The monetization strategy of the game heavily relies on advertisements, with users reporting frequent interruptions after nearly every match or level. While many ads are short and can be skipped after a few seconds, the overall volume is considered excessive, leading to frustration among players who feel it detracts from the gameplay experience. Some users expressed a desire for a paid option to remove ads entirely, highlighting the intrusive nature of the current ad placements and content.

βGood game, very smooth, no glitches.β
βFor a mobile app type of game, it has user-friendly good graphics, no glitches, and is a good way to kill time.β
βNot once but three times in a row, I end back at the table start aiming again, and it freezes five seconds later. An ad starts, and there's no way around it. After that, back to the table start to aim, and the whole thing happens again.β
βThird, once you get to the Indiana/Kentucky round (two rounds after finishing up the Louisiana round), the game freezes and then your phone freezes.β
βGreat game, but when you win the table, it goes to ads. At times, it freezes, and you won't get the bonus. You play the table over, and the tables you get are challenging to test your skills.β
