I agree with other reviewers. The game needs a better program for the dice. The times that doubles are thrown in a row or someone gets the exact numbers for a variety of situations that either result in a win or a lost does not seem random at all. Your response is typical but doesn't negate the fact that the dice throws aren't random otherwise there wouldn't be so many complaints. You all need to go back to the drawing board.

Absolute trash. I don't care what the developers respond with to all the negative reviews, there is no possible way there is not a "favorable algorithm" built into the dice rolls. The algorithm rigs the game in favor of one player or the other, more likely in the favor of either the player that is already spending money on the game, or like a casino with comps, to the player that it feels will get hooked and end up spending money. Most roll sequences are statistically impossible. Don't play.

App has major glitch in wifi connectivity. Dropped out four times today. Deleted app. Returned and glitch is fixed. Very nice play. One gripe left. I play the smaller tables on smart phone and when swiping right to get to them sometimes my finger sticks on a higher coined table that opens (just lost 100k of coins). At one point you guys had a 2 step process to open a table. wish that was back. At least give an option.

Your game is defective or just screwed up. When playing the game day or night, I'll be winning and all of a sudden it will switch to automatic rolling when I have it turned off. I wind up losing the games. Also, my internet connection is great and doesn't lose connectivity anywhere in my home but it goes off on this game. I lost 5000 on a 2500 game because your app says I'm offline. When I check my connections in my home everything is fine. It's only losing connectivity when I play this game.

Completely rigged app! I've never bought anything on this app and I just thought my opponents were incredibly lucky until suffering a miraculous comeback loss. A pop-up then appeared saying, "increase your experience and luck," with with an arrow pointing to a button, which I clicked on and was directed to the "shop" where I could buy coins and other items to ,"improve my luck." As it is, I can have opponent locked down, but inedibl incredible luck they can roll exactly what they need to win.

the boards, music and animation are good. However, 90% of the time if your opponent asks to double, they will immediately roll doubles. When your piece is captured, you'll roll doubles but not of the number you need. The dice rolls seem preprogrammed in general. It doesn't seem possible to roll the exact number needed to capture pieces five times in a row. It's just okay.

Game overall experience is one of the better ones (graphics, user interface, etc), but just like everyone else has mentioned, the random algorithm for the die rolls appears to be anything but random. It seems almost as of the winner has been determined at the start of the game and whoever is in the die gods good graces, gets exactly the rolls they need while you get shafted every single time. Extremely frustrating. Also, odds of getting double 6s is like 90%, once on the bar.

Starting to lose stars on the rating. When opponents roll 4 doubles in a row and you can't do anything about it. It's one thing in one game. It's starting to feel like I'm losing on purpose just so I have to make an in app purchase for more chips. If it keeps happening, just the outrageous amount of doubles in every single game, losing even when I'm winning becuz opponent is given 3 or 4 doubles in a row. I'm about to Uninstall and leave the worst reviews.

The game is completely unfair. It will not allow you to have a winning streak based off strategy. Just now stopped a game that my opponent rolled 7 doubles in a row while I was rolling 1s, 2s, and 3s. And as soon as you make a risky move, the dice just happen to always go for the opponent to jump on your piece even if it is 11 moves away. Also, if you accidentally click a game since the screen likes to stay on the high bets, you lose that money even if you never went to the table. So over it!!!

After initially rating a higher score, I came back to change it. The dice does seem to change it's play after a while. While I could confidently take a chance in some of the lower levels, it appears that any chance I take in the higher levels is penalized by giving the opponent the roll they need to take my piece. Eight out of ten times. So, it seems to suffer from a similar dice ailment as many of the other apps.

Graphics and playability are the best around but dice are definitely rigged. Just lost something like 10 in a row when opponent was beaten and only one roll could save them. Most often another perfect roll blocks the board and they come back from a sure gammon. They deny but get real. You just want me to buy coins. I get it! Bye-Bye Tried it again hoping improvement. Lost 6 or 7 straight with huge lead and opponent rolling perfect numbers. Too bad.

Uninstalling.... The game has very good graphics and looks appealing to play. It started out being very fun, but now has gone downhill very fast. I have purchased many times and I feel that it is designed to keep taking your money. You'll win a few games and then go on a major losing streak. The algorithm is way way off and the game itself has been glitching wayyyy too much lately. I'll be looking for another backgammon game to play.

I like this app. I love BG and have 2 apps on my phone. I have 2 reasons it's not my favorite. 1) When you're playing a game there's no option to see what your quest challenges are. *I like having the option to look and see what I need to play to complete the challenge while I'm making moves.* 2) This app has a frustrating lag time when rolling dice and the opponents making moves. *It's not a very engaging app for quick player's.*

I roll a 6 & 4 two times in a row, and the second time it was the ONLY combination that could've been bad for me. So I have to bump him, and he needs a 6 to come back in, but if he gets a 6 & 2, he'll bump me twice. Of all possible combinations, that's what he gets. Then I need any # besides a 5, and I get double 5's. He gets 3 doubles in a row, catching up after playing terribly through the whole game. Gimme a break Come2Play. I'm sorry but your app is complete trash and I think you know it. I'm off to try another app.

This game is completely rigged. 95% of the time, my opponent will roll EXACTLY what is needed to land on me EVERY. SINGLE. TIME while also always getting exactly what they need to not leave themselves vulnerable in any way. I can predict my opponent's dice almost every roll. And if on the off chance I do get ahead, they are almost guaranteed to get doubles repeatedly to win. It should also have an option on turning off 2x. Ppl who 2x after 3 rolls are annoying and ruin the game for everyone.

The game is rigged... there is NO WAY that in the past 5 games, each opponent happened to roll the EXACT numbers over & over to win. I'd be ahead by a landslide, and they would get the exact numbers each roll to get ahead. Multiple doubles for the opponent and none with my dice. In the beginning, you win, or at least have decent rolls, and that changes the more you play. Thumbs down on this one!

Totally rigged. It's really hard to win when your opponents gets 3 or 4 doubles in a row and seems to get exactly what they need to kill your piece. Then you can't get off the bar. I think most the opponents are bots. Seems like most everybody is around 45% win so it definitely likes you to lose more than win. They will say their rolls are randomized. It's impossible to be random when opponents hit 3 doubles in a row especially if they are losing. That is a statistical improbability.

I really liked the game. At first it seemed to be fair, but after playing for a while, things changed. Started to notice players with a much lower rating would almost always win with seemingly perfect rolls. Either 3,4,5, or even 6 double in a row or exactly what they needed to get ahead. I never rolled doubles like that, so it pretty obvious it's one sidded. Maybe you play bots when they don't have enough players?

The game designers blatantly lie that they have no control over the dice. I have played enough games to see that it is so obvious that it isn't random in some of the games. Here one example, I have just lost a game with double points because my opponent, who previously doubled the game, was repeatedly getting large doubles and I was repeatedly getting 1-2 and 1-3. I've seen this exact pattern many times before. The game tries to maximize loss of one of opponents. It is frustrating!

Don't waste your time unless you plan to pay for extra tokens or other in-app extras. The algorithm lets you win for the first 2-3 board levels. If you don't buy into the extras, you will start losing. Bad rolls, opponent doubles, magically perfect rolls for the opponent (real or bot), etc. It's pretty sophisticated. It'll be close, but one good double, or just enough high value rolls near the end, will tip the win to the opponent until you are forced to drop down to lower bet boards.
