Reviewers noted a lack of a rewarding music system, such as the previous Hoyle bucks feature that allowed players to earn in-game currency to purchase music and other customization options. This absence has left some players disappointed, as it diminishes the overall experience.
“I liked the Hoyle Bucks system where you earned 'money' in the game that you could use to buy music, backgrounds, cards, face creator options, etc. None of that is here.”
