Predictably Boring
No matter the setting, this game is mind numbing and programmed to disappoint.

You can keep your misplaced reply comments. First, the app gives up sweeps all the time. Not just when it might have to. Even on insane the app DOES NOT PLAY RIGHT. POOR CARD ORDER IN PLAYING ALL THE TIME. Plays point cards when it has face cards to play. WRONG - YOU DON’T KNOW THE GAME AND IT SHOWS. So many matches, which you seem to say is normal. NOT THREE OR FOUR OF A KIND IN ONE DEAL ALL THE TIME. Again, total junk app that does not even understand the basic concepts of the game. AI never plays correctly even on insane. Pure garbage. Stick to your day job and leave cassino to those who can actually play the game.

Note to developer
Love the app. The online feature to play with friends is not working lately. Can you fix it. They can’t connect.
Excellent Implementation of Cassino!
I have been playing Cassino since my childhood and even created a Cassino computer game in Windows years ago, so I consider myself to be pretty knowledgeable about the game.
Michael Dokken’s implementation is first rate and provides a worthy opponent. The UX is clean and intuitive and very enjoyable to use.
I just read another review that claimed it didn’t follow the rules, the cards dealt were not random and overall played poorly. That is ABSOLUTELY INCORRECT! Please take a look at the various configuration options and settings before posting a baseless negative review!
I play with the difficulty set to “Hard” and find that I win a little over 50% of the time, which is what I would expect as a skilled player.
The highest difficulty level (called “Insane”) is quite a challenge to beat and my guess is that it keeps track of the cards that are played and uses probability and statistics to give itself super human skills. If you play at this level be prepared to be humbled!
Don’t hesitate to try this fabulous implementation of the best card game there is - Cassino! You’ll love it!!!

go-to game while waiting in line
I learned to play this a million years ago as a kid & was elated to see it as an app. I haven't experienced any of the woes that others have commented on. Also love the no ads🩷👯🩷
Good game - constructive feedback to make your game better!
Faults are the AI always has your card to sweep so we play the AI rather than a natural player who makes different choices which makes it good as tactically outsmart one dimensional computer.
Insane is not insane as normal seems harder.
-When you have a certain build in my rules you cannot place a card on table and have to pick what you build up making it a skill to get a sweep. (Clareza)
-points should be to 31 and not 21
-2 pairs (teams) computer would be a nice feature
-maybe adding a timer for each player turn would be fun adding a speed and hectic game feature.

Wrong Dealing ruins building
Your Rule Wrong!
“ …and then draws a card so that they have four cards in their hand again.”
No! Only when all players finish playing their 4 cards are you supposed to deal 4 more to each!
If I am building, and the opponent cannot take my build, but gets another card dealt immediately, they have greater chances of stealing my continuing builds, multiple card builds. It takes the fun out of the game. I will not play this.

Cant stand an honest review. So many matches. Not even remotely random hands. Doesn’t even know the right rules. Total junk app that does not even understand the basic concepts of the game. AI never plays correctly even on insane. Pure garbage. But keep deleting my review and i will keep posting as you clearly recognize that your app is junk and has not even a basic understanding of the game of cassino. Keep letting the AI give up sweeps and never fix the junk you call a game and i will keep calling you out. Too bad you cant stand honest feedback from someone who has been playing this game for over 50 years.

Thank you for your feedback, but I have never deleted any reviews. The hands are dealt completely randomly, so you are bound to get unlucky sometimes. The insane level does make some attempt to avoid giving up sweeps, but sometimes it will knowingly give up a sweep when it thinks it has no better option.

Update - so tired of this cheating fixed hand game. The sheer number of matches per hand is ridiculous no way these are random deals. You have a math degree - yep I googled you - and put out this statistical mess. How sad. Take it down and fix the app. You never learned how to play this game correctly and sadly it shows. I would lay waste to you every time in real life. Stick to day trading may be you are better at that but given your math abilities as evidenced by this piece of junk I doubt it. Stop coding rigged junky apps. THANK YOU FOR TOTALLY RUINING THE GAME OF CASSINO

Update - now over 50 hands with 5 or more sweeps per hand. COME ON 5 SWEEPS OR MORE IN ONE HAND / DECK. TOTAL MATHEMATICAL JUNK. TOO MANY SWEEPS FIX THE APP NOW. APP DEVELOPER DOESN’T KNOW HOW TO EVEN PLAY THE GAME. HORRIBLE CASSINO AI AND TOTAL BOGUS PLAY. Tracked average number of sweeps per deal - 500 deals - average of 3 sweeps per deal. WOW ARE YOU KIDDING ME. NICE ODDS NOT. Still giving up sweeps even on insane. Google how to play the game and may be you will learn correct cassino strategy. Over 2.5 matches per hand on average. Random deals, RIGHT. Took down last review because developer didn’t like a honest review from someone who has played cassino for over 50 years. AI is horrible, pure garbage. Gives up sweeps even on insane level. Horrible, but hey if you want a flawed cassino app this is your game. AI routinely gets all the cards. Developer says the deals are random. NO WAY. BUT HEY TAKE DOWN MY REVIEW AGAIN AND I WILL LEAVE ANOTHER. LETS CENSOR THE REVIEWS SO YOU CAN PRETEND YOU APP IS NOT MASSIVELY FLAWED. At least fix the give up sweeps flaw as you have to know that aspect is pure garbage let alone all the other game play flaws my pervious review correctly pointed out. One set of 4 cards hand for each player and three sweeps. ONE LOUSY SUB 52 CARD HAND 8 CARDS OUT OF 52 AND THREE SWEEPS. 6 sweeps in the whole deck. Yea random deals NOT.

It does matter
Thanks for the review.
Alternating who is dealt cards first would not have any effect since the cards are randomly shuffled.
Advantage goes to whomever makes the last play as they have a possibly leveraged opportunity to clean the board.

Fantastic!
My grandmother taught me how to play cassino. I spent many hours playing it with her. She passed in 1997 and, besides my brother (who used to play with me and my grandmother) and one friend from college who happened to know the game, I never could find anyone else to play cassino with. Then I found this app. The game-play can be customized to play they way you're used to playing. The app is designed and works well. Every time I play it, I remember the great times I had playing with my grandmother. I'm so glad I found this app. It truly is a joy.

Probabilities escape this game
Michael you HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT RANDOM DEALS. The amazing amount of triples or even four of a kind that come up and allow the computer to win is ridiculous. Fix the randomness of the deals. Or may be check to see if your deck has 52 cards because it seems as if it does not. The matching face cards that occur in both player’s hands on a given deal is also out of control. I have K Q J and then the computer has the same set and takes all three tricks way too many times. COME ON. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO ENGINEER RANDOM DEALS THEN JUST DEVELOP A TIDDLY WINKS APP. Fisher and Yates right more like Cheech and Chong. You know the pot movie duo!!!!!!!!!! Additionally, the computer always gives up sweeps. WRONG GAME PLAY STRATEGY MICHAEL. DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW TO PLAY THE GAME THE RIGHT WAY. COMPUTER ALSO ROUTINELY KEEPS A LOW NUMBER NON POINT CARD AND THROWS A 10 OR 9 INSTEAD. WRONG AGAIN. THE GAME PLAY AI IS HORRENDOUS AND YOU CLEARLY CANNOT PLAY THIS CARD GAME. WOULD LOVE TO PLAY AGAINST YOU FOR REAL. YOU WOULD NEVER WIN. Just played Insane level and the AI still routinely gives up sweeps. WOW HOW CRAPPY IS THIS GAME. INSANE GIVES UP SWEEPS. BEEN PLAYING FOR REAL FOR OVER 50 YEARS AND IN NO WAY DOES THIS APP REPRESENT THE NUANCES INVOLVED IN CORRECT CASSINO GAME PLAY. JUST ANOTHER WOULD BE DEVELOPER TRYING TO PRETEND THEY KNOW CORRECT GAME THEORY. SO SAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the review. The deck of cards is shuffled using the Fisher-Yates shuffling algorithm. Sometimes by random chance the computer might get the 10 of diamonds a few games in a row, but sometimes it will happen the other way around.
