Get rid of the gadgets/bonuses and it can't be P2W, I mean seriously why'd you put something to influence the dice roll when what you get is luck anyway, plus the dice roll is important, don't make it unfair.

Just played a game where I continously landed on someones places, they somehow avoided mine almost all the time.

I also think it is pay to win. You pay money to get an unfair advantage. You can buy gold with money. With gold you can roll again if you don't like the outcome. You can also pay gold to roll even, pair or odd. If you don't pay money you won't get gold and don't have the option to do this.

The online multiplayer is limited to your chips. Without chips you can't play online. You will either have to buy them for money or wait another day to get new ones.

I don't mind if microtransactions are cosmetics only but if they change the gameplay it is clearly pay to win. You pay money to avoid bad outcomes. You pay money to reach your desired city. You pay money to avoid the city of your opponents. This is an unfair advantage you get for paying money and therefore called pay to win.

Never got a game like that. Would like to see this too.

I had a 1x1 game like that. Every single roll (or almost every single one), I landed on the opponent properties, while in the mean time, he avoided me 95% of the time.
But that game was made without gadgets...!!!

You can influence the roll of the dice, but can't actually choose where you want to go or which city you want to avoid.

As I expressed it on another thread, any single "bonus" can be obtain for free, just by playing, even in no gadgets tables.

If you purchase gold, with them, you can buy chips, or gadgets.

If you don't want to spend any money, you can!
- When you first enter the game, you get 5000 chips
- Each day, you can have a logging bonus increasing from 100 to 500 chips
- Each day, you have daily tasks you can complete:
* Completing 3 of them will give you a gift (every 5 gift is a golden gift)
* Completing all 5 will grant you 3000 chips.

Each gift contain chips, and gadgets (of course, you got more stuff on golden gifts).

Every single part of the game (except skins for dice) are obtainable for free.

You can play tenths/hundreds/thousands of game on "no gadgets" tables and stack them until you want to try a game with them, but you'll never have to if you don't want to!

So you can either spend some money to get bonuses and enjoy the game,... Or never spend a single $/€/£/...,... and still enjoy the game (and get chips and bonuses just by playing).

Yes, when creating/joining a table/game/lobby, you can select few options:
- Quick game, that brings the timer to 15min instead of 30;
- 2x2, to play, well, 2vs2;
- No gadgets, that sets a more conventional game.

The mimimum is 100 chips for an online game. You get only 1 to 5 games a day. If you play on a table where you need more than 100 chips its even less. When you are out of chips you have to play offline with bots just to complete the tasks. Isn't this just boring and a time waste?

Why can't we set it to 0 chips?

With the first 5000 chips you get, you can play up to 50 games, if you loose them all.

You can join only 100 chips bet table if you want. If no table is suitable for you, you can create one with a bet of 100 only.

Plus, FYI, you can't complete tasks offline (unless that changed with the lasts updates).

What would be the point of setting a bet to 0, unless the outcome to the game is that, if you win, you get nothing, since the contestants would have bet 0.

You could actually play a free to play game without paying money or be limited to your chips.

All you have to do is only play in no-gadget games. Don't get why people are not understanding that. 100 chip games are no-gadget by default. If you are joining a 500+ chip game in lobby just make sure the no-gadget column is checked. 99% percent of games I see are like that anyway.

In tournament games every player gets 5 gadgets only. No option to pay to get more there.
