I have always loved card games and I know it comes from my Father because when I was young he would lock my brothers in the car so Mama couldn’t interfere and teach them to play poker and take all their money, unfortunately I also inherited his love of gambling. I tend to be more conservative now that I’m more mature, but I can still get caught up with the fever on occasion.

I am relearning the rules on how to play spades right now. I remember playing that with our friends and we always had so much fun until my first husband would get mad at me for not bidding right, he always took everything so seriously. Bill doesn’t like playing games or cards so that’s not something that I can share with him and he’s not a gambler, but he knows I am.

I found Spadester.com and have been reading over their site and they show you how to play and they have a user guide that’s easy to understand. I just downloaded the software and was watching the players play, that was a simple process and I got a little engrossed with watching the match. I don’t have the confidence yet to jump right in even though it’s play money, but when I pick up my technique and strategy again I will.

There’s no limitation on the software. It’s free to download and free to play and they give a $1000.00 bankroll so I can play for fun. When I feel confident that I’m good enough I can switch over if I want to and play with my real money. When I first downloaded they gave me a bonus code I can use to get a 100% bonus from them when and if I decide to use real money so of course I had to check and see how I could withdraw my winnings.

The easiest and cheapest for me is to use a prepaid Mastercard because if they send a check you would have to pay courier costs and by wireless to my bank it could cost up to 30 dollars. I’m not cheap, but I am frugal and I like to have all my winnings intact. With the prepaid they would just return it to the card and I can get it out at any ATM.

I can also fund my account with that same prepaid card, which would keep me under control with the amount I want to use. They have some articles that will help refresh my game and they also provide a forum. You can chat and make friends while you play, but I haven’t tried that yet. You can also create your own table and that’s easy to do or you can join one that is already available.

You have to pay the fee to join the table, whatever it’s set at and you can see how much you are playing for to win. The house has a service charge set between 10% and 15% which doesn’t sound unreasonable and we all know the house has to have it’s cut for providing the service and fun. There are different game levels to choose from. When you check out this site be sure that you read the terms and fair gaming pages.
