Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Gold Caves at none against Roll Machine's 10. Gold Caves also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Roll Machine's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (6.2K vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
