Jhd

The dice are NOT random!!! I’ve dropped 10k points in one session playing 400 point games because dice are set to stop any chance of winning. This is literally playing the dice. Within first 2-3 rolls you know who will win. Even if you win it’s because the dice decided to let you every once in a while. You rarely get opening play. Great app EXCEPT the dice rolls suck and are DEFINITELY NOT RAMDOM! Very very predictable

What supposed an enjoyable game is a source of stress rather than entertainment.

This game feels designed to manipulate players rather than provide a fair gaming experience. In my experience, the matchmaking and game outcomes often seem intended to pressure players into spending money. After winning for a while, I repeatedly encountered long losing streaks that appeared unnatural.

The game became more frustrating than enjoyable and created unnecessary stress. I understand that losing is part of backgammon, but the overall experience made me feel that monetization was prioritized over fair play.

I cannot recommend this game to anyone looking for a relaxing and fair backgammon experience, many many games are best than this one.

Backgammon

The worst backgammon EVER . We must speak to GOOGLE PLAY SUPPORT TEAM . They never listen to our complaints and to improve the game the beach bum Ltd The computer answer to the peoples complaints and suggestions for improvement. with the most common answer (I am sorry that you feel this way ……..) this is a disgrace game and special for the backgammon game.

Enjoyable, however…

I have played this game at least once per day for the past year or so.I have noticed that when I get rolls that allow me to capture the opposing player’s piece more than once per game, I can bet that I’ll lose the game. The dice will be sure that I have only one move that allows my opponent to knock me off, and I can’t get back on the board. It’s a rigged game, and not random at all. Additionally, the “side game”, where you have to open the treasure chest and avoid a bomb have gotten more expensive! We used to get 5 gems when we opened the correct gem chest, now we just get 2 gems. It takes 20 to continue the game after locating a bomb! I can see where they may use this as a money-maker, as people will buy the gems, but I will probably stop playing that side game if this continues, It’s not fun anymore. As soon as the bomb goes off, I stop the game.

Gammon

I been a long time user of the app and have enjoyed it. I have been loyal and paid for many coins over the years but I am really frustrated that when I win Gammon or backgammon I never and I mean never get awarded 2x or 3x but when I lose it always gets taken out of my account. It is clearly completely rigged and the developer do what ever they can to make you spend more money. When I have reached out to customer service they explain to me how backgammon works. lol thanks I have been playing my entire life stop gaslighting me and ripping me off.
