Horrible
Don’t even say the dice rolls are random because they are not!!! I played multiple games and literally the other player would roll doubles and then doubles again and I would roll 1 & 2 and the 1 & 3 and the other player would always get just the right roll every time to get out of jail, to claim your piece or at the end to finish first. Plus it seemed at the end the opponent would roll back to back high doubles. Crappy game don’t download it.

Gave it three tries…I’m done!
First, there are too many doubles for either side, would never normally happen and the rolls are very predictable. In one game the first four rolls were doubles, ridiculous! Two, I’ve been in the middle of a game, the screen goes blank, then to an ad! Can’t get back to my game and lose points. Strike three, I’m out, no more chances and I’ve given this game many chances. Too frustrating.

Nothing random about the dice whatsoever
Having a knowledge of the laws of probability, there is absolutely no way that the ‘house’ dice rolls are random. It has nothing to do with lucky or unlucky ‘streaks’ whatsoever - do not be fooled… algorithms abound!
Waste of time
The dice are loaded beyond belief. It’s actually quite easy to predict what your opposition will roll based on the the counter positions. Don’t bother with this game. Buy a real boa4d and find someone to play against
Championships unachievable
The game is fine, a little heavy with the ads. But the most frustrating aspect is trying to play championships. You can win the first game and select the button to continue playing in the championship, but after (another) ad, the game board stays frozen on the previous game. Does not matter how long you wait, cannot get to next game. Arrggghhhhh!

Ok but lots of flaws
Fun enough. I only play online opponents so no comments on AI play. Many flaws include 1. Anyone can can resign at any time to avoid gammon even if gammon is assured 2. Anyone can just disconnect from the server and both sides will see their opponent time out and both players win. 3. doubling doesn’t apply to the coins you bet to start. so if you increase the starting bet, the doubling strategy math is silly and you should accept any double if you have even the slightest chance of winning. 4. It can be buggy. Every so often, usually when I am way ahead and starting to bear off checkers while opponent has checkers on the bar, the game does weird things like magically show me as having negative checkers on the bar and opponent times out.
So fun enough to play but not much like competitive backgammon.

Fake
The online players are fake or rigged. Betting 5 coins I won every game. Betting 20 coins and the so called opponent would get doubles every other roll. Fake!!
Loaded dice
Downloaded this game because reviews seemed to suggest the dice weren’t loaded. After a few games it certainly felt like I had less doubles so decided to keep score. Opposition had 9 doubles, 8 of which were 4 or higher, to me zero. Don’t waste your time with this game
