SEVERE Cheating App – Backgammon NJ HD Review

This app cheats bad. I am a fairly good backgammon player and have never encountered a human opponent who rolls this timely and well. The developer touts that the way to prove the game does not cheat is to see that it’s next 100 rolls are pre-determined. That’s fine. What he does not say is the following: 1. The player rolls are NOT pre-determined. The human player rolls are determined by game situation. You are consistently given sub-optimal rolls, typically in early- or mid-game points. Knowing the AI roll to come, you are forced into making decisions that the AI will almost always pounce on. 2. The AI gets off the bar significantly faster than the player - always. I have had games where it takes 10+ rolls to get off the bar with multiple pips open. Even with only one in my home open, the AI gets that roll quicker because, in the pre-determined rolls, it ensures coverage of all sides of the dice faster. 3. The AI wins the first roll 75% of the time. 4. The AI gets doubles twice as often in normal play. To “even up” the average roll for the player, your doubles come when on the bar and with pips you cannot play on - even if 3 are open. 5. The AI gets early game doubles much more frequently than the player. Also, never accept the doubling cube when initiated by the AI; they will win that game 19/20 times no matter the situation. Absolute cheating. At its finest.
