PROTIP: do not take a single or double five unless 1) it's your only option 2) you are banking that turn 3) it'll get you a free roll... otherwise discard them.
those claiming it's not random, maybe try taking notes from how the computer plays... my current record is 8-2.

I'd say he has to fix a few things before it gets badged. It's a great little time waster game with good graphics. BUT: 1) the badges disappear if you navigate away; and 2) i think there may be something wrong with the randomizer. I've played maybe 50 games, and have yet to get two 1500pt free rolls in a row. The computer is getting them every game. Others have noticed it. I don't know why, and I'm not saying the author rigged it, but I would take a look at how you do randomizing in the code.

Randomness my @#!, Computer banked 10 times total/10 rolls total in the game winning with over 12,000, now come on over 1000 per bank and not one zilch even though (Cautious) would roll even when he had only one die remaining and well over a grand banked already and I roll once have to keep one die for 50 and with 5 die remaining zilch out every time

I'm dubious about the authors' claim it isn't rigged in favour of the CPU, but still a decent enough waste of 15 minutes. 4/5

Twice in a row I've gotten over 10,000 and been 2000-3000 points ahead, and after the computer sucking all game it pulled out uber scores and beat me both time. I have to question the randomness of that.

Nazeris, if you do the math the chance of not getting a 1 or a 6 is 8,6percent. And thats not even all scoring combos, so it's really unlikey but it happens from time to time

Pretty decent. Sad that you can't save awards. Also, you should never be able to zilch a free roll considering the scoring. That means the free roll should also be automatic.

How can you say the game isn't rigged when every time you role for the first time you get points. Granted you've got six dice and a third chance of getting points on each but there'd at least be a few instances. The randomness is too perfect.

yeah you say it's not fixed but the lowest score the computer has had against me is 950 in one turn and it has never zilched...

If you get less than 300 points you can't continue. It's part of the rules. It doesn't suck because of the rules. 5/5

computer's luck is definitely better than human's. cpu scored more than 5000 in twice in a row, when i was leading by 3000

Game isn't rigged but it's also in no way skilled based. I play this game with my friends all the time (no the designer is NOT the original rule maker of this game, ZIlch is a very very old dice game) and trust me, it's 99% luck based.

I have no beef with gaby, but seriously, there's "probable", and then there's "You have to be ****ing kidding me!", like when you score 3k points in a round, and the CPU then repeats your feat(with similar results, at that).
