True Backgammon

Pathetic beyond belief. So rigged.

So I play this game often, and over many years. I should have already switched. But I haven’t. Why? laziness and convenience. However I’m going to download another version? My reason? The app will go on incredibly impossible runs over and over again to the users detriment. The probabilities simply aren’t accurate. Example: often I’ll take a safe risk after calculating probabilities; i.e., “this is a safe move and it shouldn’t backfire, as the only way this hurts me is if the computer hits a 1 and a 6 on their next roll (1/18 chance).”… only to see that roll happen on the apps next roll, when it would help the app the most. “Ok, sure that happens sometimes”, I think to myself.. My next roll I need an outcome that should have a 50% (or more) hit rate and miss it. Again and again, while the app seems to land the perfect needed roll on its next 5 turns. It wouldn’t be a big deal if it wasn’t happening time and time again, making it obvious that the app seems to have an “auto screw-you” mode enabled; which legitimately just becomes anger inducing. Surely there are more realistic versions than this. If this is really how probabilities worked, casinos would go broke.

I was hoping this was going to be a good app that used genuine random dice rolls…but it’s not. The bot will try to make the game challenging - sometimes in your favor. I can call the rolls the bot will get. Also, sometimes when you get the bot cornered, it will give you the one roll that exposes your checkers. The game is fun but definitely not fair. I received your response to my review. That’s a ridiculous response. Im not saying the dice do not change during the game. What I’m saying is the app looks at the scenario of the placement of the checkers and adjusts the dice results to what the game desires. Of course if I played the game again and manually had the dice roll what was done in the previous game the outcome would be the same. To think the results would be different is insane! My point is the game has logic that rigs the dice roll to be what the programmer has predetermined. If they want the game to be more “exciting”, they will have the dice roll what one entity needs to keep the game exciting. What a pitiful response you guys provided. You didn’t address the main issue I mentioned. So, here is the question, does your app have code that looks at the position of the checkers to determine the dice rolls or is the roll absolutely random? I’m interested to hear your reply…..
