game is pretty good, but the amount of ads shoved in your face is crazy. I pause the game? ad. I open return to the menu? ad. I restarted the match? ad. what's even the point of winning the chips? I can't find where to spend it and don't want to look because that would mean an ad every time I click an option. get a job 😭😭✌️🥀🥀

One of my favorites growing up so I already knew I'd love it. There's tutorial cuz it's nothing like the real game. My MAIN PROBLEM is a big problem: when you play online and bet your coins the app freezes while loading the game. Well you close the app & reopen it and you've LOSSED 50coins because it registered you "leaving" the game. It's great when you're on the receiving end! Extremely frustrating for your games played:won ratio, & your accumulation of coins. FIX THIS FAST!!!

Great game. I haven't played in years and I love playing. What I don't love is forced ads, so I bought the remove ads bundle. Was only a couple bucks no big deal. Except I still get ads after every back click, just like before I bought the bundle. Not happy that I essentially wasted my money. Will be uninstalling and looking for a better version.
