards immediately with no strategic thought.
Still decent, but this rule is heavily missed
Really nice implementation
Really enjoying this just as I am with the other games from this developer. Nice, smooth. Great tutorial. Elegant in its simplicity of UI. Originally got to learn how to play but now I can’t put it down! Finding the evaluation button very helpful as a beginner. Now I need to stop using it and walk on my own two feet and see how I do.
