The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads and the necessity to purchase in-game currency (gems) to progress. While some appreciate the option to pay for an ad-free experience, others feel that the game becomes a cash grab, requiring constant ad watching or spending money to avoid stagnation. Overall, players suggest that the balance between free play and monetization needs improvement to enhance the gaming experience.
- “Great game, no ads. Gems are really hard to come by in the late game, so it's essential to save them and only spend them if you need to.”
- “It is kinda fun for what it is; also, almost no ads is amazing.”
- “Great with the 'no ads package.'”
- “Some game mechanics are questionable such as requiring the use of gems to progress but only supplying 10 a day without watching any ads, basically forcing a slogfest of logging in once a day to claim 10 gems every day for 20 days straight just to purchase 1 upgrade that is gatekeeping your progress for the rest of the game.”
- “The game is fun at first and that's the problem; the more you advance in the game, the more you have to watch ads to upgrade. If you don't want to buy things from the game, you end up watching more ads than actually playing, which defeats the purpose of gaming.”
- “Pay to play and forced ads if you want to progress.”

Players express frustration with the game's story progression, primarily due to bugs and the reliance on in-game currency (gems) that can only be acquired through real money purchases or daily claims. Many report being stuck on quests due to these issues, which hampers their ability to advance in the game and complete missions, leading to a negative impact on their overall experience. Despite the game's potential, these obstacles significantly detract from the enjoyment of the story.
- “This game is a very good game but most of it is getting gems and watching ads. On rank 3, I am stuck on the reward mission because when I get 3rd, it says I got 4th. I've done it 5 times and the same thing happened every time; it's getting frustrating.”
- “One of the missions is to upgrade Pai Gow to level 4, but I cannot do so without a rank 10 casino, which makes it impossible for me to complete the game.”
- “Diamonds are so key that I got stuck because I didn't use the diamonds for the areas with missions.”
- “One of the missions is to upgrade Pai Gow to level 4 but cannot do so without a rank 10 casino, which makes it impossible for me to complete the game.”
- “The quests requiring a certain amount of cards are impossible to complete unless I buy them.”
- “This game is very good, but most of it revolves around getting gems and watching ads. However, at rank 3, I am stuck on the reward mission because when I achieve the 3rd task, it says I got the 4th. I've done it five times, and the same thing happens every time. It's getting frustrating.”

- “Some game mechanics are questionable, such as requiring the use of gems to progress but only supplying 10 a day without watching any ads.
