The monetization model of the game is heavily criticized for its reliance on intrusive microtransactions and ads, which many players find frustrating and predatory. While it is technically possible to enjoy the game without spending money, the constant pressure to purchase virtual chips and the potential for pay-to-win dynamics detract from the overall experience. Players express concern that the game's design encourages addictive behavior and disrupts gameplay with frequent promotions and advertisements.
“Simple poker game with a twist of monopoly for monetization, it's free to play you really don't need to spend money on it (unless you're addicted).”
“You're perfectly able to play without microtransactions as long as you don't lose every time you play.”
“It's a great addictive game, but as most 'free to play' games, it tries to force microtransactions down your throat.”
“While it's possible to enjoy the game without spending money, the heavy focus on microtransactions and the potential for pay-to-win elements can be frustrating for players who prefer a more balanced and skill-based gaming experience.”
“There are too many ads, and when you run out of chips, there's nothing you can do unless you buy them with real money or wait a ridiculously long time.”

The graphics of the game are generally described as decent and visually appealing, capturing the essence of classic board games like Monopoly and poker. While some users appreciate the aesthetics and animations, others criticize the quality, noting that it feels more like a mobile port with locked resolutions and bugs.

“Great graphics, many objectives to complete and have fun!”
“Graphics and sound are amazing, overall a wonderful game, and also many side games and other casino games like blackjack.”
“Pretending for a moment this isn't the evil of cancer manifesting itself on Steam with the intention of exploiting and entrapping PC gamers into gambling and debt, it's a mobile app ported to PC, with locked resolution and poor quality 2D visuals, so it doesn't meet the standards for a PC game.”
“While it doesn't reach the level of more graphically intensive mobile games, it remains faithful to the board game's art style.”
“The game visuals and the things implemented are really nice but I cannot get around the fact that I am playing alone on any server vs turbo buffed bots that get flushes and straight draws or just get the nuts every single hand.”
