They are ripping you off

Each player pays $0.60, combining to $1.20 and you only win $1.00. So they are taking $0.20 for each game, they are taking over 16% in profit for themselves. If you win 100 games you only win $4.00. It's not worth the time.
Love it!

So fun. I love puzzle games and it is fun to use real money. Haven't won anything, but I have lost more on things less enjoyable. Plus the tickets you earn regardless of whether you win or lose is also a great benefit. It is great that you can play multiple games to work towards the same ticket goals.
Do yourself a favor and STAY AWAY FROM THIS GAME.

Anyone who doesn't realize the "play for real money" portion of this app is a scam deserves to lose their money on this crooked app. If you haven't already done the math, I'll do it for you: It takes a $0.60 bet from two players to win $1. This means that of the total $1.20, $1 goes to the winner and $0.20 goes to Skillz (the app developer) so the more games they get you to play, the more money they make. They accomplish this by running daily competitions to incentivized you to play more games and win "prize money". This might as well be monopoly money because you can never cash it out. You just have to keep playing until you lose it. And if you try to cash out any of your existing real money, they'll tell you that you have to forfeit all of the "prize money" you won if you do. It gets worse: they do something sneaky that is marketed as "fair" by saying that they match you with someone "of similar skill level". (Can you imagine if they did that with poker players at casinos?? LOL!) Assuming they do this correctly with their fancy algorithm (which obviously just averages player scores), the odds of you or your opponent winning should be about 50/50 since you are being "evenly matched". This means that if you win 50% of the games, you're still losing money because the house is taking a $0.20 rake for every game being played. The ONLY WAY to be profitable is to win two games for every one that you lose: two games won = $2, three buy-ins at $0.60 each = $1.80. A WHOPPING $0.20 profit!!! But wait--how are you supposed to consistently win 2/3 games if you're matched at the same skill level?? Its truly comical of you think about it. This is a highly unethical business model for Skillz, shame on them. Don't let these thieves capitalize on your stupidity.
Addicting game

I love this game. It used to be my go-to time killer. Unfortunately they updated it so it dims my music. I'll never use an app that dims or stops my music. Pleeeease remove such a useless feature.
Great Idea Terrible Tutorial
No mas El Macho
I love the idea of a strategic number game, but there are several things lacking. 1. A tutorial that actually explains, step by step, how and why the direction you swipe causes certain tiles to move and others to not. 2. A separate rules guide that you can reference after the tutorial. Right now it seems like the thirty second tutorial is the only way to see the rules. So, take notes the first time. 3. A practice sandbox mode where you can go to play around with the rules, logic, and strategy without everything being a head to head competition. 4. A solo (vs AI) mode where you can enjoy the game without feeling like you have to compare to other people. Again, I think this has potential but needs a lot of help.
