The monetization strategy of the game heavily relies on frequent advertisements, with many users reporting ads after nearly every hand, leading to significant interruptions in gameplay. While some players find the ads manageable or short, the overwhelming consensus is that the sheer volume and length of ads detract from the overall experience, making the game feel more like an advertisement platform than a playable card game. Many users express a desire for a paid option to remove ads entirely, indicating that the current ad model is a major drawback.
“I play games where there are no ads unless you want some type of perk.”
“I have the paid version so no ads, which is great.”
“Great game, no ads!”
“I don't mind an ad in a free app, but I draw the line at waiting for ads longer than playing the actual game.”
“You'll spend more time watching ads than playing.”
“The game itself is good, but I gave it a 4 stars because some of the ads can really turn you off from continuing to play the game because unlike some ads that give option to skip or close, I have come across a few that won't let you skip or close unless you try playing their games or take you directly to Google Play to install the app.”

“It's fast and fair, and I've experienced no glitches of any kind. I play almost every day, and if I don't have much time, I can close the app and when I return 3 or 4 days later, it picks up right where it was closed. Great game, love it!”

Players appreciate the game's music for providing a relaxing backdrop, enhancing the overall experience. However, many express frustration with intrusive ads that disrupt their listening, as these ads often play loudly and interrupt personal music or podcasts. Overall, while the in-game music is well-received, the ad interruptions detract from the enjoyment for some users.
“Great game to just put on some music and play to forget my troubles for a while.”
“The game could use some relaxing music; I had installed this game before because an ad kept appearing during gameplay, so I'm glad that's fixed. I was missing this version, especially the heart-breaking music and that wolf!”
