Disappointed

It's all rigged! Do not download. It starts out ok, but you soon realize it's definitely computer controlled... and not in your favor. I had this downloaded years ago, and thoroughly enjoyed it, as winning and losing were fairly even. But now... it feels like a 90% lose rate. Maddening how the impossible odds of a certain number combination seems to play out time after time. You can predict what the dice will be. So disappointing. I just want to play with real people and have a more realistic, enjoyable game.

Response from developer

Hello, Our game is designed with a computer algorithm. The mechanism of the game works through this algorithm and the dices are determined randomly by the choice of this mechanism. Because of this situation, we don't have any chance to interfere with the game system. Thank you for your interest and have a nice day.

Good game

Great app, however, I have noticed when you play the bigger tables, the opponent seems unbeatable (almost like it’s a computer!) but still a good game 👍

Manipulation of dice

To keep the game competitive, the game manipulated rolls to keep games close

Another backgammon game with fixed dice

Just like the others where you can spend money in the app, the dice are way too rigged.

Leaving a 10% chance almost always results in a loss.

Fun game though.

Adverts

When I started playing backgammon on Zynga it was very enjoyable, unfortunately now they have adverts which repeat over and over, some of which last for a couple of minutes or more, well if I didn’t want what you’re advertising the first time what makes you think I want them subsequently? Anyway there are plenty of other places to play so as soon as an advert comes up I close this app. At the age of 67 I have better things to do with the time I have left, in fact I’ve wasted enough time writing this!
Subsequently got a reply from the developers requesting more information, well, if you don’t understand what I’ve written above then find someone in your organisation that does.
And now I’ve found a very good site that doesn’t bombard me with annoying adverts so I’m off to delete your app, NOW.

Couldn’t play the game

No way to start a game of backgammon without it connecting me to an online opponent. I just want to play the game. Ideally I’d like to play async with a friend. But instead all I see are ways to collect coins, spend coins, and a bunch of other stuff that has nothing to do with backgammon.

It’s unfortunate

This game has great potential, but it’s heavily tainted with rigged dice, endless bots, way too much drama and it keeps stopping on me after I get way ahead.....

Some of us are well~seasoned backgammon players & we can tell the difference between real dice & rigged dice.......

I just don’t understand why these developers keep using rigged dice for these backgammon games........it makes me wonder if they have ever played the game for real....because anyone who has played “real backgammon” would agree that the dice rolls are “random”.....and not programmed for “dramatic purposes”......

If skill & strategy were allowed, backgammon games would be more than awesome....but because the dice are always programmed & rigged, there’s no way to work a strategy.....

I’ll say it again, this game has great potential....but like all the rest.....it’s heavily tainted....
