Don't believe the nonsense about the impartiality of the dice rolls, that is not what happens in this game. In practice almost every other roll is another set of doubles, or the same result as the prior roll. And of course the developer cannot let his game be defeated, so there are the constant predictable rolls when the app is losing...the last minute double sixes or double fives, ...the ever present 'in off the bar" but always including a hit on any open piece. This app never used to be so blatantly rigged but has degraded with each subsequent release, such that it is not worth playing with a cheat as an opponent. The only time any of these dice games will ever be impartial is when the 'dice roll' routine is provided by a user selected independent provider at run time, and linked in through a standard interface. I shld have saved my money.
I enjoy this version

I use to feel that the version was others that I had played, that the game would get the right combination it needed to win. That was my feeling until I started on the advanced level. This level allows for zero mistakes by you. The reason I know it is random, is because at the end of most games, it comes down to whoever gets the final roll of the dice. My only wish list item is stats, I would like to see how many games I have won, etc...
Needs update
Rocker Ronnie
Three major issues: 1) Needs to resign when a win is mathematically impossible. I'm tired of playing out games. I resign once I can't win. 2) Dice rolls cannot be random. I can now predict what it will roll sometimes. It uses rolls to adjust the "level" of wins. If it's really behind and has decided it need to win, it will win. 3) It needs a higher level because it will never beat me on Expert level. it will win a few games each match and win one match out of a dozen, but has no chance against me long term. If you're not beating this one, you need to learn better play.
Not a fair game

1. Computer usually goes first 2. Computer consistently throws "higher" numbers 3. Computer hits doubles more frequently 4. Computer consistently hits open men with just the "right" dice throw I like the layout. Why would programmer "need" to build in advantages for the computer play? Ego?
The app cheats

The author tries to convince us that is not the case but he is lying, shame on you
Targets single pieces

It may not actually cheat in one sense but it heavily targets any single piece...always.
Win some. Lose some

Love the game, but it seems the program often keeps the player from winning and rolls for itself, winning against all odds and likelihood.
