The game is designed for you to lose and get addicted to it as well. Then once you are, you have to go buy coins and pay for all of their paraphernalia so you can play. Even the way the game is set up for you to start a game, think about this, on the easiest level there is a total of 860 points but you have to put up nearly 450 just to start playing so you don’t make 860, and I have to give them credit. It’s ingenious to set it up this way because the innocent player thanks well if I win, I’ll get 860, doesn’t work that way.. once you see through all the bells, whistles and smokescreens, you’ll understand that it is rigged and it is done so so you will have to pay money to play the game and that’s what they want and if you’re OK with that, great, knock yourself out! ### 5/5 — They Rip You Off *2022-11-18, version 2.2.0* I play this game daily and spend a lot of money. The game freezes often. I lost 110k thousand coins during a game freeze and asked for them back. They told me I got them back but it’s not true. I never did. I asked for proof and to escalate and have been ignored since. I’m looking for a new gin game and will be leaving this one. With all the money I have spent with them the complete lack of appreciation is unacceptable. They tried to blame my wifi but I wasn’t on wifi and had a strong signal. ### 1/5 — Looks great... but... *2021-05-09, version 2.2.0* First things first, this game is designed to hook you and take your money. Period. Full stop. Despite the nice replies and explanations the developers will undoubtedly respond to this review with, that is the bottom line. You literally have to win 66% of the games to stay at least even with the House. Hard to do that when you’re up against bots. Important to note: you can tell quite often when you’re playing a bot. Most of the time, 78% to be exact (and yes, I counted) the opponent gets first pick after the deal. Statistically, this is exceedingly rare to occur over a prolonged period. In my case it was close to 1,000 games. Conclusion? Bot. Dear Developer: I hear your explanation, still does not explain why now over 78% of the games I have played, my opponent draws first. This is statistically impossible as I’ve played more games than I care to admit. The draws should be 50% +/- 3%. This lopsidedness is not even in the ballpark. Conclusion? Still bots. **Developer response:** Hi mfccac, thank you for your review. We understand your frustration if you have a run of bad luck or are not drawing getting to draw first. However, please note, all opponents are real players and never AI-controlled bots. The generator for distributing cards is set to an algorithm of dealing randomly and the player who is chosen to play first is also chosen at random. ### 1/5 — 5 thumbs down *2020-11-03, version 2.2.0* I tried, I really tried to stay positive for this app. It can’t be done. It takes a little while but eventually you see how your game level is absolutely dependent on money, and lots of it. Try Game Colony gin rummy my friends. You compete against real people, endlessly, and climb the ranks, no money involved. •••••reply to developer•••••• Scroll through the reviews and notice how often you see the words, “I’m sorry...” from the developer reply. There’s an awful lot of I’m sorry’s there. That should tell you that something is not right. You guys have stopped listening to us and more often than not you give canned replies. If I had a game coin for every time I’ve read a repeated developer response I might not have run out of coins to play. Check your generator. Or invest in a new one, God knows you have the money for it. ### 1/5 — Subtle Scam *2019-10-24, version 2.2.0* Be aware. This game is a very subtle scam. When you start playing, you will win...a lot. You will get extra chips as prizes. Then, when you are hooked, you will notice that hardly any of the cards are being dealt in your favor, definitely not in a random order. And before you know it you have zero chips and, unless you are strong willed, will find yourself spending cash on more chips. You have been warned. *Update* Do not believe the lies that the developers tell you that the game is not rigged. I have kept a record of my plays and I can easily get up to the 3,000 chip mark, after which My next opponent is a Bot and I lose, every time, 30 times consecutively. ### 1/5 — Multiple issues *2019-08-11, version 2.2.0* Not only is the "random" card generator not as random as the developers claim, the Rake is far too large. 25% every game is ridiculous. The Absolute Worst part tho is the constant bugs. By constant, I mean they haven't fixed the issue in any way over several years. I come back on occasion to see it it's ever resolved, but it never is. The issue?? You cant be on the app longer than about 6 minutes without it shutting down and kicking you off the app altogether!? While you'll sometimes get your chips back if your nixed in the middle of a game, its inconsistant. Want to watch a video to get daily free chip??... you'll be nixed just after watching the video. No chips. Just as a test, I played for 2 hours the other night and got kicked out 19 times!? ### 4/5 — This game is rigged *2019-07-10, version 2.2.0* The game is well designed but rigged. Have you noticed you cannot continue to be a guest yet you keep playing guests at the highest level. I do much better when I start the game as a novice and do not pay for chips. Occasionally I will buy a small amount of chips to not worry about the outcome and then suddenly I can’t win a game. This is to entice you to buy more chips. I spend most of my time studying the different aspects of the game being rigged to entice players to buy chips. I find it fascinating. When I’m tired of being subjected to the rigging, I typically just keep starting over, which is the only fair way to play because the game designers are waiting to rig the newcomers, and you have a higher average of winning while they wait to entice you to buy chips. It’s a lot of fun until you are flagged as a buyer of chips. Don’t waste your money on buying chips; just start over and you will win more hands. **Developer response:** Dear cvtuyfcbh, thank you for your review. I am sorry to hear you are not convinced about the fairness of our game. However, card distribution is completely random and not influenced in any way by whether a player makes a purchase or not. Please note, it is not in our interest to manipulate the cards as not only is this unethical, it would also be counterproductive as such players would be highly unlikely to want to continue playing. It's also worth pointing out that all players who do not connect with Facebook are by default assigned the name 'Guest' and have the choice whether to keep this username or not. In no way does having this username influence the fairness of the game either. We hope you enjoy the rest of your stay anyway. ### 3/5 — Deleted it, Brought it back, Deleted again *2019-06-30, version 2.1.8* I had a good run this time...several months of playing. Whenever my money dipped below 1200 or so, it would slowly rise again. For the last week, though, very few wins and a ton of losses. Down to almost zero and just deleted the game again. Despite what the developers say, there HAS to be something going on with the algorithms. I’ve seen it happen more than once. Perhaps after someone has played fairly frequently but not purchased coins? It’s a shame because it’s visually very attractive and fun to play, at least when you aren’t loosing every game. ### 1/5 — Is this odd or what??? Deleting this cheating game for good *2019-05-25, version 2.1.8* I play challenges with my friends. I just learned they can watch free videos and earn chips. I can’t. Never even knew this game did that. Because some games do. But what’s up with that because there is no update I require to get the free video option. And me and my girl have the same exact phone. The iPhone XR. But she’s white and I’m black. Plus u can just see you’re going to lose almost every time. The game is a rip off. I thought buying chips would help my chances but it actually went faster. No matter what strategy you choose it won’t work. Throw the whole game away ### 1/5 — Coins *2019-05-16, version 2.1.8* The game is fun until you run out of coins. Daily coins isn’t even enough but to play 1 game. Not worth the space on my phone. Some people don’t want to spend money on a freaking game. I’d rather see sponsor adds than to not be able to play but 1 time per day. So stupid and disappointing for a decent game. The same generic response does not make the game better. I get that all games take money to develop but that doesn’t mean make the game irritatingly imposible after playing the game for 2 days so that you can get purchases. This is no way to run a successful business and eventually people catch on delete and just play something else. ## Frequently asked questions about Grand Gin Rummy ### What is Grand Gin Rummy?
