9 screens to click out of to play 1 game, then forced ad, then 4 more screens, then another ad. every game. I don't think I've ever had to click so many buttons just to get to a game. a far as gameplay this is one of the worst. the game says you're playing humans but basically every gam falls into 1 of 3 strategies that never change or adapt, feeling like a really poorly built game from the 90s. early levels are super easy, then later levels are blatantly rigged to force you to buy coins.

Don't buy coins! A total waste of money. You will lose the majority of your games due to a rigged dice roll system. You will play against some people but mostly bots. Game has great graphics but its frustrating to lose the way you do when your so called opponent somehow always rolls exactly what the need to win. I enjoy the game but I would play elsewhere!!!!! Hope this helps. All of the reviews tell the story!

absolutely scam. very hard to win any games cause of the cheating that goes on. all that is happening is losing all credits just for ads to pop up way way to many times wanting you to buy more credits to continue playing just to turn around and lose them just for more ads to pop up wanting you to buy more. don't download unless you plan on buying credits just to play. total scam 100%

This game was fun at first, but it's definitely rigged. You win a lot at first. After a while, it's almost impossible to win. The opponents (bots?) always roll the exact combination needed, but you hardly ever will. Your opponent will roll doubles consistently, but you will almost never get doubles unless it's a number that doesn't help you at all. When your opponent offers to double the bet, you can definitely bet you're going to lose. They say the rolls are random, but I highly doubt it!

what sucks is that I enjoy some of the games, but everything is super rigged. I started noticing it last month after I made a few coin purchases the amount of coins I needed to play the games I like slowly increased. then I noticed that they would announce a coin "deal" for so many hours if I closed the game out and reopen it 15-20min late the price will have dropped. it feels like the algorithm is saying hey you spent that much last time why you spend a little bit more this time. uninstall 😒

The game is rigged when playing with the bots. Also purchased the holloween pass and it marked 3 of my rewards as claimed even though I never claimed it yet. The game is a complete rip off and waste of money. Definitely not worth it. The only way to play is to buy coins even though its an alleged "free" game. Half way my fault too for not reading the reviews 1st. If you aren't playing a real person, which is 90% of the time, you will lose every time.

there's something wrong with the dice roll software. Every single game my opponent rolls doubles four out five times in one game. Every game. It's like it's setting me up to lose? I'm not trying to be a poor sport, but I've played backgammon IRL with very good players, and I've never lost this much. I've also never been so close to winning until my opponent rolls two or three doubles in a row and end up winning at the last minute. meanwhile, if I roll one double a game I'm lucky. uninstalling

This app used to be good. But the greedy creators of this app are bombarding us with so much ad that you can't play the game no more. As soon as one game is done, the ad pops up and takes you out of the game constantly so you don't have a choice to continue playing with the opponent. Because ads direct you out of the the game! It's ridiculous. I hope they fix this problem soon.

This game is definitely skewed to people who pay for the game. I have played games where I get the same roll over and over [eg 1-2], while my opponent rolls doubles. I have played games where I get hit on every turn of my opponent. There's no way this would happen in a fair game. This is just some of my complaints with the game. It is clearly not fair to those who merely watch the ads in order to play free.

Maybe I am not aware how, or if, you can choose which die to move first. If the game chooses which die to move first and gives you no option when both have the ability to move the spaces available, then I would advise to find another game. it's thoughtless to not give the player the option to move either of the moves rolled on the dice and for the most part, and maybe this is just random, but for the most part the game leaves you out to hang. This seems insignificant but it's not.

11th update and almost a year llater. Ive been reviewing for 3 years now. Still a scheme to make you lose coins and waste money. You can't even play the additional games they have because in order to be able to keep playing you have to play the lowest bets possible which makes the game less enjoyable. And the lower bets don't give you the albums you need to play the additional games. All a scheme. Read the other reviews. The more you spend the more luck your opponent has. 0 stars if I could

this game was listed on testerup. but it doesn't list that a purchase is required for play. After you deplete your coins you are forced to watch ads or make a purchase. Ads are everywhere and a part of play to earn platforms. But in their case. the ads redirect the players to the site of the advertisement but once a player escapes the ad they're returned to the game without the promised reward.

The most frustrating game ever. Is really fun for a while. They do a decent job of making it fun early to get you to buy coins to up your levels. Then you go on 30 game losing streaks regardless of how well you play. Opponents (bots) get crazy combinations of dice or 4 doubles in a row to end the game over and over again. If yo happen to play another real person it's very fun, but hard to tell sometimes. The game itself was very well designed and works well.

Fun game. Like most reviews that I've read, it seems as though if you don't spend money, you will not win. I've been in many matches where the opponent either gets perfect rolls or multiple doubles. The purchase ads are too much when logging on. Trying to get the update now but, so far, it will not update. Oh well, there are more games out there!

Every time I've won an entire album I've lost it all back in usually 1-2 weeks. Game play is severely slanted for you to loose your coins, then you get bombarded with ads to buy coins. It's simply amazing how many times the opponent can roll a combo with both dice and get exactly what's needed to hit your chip. Example: You have your opponent on the bar and the 1 spot is the only thing open spot, and you have a chip in the 7th spot. Boom, they'll roll a 1 and 6.

Way too many billboards when signing in. And in the newest update, if you don't share your FB friends they force you to reconnect to FB everytime you open the app. And when doing so, they hope you just reconnect without editing their access because they've defaulted the friends list access to "on". To keep my friends list private, I now have four extra steps just to be able to play. No means no! Update; I agree with all others who say there is nothing random about the RNG.

The odds are stacked against you. I constantly play opponents that somehow hit "miracle rolls" all the time. My win percentage is 35%. I truly believe the app is designed to keep you losing so you can buy more coins. I've lost a lot of matches, but not because I don't know how to play. I lost a match to an opponent who started the game by rolling doubles 4 times in a row and finished by rolling doubles 3 times in a row. I got doubles once that match. Similar things happen quite regularly.

Awesome game awful set up. You lose more game money than you ever win back. For instance on a 200 game it costs you 200 to play. Then if you lose it subtracts another 200 for losing. But if you win, you get your original 200 for playing and then just a few coins for winning. Should be an even pot. Each player puts in 200. Winner takes the pot. And it also continuously pops up trying to get you to buy more coins.

I feel like a lot of this game is rigged and you are playing the computer most of the time. I won 19 out of my first 20 games, and now it is less than 20%. Plus, my opponent always gets timely doubles. Don't like how you have to accept challenges or you lose. Just like slots. It's easy to keep 'it fair' when the majority of players are the house.

I play this often but you have to be prepared for AT LEAST SIX POP UP ADS IN A ROW, and then AFTER THAT - just when you get your bonus or something else - SOME MORE POP UP ADS COME UP - MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT HAVE YOUR PHONE OR TABLET ON AUTO PURCHASE! Also, sometimes the opponent gets doubles like 4 or 5 times in a row. I asked them about it, and they said it's a random algorithm ... well that's a little "heinke" to me in my opinion. And also, I do NOT like when it moves our pieces for us - because like another review I read said - they do it so fast I don't even know what happened! They need to stop with ALL the ads! That part is HORRIBLE.
