### 3/5 — Don’t Pay

*2026-01-15, version 2.1.2*

You can play offline though it will exponentially keep trying to have you spend money on the NEEDED “Gold Ticket” .

### 2/5 — Cool offline poker but..

*2026-01-11, version 2.1.2*

This game has a cool concept for being an offline poker game but the amount of times I lose on the river card is more than just bad RnG especially when going all in. It’s almost as if the devs do it on purpose to force you to buy more chips with real money in order to keep playing. This is especially true the farther you get into the game as the buy in gets higher with each tournament. You can either pay right away to get the chips you need in order to keep playing or you can play the long game and save the chips you get from daily log ins and free spins.

### 2/5 — Can’t Progress Without Paying

*2026-01-09, version 2.1.2*

You can’t get past certain points without paying for golden tickets. There are very few opportunities to earn them so you have to either pay cash or delete the app and give up

### 2/5 — It’s ok but lose all your money when delete app what the ?

*2026-01-08, version 2.1.2*

I deleted the app from my iPhone I had 1.3 million in chips reinstalled the app now all my chips are gone and I am back and all my progress gone and now back at the beginning even though I am logged in as myself. Surely this can’t be right just from deleting the app

### 3/5 — Fun until it’s not

*2026-01-07, version 2.1.2*

A pretty fun offline poker game, but it becomes frustrating and not fun at higher levels. The computer players will make ridiculous bets or go all in BEFORE the first 3 cards flop and will slowly drain you of your chips even if you’re winning by millions. It’s pretty cheap if ask me.

### 3/5 — Fun but don’t buy credits

*2026-01-07, version 2.1.2*

The game is fun but as several reviews mention the cards appear to be rigged. For example if an ai player has a pair in their hole cards they will almost always make 3 of a kind on the flop. There has only been a couple of occasions where I have a pair and made 3 of a kind on the flop. If this game was fair and not designed to drain you of money I’d almost certainly buy it as a 1 off purchase.

### 3/5 — Poker?

*2026-01-05, version 2.1.2*

Only for kids! Totally unrealistic

### 3/5 — No thanks

*2026-01-05, version 2.1.2*

The all in button is very popular. I enjoy strategic probability, all in half the time is monotonous.

### 2/5 — Easy to beat

*2025-12-08, version 2.1.2*

You will win close to 50% of the time. For each Continent I have a gold trophy for each tournament. I have not put any real money into it and you don’t need to. I would say that I am not doing anything special, just using common sense.

### 3/5 — Predetermined

*2025-12-07, version 2.1.2*

Not much fun playing a game where it’s predetermined

### 2/5 — Ok

*2025-11-16, version 2.1.2*

Not a bad offline game. But gold tickets are rare which is annoying.

Also the game freezes when I click an ad by accident which is obviously annoying since it’s a gambling game and I don’t want to lose a game because I accidentally clicked an ad.

### 2/5 — Not great

*2025-11-08, version 2.1.0*

If you don’t know what you are doing and don’t mind a random distraction it’s fine.  It’s HIGHLY geared to forcing you to spend money take that statement however you would like and it would be accurate.

### 4/5 — Don’t win all golden trophies!!!

*2025-11-03, version 2.1.0*

Leave a few of the trophies Silver!!!

To complete the daily challenges you need to win a certain amount of hands.  You can win hands by entering a tournament at a reduced price.  Win hands until you get 2nd place, then fold until you are beaten.  Now you can replay any time!  

You won’t have to pay real money to these crooks that programmed the game to milk your wallet!!!!!!!!!

### 2/5 — Payouts

*2025-10-16, version 2.1.0*

I’ve won hands with a straight or 3 of a kind and somehow other players get some or more of the pot than I do even though my hand beat there hand.  They said it may be a side pot but when it is a side pot it says it. The instances I’m referring to it doesn’t say that

### 2/5 — Can’t advance

*2025-10-02, version 2.1.0*

Stuck on 13 rating and won’t let me play in any tournaments although I have first place in all previous tournaments.  I assume I need to buy stuff to advance.  Guess I will be deleting this app.  It was fun up to this point.

### 1/5 — I’m going take this game to court.. I’m done being cheated..

*2026-01-18*

I’m gathering info on this game this is not the way you should be cheating ppl out there hard earned money and downloading you game and trusting you app when ur cheating people out there money everyday just think how much money this guy make ripping people off $1.99 adds up and your having people pay you while your and lol your tech or partners guys are sitting in a mansion with different room playing against the the people and make us lose just to pay you and how dare iPhone App Store let you create a app and put your game on the number phone in the world so u can continue to cheat , lying , and messing with people heads it’s. It right and one day I will get enough money to take you and the iPhone App Store to court lawsuit bec this need to be stopped and just like karma is her real name she will be there to watch you fall for doing gods people wrong…  nobody wins in  black jack that the dealer only hits 17, 18, 19 , 20 , 21 they will let you win or made u thing your winning and on the river you lose to the man in the mansion and the owner of the stupid game .. I’m coming for you

### 1/5 — Unbelievable

*2026-01-16, version 2.1.2*

There is just no way this can be a coincidence but i have played the blackjack boat atleast 100 times and the dealer has gotten 21 about 80 of them and never gets anything below 18 and only gets 17 when i have 17 it is just way too many times to have been a coincidence

### 1/5 — Dodgy AI

*2026-01-16, version 2.1.2*

I’ve played a few poker apps, but this one’s AI seems omniscient. We all have bad beats, but this feels different. If I started betting on the flop, then the AI would repeatedly go all in with something like an off suit 2,6 (which appears to repeatedly = Flush, Straight or Full house). No sane player would make that call, let alone winning multiple times doing just that. I came away feeling cheated from almost every game, even the ones I won… a feeling that has led me to delete this and stick to other games.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t rank hands properly

*2025-12-21, version 2.1.2*

I had three of a kind with a Jack kicker and I went all in. Another with the same threes and a six kicker also went all in. It was a split pot when I had a better kicker. And then, I had a pair of queens with a 4 kicker, someone had the same with an 8 kicker and took the whole pot. This game unfairly ranks hands to make you buy more chips.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2025-10-30, version 2.1.0*

This game is trash

### 1/5 — Rigged, like every other offline poker game

*2025-10-30, version 2.1.0*

Don’t know what I expected, but I don’t have money to throw away in order to play a fair offline game of poker.

### 1/5 — Rules are wrong

*2025-10-24, version 2.1.0*

According to this game, 3-of-a-kind loses to pocket Q’s😑

### 1/5 — Rigged

*2025-10-09, version 2.1.0*

Like every offline Hold-em game with micro-transactions in it, it’s rigged. You’ll always eventually lose everything, BUT WAIT! at least you can purchase more with real money right? It’s obvious too, because several times you’ll see it’s algorithm mess up and like the entire table of like 12 players will go all in, and then the cards flip and it’s a banger like it knows in advance what the cards will be and that meets some criteria for the bots to make certain moves. Just make the ***+ random for gods sake

### 1/5 — Lame

*2025-10-09, version 2.1.0*

Unrealistic hands.

### 1/5 — Misleading

*2025-10-06, version 2.1.0*

Algorithm is programmed against you excessively. You’ll win one out of 15 hands heads up. You can easily tell if you have a winning hand and bet all other players fold. Poorly designed game.

### 5/5 — Perfect Poker App

*2025-12-26, version 2.1.2*

I absolutely loved it and it was so much fun! No ads, no WiFi needed. Totally addictive and I can’t wait for more cities to be released!

### 5/5 — Great practice tool for novice.

*2025-10-22, version 2.1.0*

Handy game for helping novice understand how the game works.

### 5/5 — Brilliant game

*2025-10-10, version 2.1.0*

I’ve completed the game without spending any money, getting use to how the game works and getting gold on every level, I was short on money at one point but the free game soon built it up and by playing that you learn the algorithms and then it’s easy. Completed and waiting for more, good game but unrealistic hands some time 😂

### 5/5 — Total Scam!!!

*2025-09-29, version 2.1.0*

Dot not buy. This game is so rigged I’m amazed they are allowed to put it in the App Store. Total money grab.

### 5/5 — great free offline poker

*2025-09-28, version 2.1.0*

This is great way to practice poker playing offline without spending or risking any real money. The game is also engaging and provides a real sense of progression.

### 5/5 — Decent game

*2025-04-19, version 2.0.28*

Great graphics and a fair game. Advertisements are so much better after recent update. I won in Vegas and am now “World Champion” without paying a cent in real money and now just have one more “World Top Ten” NPC to defeat.  The key to this game is patience. You can get daily gold tickets and coins with the “Daily Challenge” and if you can hold off on calling the opponents very frequent all-ins you can prevail with no real world money spent. Good luck!

### 5/5 — WoW

*2025-02-28, version 2.0.25*

WoW

### 5/5 — I will play on

*2025-02-06, version 2.0.24*

Devil May Be

### 5/5 — Finished

*2024-09-09, version 2.0.17*

Not sure if it goes any further finished with 66 gold.
Went back several times to change my silver and bronze. Started in May/2024

### 5/5 — Awesomeness!

*2024-08-19, version 2.0.17*

To be honest with you I really love this game and enjoy it!
