I find that the dealer gets a lot of aces bonuses and other great hands while I get an ace high, queen high, king high, pair of deuces, a lot a pair of threes, king queen up, so my thought is that it’s rigged. However you know it’s free and they re-up your $5000 bet for free so in that matter, it’s a good game if you don’t mind losing a lot. ### 4/5 — Small *2022-12-05, version 2.2.2* Fun game, but the cards are so small. I can’t see the suits clearly. ### 2/5 — Tired of people going all in b4 the flop *2022-07-01, version 2.2.2* Just ridiculous makes it not fun ### 2/5 — Algorithms *2022-04-18, version 2.2.2* Game is definitely one sided letting the computer win and get amazing hands and not so much the player ### 5/5 — Great *2022-02-22, version 2.2.2* GreAt game ### 5/5 — Fun *2021-10-24, version 2.2.2* Easy to use and fun.

Dealer has already had a royal straight flush and 4 aces. Only good thing is it’s free so you don’t have to pay to get your a** kicked! ### 1/5 — CHEATERs-dealers *2019-10-29, version 2.2.2* They CHEAT- I get a A2345(2nd highest str8) when Dealer gets a 910JQK str8- and they don’t let me win. When ABSOLUTELY BASIC MINIMUM RULES clearly states a Wheel BEATS a K-high straight in 100% all casinos. And the need to ADD $500/$1000 chips and a MAX bet button, hell to make larger bets when u have to do it $100 at a time.AND with COPY CAT TOP(2c-cards) it’s mathematically IMPOSSIBLE for you to loose the TOP by dealer coping you OVERWHELMING just doesn’t add up. AND the JOKER- I have tracked it for 23000+ hands, it’s MATH/impossible for the dealer ALWAYS get the joker 65-80% of the time to make dealers hands. No where in online or real casinos would these ODDS for jokers/and top 2-card copy cats be legitimate!!!!!! CHEATER APP CHEATER APP CHEATER APP ### 1/5 — decent game *2019-07-12, version 2.2.2* Dealer hardly gets bad hands. It seems rigged. Needs bigger chips like $500, $1000 and all in. ### 1/5 — Not fun. *2019-01-02, version 2.2.2* Should be programmed for complete randomness like in real life. Clearly programmed to increase house edge.
