Backgammon - Lord of the Board

response required

I love to play backgammon but this app is suspicious. I call it that because I can guess how to play my pieces just by the roll of the dice! I spend too much money on coins and can NEVER get ahead of what I have purchased!! Most of the time my opponents roll exactly what they need to trap me or beat me. When your opponent gets lucky like that to start the game DO NOT accept a double because you will end up trapped in the bar until your opponent gets all of their pieces in their side and kicks you out then you’ll have to race to get into yours or you’ll get gammoned and end up losing double!! Just when I am so frustrated to quit the game they’ll “throw me a bone” and give me rolls to trash my opponent and get some of my coins back. Then I go on an “unlucky” streak again. If you like to play mechanically it’s enjoyable, the boards are nice and the pieces move smoothly, but there’s no way the dice are random. No way. Don’t buy coins and just play the least expensive if you don’t care about your “dollar amount”. Ready to find another place to play. 🤷🏽

If you want to play REAL backgammon, hop on PlayOk or another reputable site. This app is a complete money-grabbing sham, and for them to say otherwise is even worse. I honestly don’t know where to begin. Their “online standard” 15% minimum rake is blasphemy. Maybe if one could cash in the coins for real money, that would make sense; similar to a casino poker room. But not only are you buying coins that have zero monetary value, they skim off your winnings, making it virtually impossible to get ahead in coins. And that is even with a >50% win rate! The dice algorithm is absolutely cooked. If you’re miles ahead, prepare to see double after double after double. If you’re on the bar looking at 3 open spaces, you can almost forget about getting in. Then (you guessed it!) doubles to block you in. The game plays impossibly “lucky”. I can’t count how many times I’ve opened the game with a 5-1 or 6-2, get hit immediately, and don’t get off the bar until after the opponent has eaten 4 blots. The odds of that happening once are less than 0.1%, so the fact it’s happened on multiple occasions on this app tells you everything you need to know. Not to mention I have never had that happen in my favor. You are a fool if you give these crooks your hard earned money. If you are new to backgammon, stay far away because this is NOT how the game is played. I have played my last game on this app, and I hope many of you will be soon to follow.

Of course I don’t have proof, and not able to provide unless the company is willing to fork over their algorithms; however, utterly and completely rigged game. It’s all based of coins and whether you have them or not. If you are low on count, I miraculously have a string of good luck, conversely, if you are high on count, and happen to bet big, your chances of good rolls greatly reduces. I’m not a paying customer so in order for the app to keep me playing, they must not allow me to accumulate points without kicking some funds their way. Total sham of an app and obviously no skill involved whatsoever. I conducted an experiment: I predicted the outcome that my opponent would roll when I was low on count and when I was high on count. When I was low on count, out of 10 rolls, I was only able to predict one, sometimes zero, but when I was high on count or betting big (5-10k range), I was able to predict 5 out of the 10 rolls, almost every time. This is highly improbable and quite frankly impossible to do. TOTAL SHAM of a game and if any of you put your money in this, please ask for a refund.

I’ve noticed I have uncanny results playing this game. I have not purchased anything and find the game is ridiculously rigged against me. I started taking notes on the last twenty games I played and I have four times less doubles than my opponents, I am consistently hit with absurd game changing rolls, and my opponents seem to have no difficulty getting back on the board after hitting them despite having most spaces covered. At first I thought it was luck of the draw but now realize after taking notes that the results are certainly tainted. I would not recommend this game because it is certainly rigged. The final straw happened when I lost my last five games against a glaring beginner who made questionable moves but won on consistently huge double plays and consistent game saving rolls that happened time after time to the point where I knew and could predict that they would get the only roll possible to win. This game is rigged and not a true backgammon experience. Not for the true backgammon enthusiast. Don’t waste your time it’s stupidly rigged.
