I’d have to agree with ‘Rigged Rip Off’ review. At risk of sounding like a disgruntled loser, I feel the need to mention the obvious. There’s nothing random about the roll of these dice. As with most dice games there’s a certain amount of luck involved and despite having a good grasp of the game, skill doesn’t count. It’s pretty predictable just when you have yourself set to take out your opponent and there’s only one specific combination of two numbers that will see your opponent escape, those two numbers will magically appear. This happens for and against. The algorithm is never more clearly visible than when leaving your base no, 5 uncovered. 9 times out of 10 your opponent will roll a five. A tad predictable and I can’t help but wonder if I paid to play would the odds be stacked more in my favour. I accept that it’s rigged to make money for its developers and use it to practice for real 1:1 games with friends on my board.

If the game wasn’t rigged so you have to lose, the developers would not put the “double” button so close to the “roll” button ... so many players come out of chat and accidentally hit the “double” button when they are in a totally unwinnable position - why would they be stupid enough to double. HEY DEVELOPER?RESPONSE TO DEVELOPER: Thank you for the copy ‘n’ paste response which totally ignored the point ... while I am suspicious, I did not state the die rolls are rigged I said the game is rigged which it is ... if you win 50% of your games (playing at the same level - say 400 coins) you will eventually lose all of your coins. When you win a game you win approx 75% of the value (i.e. 300 coins or thereabouts) but when you lose you lose 100% of the value (i.e. 400 coins) = 300 coins forward / 400 coins backward = RIGGED!The interface is good, but like all coin-based games it is rigged to make sure you lose your coins. Whenever you win you only receive about 75% of the pot - the rest goes to them, not sure why. An example of how biased this game is - I just played two 5,000 coin games in succession. I won the first by a backgammon yet because my opponent only had limited coins I won about 8,000 coins - but should have been cliser to 15,000. Then next game (against different opponent) - he doubles me when I am in strong position, so I accept, and surprise, surprise he wins by a backgammon and I lose 30,000 coins!!!! Like I said the game is rigged so you win little and lose big. NEVER EVER GIVE YOUR MONEY TO THESE PEOPLE - just use free coins until you lose them

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! DO NOT BUY MONEY! MOST OPPONENTS ARE BOTS THAT ACHIEVE THE LUCKIEST ROLLS I’VE EVVVERRRRR SEEN. I was initially excited to play this game as the beginner phase was at least fair and graphics are nice. Once I got to the advanced board... oh no my friend, rude awakening. The double button and roll button are wayyy too close to each other, making it extremely easy to double your losses which is almost a guarantee. The opponent (most definitely bots, try not using the same picture for different people DB’s) achieved things I did not even think possible. Want to play a game where your perfect strategy is ruined by 5 consecutive high doubles while you roll a 1-2 four times in a row?! Play this game! If it happened once, ok stuff happens. But multiple times?! In the same day?! Bottom line he game is flat rigged. You WILL lose and lose big to obviously loaded dice. Look at all the negative reviews and avoid at all costs. The dice algorithm is absolutely cooked. If you’re miles ahead, prepare to see double after double after double. If you’re on the bar looking at 3 open spaces, you can almost forget about getting in. If you are new to backgammon, stay far away because this is NOT how the game is played. I have played my last game on this app, and I hope many of you will be soon to follow.

I love backgammon & I'm very good at it but in this app you could loose ten times in a row even against new opponents because I can promise you it's rigged to make you buy chips, it's a money making exercise but I still play this version of backgammon because I tried all the rest & this one is the most user friendly, it's an addictive game, the dice rolls are just not random most of the time also too many doubles either in or against your favour it's not fair to a point where it's insulting because I think sometimes the app makes you loose ten games in a row so you feel like betting higher to make up for your loss however most likely you loose your chips quicker, Beach Bum the app maker just want you to buy their expensive chips and they the criminals take something like 30% of your each win on top of selling their high priced chips! Also too many adds, keeps loosing connection even with strong internet access happens at crucial times. Bottom line is play it with free chips only & stick to the Rookie bets.
