  • Not worth playing

    See many of the other player comments. If just cheats. Takes all the fun out of playing. I have removed app.
  • Non-random dice

    The authors manipulate the dice in non-random ways, especially when playing against the computer. I know everyone thinks the dice are rigged in these kind of online games when they’re really not because we tend to only pay attention when the opponent gets a ridiculous run of luck. However if you see exact same sequence of rolls over and over, you start to realize that they at the very least don’t know how to code a truly random sequence. Instead they use the easier pseudo-random sequence while using the seeds over and over.

  • Rigged dice

    I have now played over 1000 games against the computer. I see in the statistics that the doubles are about the same in number but when the computer gets a double ,it’s at a more advantageous point in the game. Also when the computer is coming off the bar there is an uncanny ability to hit my blots.
  • Unexplained data

    This is a good “live” game. It took me awhile to decipher what labels such as 25K, 1D, and 2D meant. They relate to one’s “win” achievements. It’s also nice to be able to look into the room to see who’s playing. The ranking data is a great addition., but the basis for awarding rating points is unclear. It would definitely be more interesting if there were a “chat” option for online play.
    My main criticism is the annoying adds,….just wait it out and look for the faint, little “x”s. Also, I am fairly certain that the dice are not always random. I actually played a game where I knew what rolls were coming up because they were an exact repeat of the previous game, lol.

  • It’s a good way to learn

    But it cheats (won’t let you move a piece you should be able to move) and the count is off sometimes.
  • Game

    Cheats badly
  • And another waste of time

    Are there actually any backgammon games that work properly and actually throw random dice? I’m yet to find one that generates random numbers and doesn’t give the opponent doubles all the time or dice that that they always need ? 5 doubles in a row. Come on developers have some dignity. This games doesn’t try and be subtle!!!!! Deleted….

  • Dice are definitely rigged

    I’ve now played over 1000 games at level 5. All my games were against the computer. The dice statistics compiled by the game itself confirm that the dice rolls favor the computer. The statistics show that I rolled more double 1s, 2s, and 3s, and that the computer rolled more double 4s, 5s, and 6s. I enjoy playing Backgammon against a computer opponent, but I would sure like to find a game with truly random dice rolls.

  • Yet another game that cheats

    I will be deleting this app because it's impossible to win when the computer miraculously manages to roll 3 or 4 doubles of 5's or 6's at the end of the game while I am stuck with mostly 1/2 rolls.
  • Ha ha..this game cheats

    Hilarious! You can absolutely 10000000% count on this game rolling four WHATEVER IT NEEDS whenever it needs to. Even on easy play, this game cheats. It’s hysterical. As long as you don’t mind losing….constantly….this is an attractive, easy to play, ad free game. But you’re going to lose.
