The monetization model of the game primarily relies on ads, which many players find intrusive, but offers a $6 option to remove ads and unlock additional content. Players can access a free table initially, with more tables available through in-app purchases or by waiting for timers to expire. While some users express frustration with the ad frequency, others argue that purchasing tables is a reasonable solution for those who want an uninterrupted experience.
