This game is based on ELO rating points. They are calculated as expressed by FIBS (http://www.fibs.com/ratings.html)Winning prob. = 1-(1/(10^((YOU-HIM)*SQRT(ML)/2000)+1))where YOU=your rating, HIM=his rating, ML=match lengthEach match has a value in terms of points
- this formula is much simpler:Match value = 4*SQRT(ML)The points you gain or lose depend on the result of the match:If you win: Gain = Match value
* (1
- winning prob.) If you lose: Loss = Match value

Awful. The programming is nothing more than the computer being more and more certain of the rolls it needs to the point that one can predict with almost 100% certainty what it will roll. Very poor playing experience against the computer to the level of being pointless.
Overall this is pretty good. Two problems with it. Firstly it's not random as there are too few doubles . Secondly, if chat is not disabled your opponent can prevent you from playing by constantly texting a few letters to you
Okay game up until a certain level then the computer gets the exact rolls it needs whilst you are always one short either way. I guess a lot of these backgammon games are like this, so this is no different really. Still worth playing at the lower levels though.
Scoring is terrible, your opponent can resign give you a single point and still be in your home area. You can time out and lose 3 points, you move doubles in 20 seconds, the minimum time should be no lower than 30 seconds. Also people get on chat to block you from moving.
The rolls are bent and just like every other suspect backgammon app. Fundamentally well executed and presented with innovative and useful design elements. However, bent dice. Therefore five stars without considering the dice; no more than three taking that into account.
Other the computer getting the optimal cubes, it is ok. Have played bad moves and wrote before hand what com roll would be and got it right 99 out 100 right. A fun game to play though
A really good game with great randomness on the dice rolls. My only gripe is that I had to disable chat because people have used it to win by using it while you are playing so that you run out of time.
Enjoy playing Backgammon Reloaded. One thing that could be improved. When a player is losing by a gammon or backgammon he/she should not be allowed to resign a single game. Opponent should be allowed to decline the resignation.
Hi! I've played this game for ages .I enjoy it immensely because it has tactics, a relaxing pace, keeps my mind alert. Thanks pass and relaxing
5 years dealing with this rigged game i am done. Total scam bs rolls no interest to make it random. Play for a while you will see its not random and get to 2000 pts and lose 90% of games back down....5 times for me. Win again get back up. Leave honest reviews. Get slammed back. Stan is a sociopath. Go play backgammon live. Its random and fair. You play that and you will understand what stans motives are. Headgames with an algo.
Best backgammon version so far. Increasingly challenging. Doesnt seem to cheat. You neither win all the time nor lose all the time.
The only thing bothering me is battery usage, it's too much for a game like this! Best thing is control checkers and it's very cool. Thanks for your awesome App.
I rarely win but l enjoy the journey, best game in the universe apart from playing on Venis . If l'd like to win but think l can't , it's almost certain l won't
Rigged dices or very stupid algorithms makes this app totally useless!!!! The app will decide based on some random reason who will win and then act accordingly. I'm uninstalling it!!!
Don't serve political ads and merchandise stores to me! . When I have the game muted, the ads should automatically mute too.
Doesn't understand gammon or double gammon and therefore not a true backgammon game...you will learn wrong way to play. Also hard versions just give you crappy rolls.
Love this game because there are no ads and you can play offline.
The algorithm seems to favor the computer 🖥 most of the time, however patients can result in wins
Even playing the computer is fun and challenging. The best backgammon I've played in a long time.
not random but attractive.Reset, start again , not big deal, happy with it.
Some how computer keep rolling doubles when ever it needs it. Huh....
Clear, easy to read graphics. Recommended
Easy to play like a real board and lots of players from all around the world.
Facebook login doesn't not work anymore. I will change my review to 5 starts when it's fixed.
Computer rolls are unrealistic and highly favors whatever it needs.
A mix. First, unlike my glitchy fave, this app allows me to finsh a game. Supposedly a plus? -->- We don't get to watch the computer move its tokens. i really miss this element. Definitely, makes this uninteresting gameplay (and you have to scour the board, to see when the computer's tokens have moved). Big, fat, constant reminder that i AM PLAYING ALL ALONE.😣 Cannot double when i want -- have to wait for game to offer one up. Makes no sense. And, the game board, itself, is very light and drab.
