Speaking of Rigged dice...

How is this app getting 4.3 stars out of 5 when all I read are 1 and 2 star reviews? I love the look and speed of the app but the rolls are insane when it comes to single player mode and reading other reviews the same happens with random player.
Totally rigged in favor of the app.

I know I’m a mediocre player at best, but to not win a single game out of 30 or 40? And the computer’s dice rolls are perfectly suited to whatever it needs at the moment. I hate this app.
What is happening?

The rolls don’t seem random. The AI doesn’t just get a good roll every now and then, it will get a series of perfect rolls. It also seems like that when the player has a decided advantage in a game the quality of rolls for the player declines. I’ve had several games where I was bearing off with a strong lead to get a bunch of 1-2 and 1-3 rolls while the computer catches several doubles in a row to complete the miracle come from behind victory. It’s like the computer is a six year old that doesn’t like to lose so they cheat to some ridiculous extreme. For the player it’s just frustrating. For me, it makes me not want to play. It’s a shame because the interface is quite nice.
Rigged Rolls

Hardest level of the game is ruined because of non-statistical dice rolls. I have played many times and take statistics, which do not line up at all with the statistics of 2 random die.
“Random” rolls

The computer rolls perfectly nearly every time. Computer needs a 1:5? You can bet your bottom dollar a 1:5 is coming up next. It is so frustrating. It certainly has taught me how to play but I’d rather learn by not wanting to throw my phone at the wall the whole time.
Incredible rolls in favor of the app

I agree with all reviewers who gave low ratings regarding incredible rolls while playing against the app. I have noticed that when you delete the app and re-upload, app rolls are truly random. As you play more against the app and once it understands your level of playing this game is high after 3-4-5 matches, it starts rolling annoyingly perfect. It keeps you open up and roll 3 times in a roll with the same worst possible combination while it closes up on you with the same best possible combination 3 times in a row. When you have four five closed spots in your jail and the app has 1 closed spot in its jail with its 1-2-3 chips on the bar, starts rolling incredibly and all of a sudden you are 6 doors behind the jail and lose by 3 games, if not by 6. It is fine to lose against the app fair and square, but this algorithm ruins your appetite. No matter what, design, sounds, speed etc is pretty good. I almost hear the developer saying, “guess what, if you don’t like it, don’t play with it” and s/he is right. However, never ever give this app a 1-star review, if you are planning to keep the app, since it will screw you left and right, from that point forward. Funny!
Not random

Whether I am ahead or not, I lose most of the time. And it is usually by one roll. At first, I was frustrated. But now, it is very amusing how the algorithm beats me. I will play until I get to zero. I play against other players.
