So I started counting each roll result and it seems that there is simply a 1 in 6 chance for each result. In reality there should be a 1/32 chance to roll 0; 5/32 chance to roll a 1; 10/32 chance to roll a 2; 10/32 chance to roll a 3; 5/32 chance to roll a 4; 1/32 chance to roll a 5. This affects the gameplay massively; most games are decided by how unlucky you are with your zeroes as they happen SO much more often than they should. It would be great otherwise :-( ### 5/5 — Great game *2021-08-11, version 2.0.1* It’s a pretty good game. They should add more background options. Love to play when I’m on the train or on the move ### 2/5 — Beans not simulated correctly *2019-02-13, version 2.0.1* This would be a 5-star game but unfortunately the beans are actually just one dice. You roll 0 20% of the time and 5 20% of the time... that’s not how it should work. In reality, you would only roll a 0 or 5 about 3% of the time. ### 2/5 — Wanted to like it *2018-04-17, version 2.0.1* The game rules are not explained well. ### 3/5 — Needs update *2017-05-12, version 1.1* Great game needs an update ### 5/5 — Great game: helpful *2016-05-09, version 1.1* I used this game to do a school project and it has been a great help. ### 1/5 — Huh!!! *2016-01-20, version 1.1* I have played this game before a long time ago and was interested to see it available for iPad. I have already paid £1.49 as I thought I was buying the game and still have no idea what I have bought with this money. I don't seem to have gained anything. I have played for an hour and now have nothing left to play with The game constantly crashes and takes your bids so that when you reopen they are gone and now I am left with nothing to continue with. Why can't you just develop this game so I can pay a reasonable amount for it and keep playing it instead of ripping us off. ### 1/5 — Problems *2016-01-03, version 1.1* Not a bad game but would be better if it would stop freezing in the middle of a game. Hope you get it fixed. ### 1/5 — HUGE RIP-OFF! *2014-08-17, version 1.1* Paid extra to have ads removed. They were removed for a fraction of a second--then reinstalled. I hate the criminal minds that have eaten up the app field. They ruin it for everyone. ### 5/5 — Great *2013-06-05, version 1.1* Anybody knows where to find the physical version of this game? ## Frequently asked questions about Patolli ### What is Patolli?
