For note, Backgammon Now's dice rolling algorithm. We use the Mersenne Twister algorithm to generate a lot of random values which we use to throw the dice with (a dice roll is based on many values), so it's only when the dice have rolled and landed that the game knows the outcome. It's as close to a real dice throw as possible!
Backgammon Now (v1.6) a perfect entry into the world of Backgammon.

Ratings and Reviews
Some frustrations…..
I enjoy playing this but don’t understand some of the actions going on since the last update. The game starts with a dice roll to determine who goes first, but since the last update why does it roll 2-3 doubles first off 95% of the time. This just wastes time and get really frustrating. Also on bearing off, I can be 30-40 pips ahead and offer a double, and it will accept it even though it has no chance of winning at all. So in that way it becomes easy to beat.
I don’t have any issue with it throwing doubles etc as that seems to be pretty much well balanced. But it does seem to get the “right” roles “most” (i would say about 80%) of the time. Saying that I would still recommend it for beginners and intermediate players as it is a good app.
Finally
Finally a backgammon game where the computer understands it doesn’t need to keep informing you there are no moves, when you know this! Dice rolls realistically, in that - not the suspiciously always-rolling the exact numbers required for taking you off etc. that other games I’ve tried before this have been like. Computer does make different decisions too, not always playing the same each time. & occasionally offers a double, which makes me feel like I’m playing someone rather than a machine. I like that it keeps an overall score of wins/losses, so then I know when I need to go up a difficulty. The sounds also aren’t annoying either. The ads don’t ruin the game but I also don’t mind paying for a version like this one. I’ve always played backgammon games whenever I need to kill time & this one is perfect for it.
Great Game
Best Backgammon game I’ve played by far, only moans I have are when the opponent has a piece waiting to come on and You have a full block on, they shouldn’t be allowed a dice throw, waste of time and just wrong. Also I can’t seem to be able to use the doubling dice unless the opponent uses it first? No button…
Good stuff though.
