Ha. Reckless over here starts out with three straight zilches, then goes on a tear of 1000-3000 rolls. FOH this is supposed to be fun?

I can feel that this game is all about skill but I have absolutely no idea what the tutorial is talking about. Can I play the game? Yes. Do I understand any of that? No.

The award counter for the hard badge seems to be broken, if you wanna get the hard badge you probably have to click "report missing achievement" and send a screenshot to kongregate

If that 'Cautious' guy played like this in real life, I'm pretty sure he'd find himself being asked some very pointed questions in the basement of some casino.

If your game freezes on the computer's roll, don't panic! All you need to do to get it started again is go to menu: hit quit game, BUT hit PLAY ON! The computer unfreezes and starts right back up again!

@Darches, thanks for telling that quiting the game before losing keep the winning in a row streak. I dont considere it cheating the system, it's either that or having the best luck in the world-

Man, I forgot how weirdly unbalanced and luck-based this game is. There are times when I keep getting Zilches after two rolls and the computer just dominates me, but then there are times where I beat the computer by over 8,000 points. This game is mostly luck with a little strategy involved. I hate how I keep getting cheated, but I still can't stop playing it.

Rest In Peace, Gaby. Though I barely knew you, you had a wonderfully addicting game. None like it in all my 5 years on Kongregate. May the trolls get their comeuppance.

Playing against Realist, about to get my 10th win in a row, had a really lucky game. I was on 12050, he was on 5050. He got 6 ones, a 1-2-3-4-5-6, a nothing, a 3 pairs, and 4 ones to score 13500 on the final turn. FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

The only thing that seemed missing from 'Zilch' was little scratch-paper comments when the score is tied. We get them for virtually everything else, and they really contribute to the mellow tone of the game. Every time the score was tied, I expected a little note to pop up saying "All tied up!" or "[player formerly in the lead] has met their match!" or some similar nugget of wit...

Actually, after clicking a link at the end of the game that told me I wasn't playing the most recent version, it seems maybe the Kongregate version above isn't the latest? Now I'm just confused as to what the heck is going on.

fun game, but hot damn, talk about random. medium got a load of free rolls in my fourth game, made 6K+ in one turn. ruined my streak and i rage quit. lame, bro.

Getting a tip saying "you lost 500 points for getting 3 zilches in a row- next time just bank 300 points" is pretty annoying when getting 100 points a turn...

In playing enough to be close to the 500 games completed mark, I have been able to observe the computer a lot. I believe that it was programmed with better than average RNG. However, I believe this was designed in order to make up for the fact that the player should be better at strategy. This is most noticeable in Reckless. While Reckless may have long streaks of Zliches, it is rarely because of bad luck, as it will have had opportunities to bank, but not taken them.
This makes sense, in terms of balance, but it sure did make accomplishing some of the achievements very difficult/annoying (and impossible without a lot of quitting in the middle of games).

There's a glitch in this game where the CPU stops playing during his turn, to fix it Click MENU -> QUIT GAME -> PLAY ON and continue the match normally, otherwise you'd have to quit and lose awards.

You know, the last few times I checked my progress under "Fool's Gold Badge," it said my current progress was 82, then 80, now 79. When I count them myself, the game says I've won 97/120. Ouch. Those of you playing right now might want to take note!

One of the most frustrating things about this game is getting your first zilch over halfway through because you kept getting single 5s.

Playing a reckless computer, he got 7,350 points in one turn. Three pairs, three pairs, three pairs, three pairs... I couldn't help but feel he was cheating.

Is it me or does the computer just get really lucky. I was at 10900 and the computer only had 7800 when the final round started. He won.

I lost 5 times in a row. I had reached 11300 points, the computer only has 7000, and out of nowhere it pulls 4 thousand points out of who knows where. Fun game, I just feel cheated.
