If you are playing in Group games and are designated Table Leader (ie, you have the Start Game button on your screen), please give your tablemates time to join the table prior to starting the game. Players cannot join mid-game. We recommend waiting FIVE MINUTES for latecomers, in case someone is having technical difficulties. This time can be used to get to know your tablemates.
For players attempting to join the game once it is underway, you’ll receive notification that you can only join once the current game has been completed. Several things will happen at the end of the current game:
- Those already at the table will receive notification that you are attempting to join the table and they are asked to give you time to do so (the "Start Next Game" button will be disabled for 30 seconds to ensure that everyone sees this notification and we also recommend waiting at least a couple of minutes if those joining have not made it in within that time)
- You will receive notification (along with a ‘ding’) that the game has ended and that you are now able to join. Please click the Join Table button on your screen.
- At this point, your tablemates will see you begin to appear as you take the place of a bot at the table - you will initially have 3 dots spinning over your image until all connections are made and your video and audio channels are active.
