Several people have been reporting problem with the "Save" function of the game and having "Disconnected" pop up more often then not.
Having a laggy internet makes me have to go with that issues for quite some time now, and they can be annoying.
Back to your spin problem - When I have that, I wait. No way in hell I'm going back to menu. I can't spin, but I wait, check my internet (Hell, disconnect and connect again if you want, it works for me sometimes), click the "Disconnect" button (If you don't know it pops up a page where it checks your connection), so on, so on. That's all you can do really. Or you can refresh your page. If I remember, if your game didn't save anyway, that will make it so you can spin again. (IF I remember.)
