The monetization strategy of the game is primarily based on optional ads that provide in-game rewards, which many players appreciate as they are not intrusive or forced. However, there are significant concerns regarding the high cost of in-app purchases, particularly the $10 fee to remove ads, which some players find excessive given the game's reliance on ads for progression. Overall, while the game offers a less aggressive ad experience compared to many others, the pricing of microtransactions and occasional technical issues with ad loading detract from the overall enjoyment.

- “No ads are forced upon you, which is rare these days.”
- “Good progression, microtransactions aren't over the top, and you get that nice dopamine rush when you roll that 5 of a kind.”
- “Ultimately, this made the game very hard to progress without watching a lot of ads to gain multipliers or free points.”
- “The game relies too heavily on microtransactions.”
- “3 days now I haven't been able to do anything unless I watch a countless number of ads, which have stopped rewarding anything helpful.”

grinding

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be both addictive and tedious, with early progress feeling rewarding but later stages becoming excessively time-consuming and frustrating. While some enjoy the strategic elements and the satisfaction of building a powerful deck, many express disappointment over the slow progression and the repetitive nature of grinding, especially when resets yield minimal rewards. Overall, the game is seen as enjoyable for those who appreciate grinding, but it can become a chore as players reach the endgame.
- “Progress spikes massively early on and then goes nowhere as you fall asleep grinding out a golden deck and hoping you get good time skips on the roulette table.”
- “This is very disheartening when grinding for 2 hours then resetting for only 2% of progress.”
- “Progression of the game is to get a full deck of cards, then reset your progress entirely 54 times to get a full deck of golden cards which will take days of tedious grinding, reset your progress entirely again, into a casino with stupidly small perks all just to prestige and reset over and over again, it's not worth the active time waste involved.”
stability

The game suffers from significant stability issues, with frequent crashes and freezes that can even lead to hard resets of devices. While the core gameplay remains enjoyable, numerous bugs and performance lags detract from the overall experience, making it difficult to fully appreciate the game as intended. Many users express frustration over these technical problems, suggesting that the game is poorly optimized for mobile platforms.
- “The game is incredibly buggy, most notably in that it frequently crashes during normal play.”
- “The freezes vary from the app just needing to be shut off and restarted to your whole phone hard freezing where you need to do the three-button hold emergency shut off because the regular one-button hold won't work anymore.”
- “While it is a direct port of the PC game and therefore quite enjoyable, a multitude of bugs and glitches ruin the overall experience. Some are minor, like the controls and interface being a bit slow, but the game constantly crashes after 30 minutes of continued use, slowdowns and freezes being common (although usually solved by a forced restart). The biggest and most frustrating issue for me, however, was once I finally gilded my entire deck, the button to invest in a casino wouldn't work!”
