You kidding ?

I always thought Playgem was the most crooked backgammon program on the Internet until a game I just played on zanga . My opponent was beat. I had one roll to beat him but right before that he got 2 doubles, first double 3’a and then double 6 to wipe the floor clean. what a crooked pile of crap this program isof course you know it’s a written program so the ending is decided by an algorithm and if you’re on the bad end of that algorithm you are dead no matter what it has to do. I hope beyond hope it’s clean because it takes money to play this, so it may not be a lot of money, but there is some money that you have on the line and they are stealing they are thieves. and now they have redone the whole game. Crazy. It’s stupid. Why would they change that? It was a perfect looking board. I didn’t like the way it played beautiful and now it’s a crook crapprogram. The new program so stupid I keep expecting Mario kart to come out. What ac kind of à la crap is this who would program something that’s already on the kids games

Our dice are randomly generated by the system. You get random numbers when you make a roll like in real life.

Learned how to play

The app is fun but has lots of glitches that sometimes cause me to have to delete and reinstall the app. As a woman I have experienced sexual harassment but have found no avenue to report players who make inappropriate comments.

Good program

One exception: difficult seeing your wager in time allotted.

Very Good…but

The game is well put together, but WAYtoo many quitters in mid-game. Should be a penalty for leaving the game without finishing when you’re losing.

Big fan

I like this app a lot. Few issues other than connection issues here and there. Pretty serious players make it fun.

Hello, Thank you for the 5 stars! :) Good luck,

Total scam

Do not waste your money or time. There is no way that your opponent gets perfect roles every single time. Sometimes four or five doubles in a row. And you never get any. Sometimes it happens to you which is unfair to your opponent. If you earn so much money they take it all away from you by making you lose nine games in a row which is virtually impossible if you know how to play this game.

Backgammon Plus

Absolutely unbelievable the amount of “incredible” dice throws your opponent will miraculously be given. It’s virtually impossible for so many opponents to roll the exact dice to pluck off your checkers, especially if you happen to get ahead at any time. There’s just no way these dice are “random.” And your competitors are some of the rudest people with the most poor sportsmanship actions I’ve ever seen.

Hard to play directly with a friend

You can’t start a game with just 1 specific person which is odd.

Smooth and fun

Fun game but be careful, you might end up spending too much time :-)

A little complicated

This game is a little complicated, I have a friend on line playing, but it’s hard for us to connect...otherwise I’ve always enjoyed backgammon.

Dice algorithm

Great fun game to play with. Except the opponent always rolls the impossible dice. To me the app makes it on purpose so players have to purchase more coins. There should be also an option so we can invite our friends to game directly.

Good game seems fair

Most other backgammon games have dice that don’t seem fair. These do. That’s the ultimate plus and the online experience is very nice.

Disappointing

Although it functionality is good this is just another backgammon game where the rolls are definitely not random. You’ll win at first then your opponent gets every roll they need and you can’t make a single play. Don’t waste your time.

Poor design

Terrible rolling algorithm! More often than not the dice keep repeating the same two or three combinations in the same game. Sometimes you get the same dice four or five times in a row. Impossible odds in a real life! Need to fix the rolls to be truly random.

Not great

This app seems to have very biased rolls. There is no way to get 3 doubles in a row in real life and it happens for my opponents often. Also they get exactly the numbers they need to hit my pieces, even if it’s an unlikely number to roll. The other players seem ok some talk to you in other languages so I have no idea what they are saying. I won’t spend real money here not worth it.

Uninstall rating does not work on iPad OS.

iPad OS is buggy as hell. Most of game is grayed out. I. recommend uninstall I have been on the phone trying to troubleshoot other problems & they want to do a hard reset which didn’t work. Most apps have now updated but still buggy. Both you & Apple please fix.

Weird things have not happened

Appears to be above board. Game hasn’t tried to forc3 me buy chips
