✦ AI summary

Backgammon Premium suffers from fundamental issues that frustrate players, including complaints about seemingly biased dice rolls favoring opponents, an incorrect board layout, and confusing point/betting mechanics that penalize winning. The game also struggles with matchmaking, leaving players unable to find human opponents or compete against functional AI, making it difficult to enjoy even basic gameplay. Players generally advise against this game due to these pervasive problems.

I can't recommend this game. It seems like every game I play my opponent keeps rolling doubles, while most of the time when I roll doubles its when I cant move. This last game was the one that did it for me---my opponent rolled doubles on 4 of his first 9 moves. That was just the game that made me want to review this, but this stuff happens 1 out of every 2 games I play. I suspect this game is pitting me against bots and making me lose so that I purchase more coins, which I will never do.

At the moment of writing there are no other plyers, so not possible to play. Also not against a computer. Some time ago there was a player available and we played two games in total. which was fun. It seems a bet is always to be done.. not sure if that can be switched of.... and just play for fun.
