this game is awesome! get it now! it has everything that the iphone has to offer. I dont like playing poker or anything, this is more like yahtzee or something. But there is achievements different unlock-able boards and dice, you unlock stuff through winning and play time. get this game it is so far my favorite on the iphone.

Agreed, VERY good game. Pretty simple but VERY addictive. The best part about it is that it's easy to start, and easy to stop. Even with just 2 or 3 minutes you can play a few rounds. And rounds last about 20 seconds so it's easy to stop.

The one thing that I don't get is why the computer always gets to throw last. This lets the computer decide if it wants to roll its third roll or not and may make me lose. For example, lets say I roll twice and have a full house. I am going to hold my dice for the third roll and the computer knows it has to beat me and if it ends up getting a straight, 4 or 5 of a kind, I lose and didn't get the chance to roll my 3rd time around.

Do you get to go last in Blackjack? Same difference here. Parts of the nature of gambling, luck and risk.

Damn you all to heck and back! After purchasing this game I am now addicted! I am so glad there isn't real money involved in the betting as then I would be in real trouble!

This isn't Dice blackjack. It's poker. And blackjack has a set of rules the dealer must abide by.

This has the same rules. Read the description for MotionX Poker Dice. "Challenge the Casino. Be a winner."

This is a standard casino-type game where you are betting against the house (Casino) to win money. In all such casino games, the house goes last.

You're not playing against another person or people like in Texas Hold'em or even 5 card stud.

The ease and frequency with which the dealer just happens to get a roll that just beats my current hand has me questioning the randomness of the dealer's final rolls.

Maddening, isn't it? No different IMHO than playing Blackjack. You think you've got a winning hand with 20, and the dealer hits 21.
