Getting a bit sick of the game play. I was a 1700 player and now at low 1500, continuously losing to worse players over and over again. I’m either on a horrific losing streak or something doesn’t quite add up. Hard to say what’s going on but the points system also doesn’t seem fair when you lose to a worse player. I like the interface and game play but it doesn’t seem fair with the points system and the dice roll makes you feel like throwing your phone across the room. Never used to be like this.
Worst match possible/Pay to win
Blue Oyster 47
Worst game ever made, as soon as you make some coins in the game, you only get matched with (players/bots) over 2400 GR/PR, perfect dice all the time plus always high 20% max money you can play. You will be allowed to get to 20-30k but after that the game takes it all away. Don’t get fooled by star membership, that wears of, you can play with under 4 error rate and you will always be defeated after 20-30k, by PR over 25-30. Tested paid and tested free, it is so rigged that you will never win, no matter your error rate. The better you will play, the better the bots/players. Waste of time and energy. I genuinely gave the time to play and it only gets worse. There is no minus 1 millions stars to give as much as this game deserves to be corrected. You could be Backgammon world champion, but the game will defeat toy due to pay to win.
Disappointing
dodgy dice
I know how difficult a true random generator can be to program, and this does not even come close. I do not want to sound like a bad loser, but to play 5, 6 more games in a row to consistently be negative anti joker is beyond comprehension. Needs major overhaul, just disappointing all the time ALL THE TIME. RNG aside, not enough playability and seems confining in options. Yes all the pros play here but that’s Olsen for you. Have had to delete, wanted to get into this, but the luck coefficient had me on more than occasion wanting to through my device out of the window. When you have to start altering your game to allow for bad beats and lucky opponents continuously it’s time to delete, nothing is worth the pain of playing this for longer than 10 minutes.
Wants you to pay

Good app, well executed. In common with most of these types of games that allow free play it will only let you win for a certain amount of time. Once you have built up a decent stack of coins, you will begin to go on long losing streaks. I imagine there is an algorithm that kicks in to try to make you start paying. As long as you realise this it’s fine. I just play other games and keep logging in to collect the free coins until I have enough to play again. I would be much more likely to pay if I didn’t feel I was being coerced into it because some of the paid benefits are great.
Developer Response
Thanks for the fair review! There's no algorithm that changes results when your coin stack grows. Every roll is made on our server by a cryptographically secure random number generator, the same for every player. Membership, coins, rating and purchases have no effect on the dice. You can check your own rolls any time in Stats, where your dice averages are shown next to your opponents'. Long losing streaks happen to every player now and then, and we know they sting.
Star the matches worth keeping and find them again in a tap. The board feels quicker and sharper, and keeps pace with your clock. More room on iPad, and polish everywhere.
