So Im maintaining a steady lead the whole game, I finish my last roll, end at 11k, I'm up by like 8k points. The CPU then proceeds to roll 6 sixes, followed by a 5 4s and a 1, then a straight, then something like 3 1s at which point he banks about 9k points, taking the lead. wtf.

I played a lot off-line with friends and I set a couple of high scores, so I feel confident to give a couple of tips for those who whant to read. 1) You can select a single dice - a single 1 or a single 5 - even if they come in other combination. Realist CPU makes so, but you have to play a bit before you challenge it, so better know in advance. 2) Don't be afraid of Zilchs. 3 Zilchs in a row make you lose 500 points, that is less than 200 point in a roll, so you can easily compensate and take the risk. 3) Don't be reckless. I use a benchmark of 450 point: if I score at least 450 points I bank, otherwise I keep rolling. But I have at least 5 dice to roll and not so much to lose - less than 1,000 - then I roll again. 4) Don't roll 2 die if you can roll 3 and don't roll 2 dice if you can roll 1. 2 dice is the worst combination of risk and opportunity.

It would appear there's been an update to the game, which has wiped all awards and settings, and no longer uses your Kongregate username as your player name. Anyone else seeing this?

What is wrong with this game. All of a sudden, it's an old version. All my awards are gone. It doesn't recognize me. It's calling me "your good self."

There is a problem with Kongregate. This is not the first game in the last several weeks that has automatically gone to an older version and wiped out all my history. Zilch still shows that I have accomplished the three achievements, but all my awards are gone and when I finish a game it TELLS me that I'm playing an outdated version. Come on Kongregate.

I swear, if this had actual money involved, Id be swindled out of every god damn cent xD. "Maybe this time ill get that roll, and get ahead...just maybe...NOPE. Zilched again. And comp got another 4k again, so Im screwed" xD

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...
