The parameters of the Spades game java applet include a parameter
called
server_map. This paramter contains the following information:

9@play.games.com:8017|8@play.games.com:8016|7@play.games.com:8013|6@play.games.com:8012|5@play.games.com:8009|4@play.games.com:8008|3@play.games.com:8005|2@play.games.com:8004|1@play.games.com:8001|0@play.games.com:8000

The command 'telnet play.games.com 8017' does connect to a server.

Open the following TCP ports to ensure access to the game:

8017, 8016, 8013, 8012, 8009, 8008, 8005, 8004, 8001, 8000

The above string suggests a prioritized list, with port 8017 given the
highest weight. You may be able to enable access to these ports on the
specified host (play.games.com) only, but the corresponding IP might
change or be assigned on a rotary basis.
