Free - Play a quick game of Bridge Play Bridge - Video Poker style Play Bridge - 4 hands Click on the links above to play a quick mini game. Suitable for all skill levels. After playing each hand, I would like to be able to view all four hands. And see what the majority of other members bid, and how they played the hand.

I am sure something like this has been proposed in the past. When starting a table with three Gibs and paying the daily rate it would be nice if we could set the parameters for cards delt the same as we do when starting a bidding table. When playing in Gib tournaments South is always best hand. It would be nice if one could rent a table to practice and have the hands delt the same as in tournaments. Please let me know what you think on this.
