This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I have been playing The Zynga game for about six weeks. I initially purchased 50, 000 coins for I thought would be for 50 games. But no. As soon as I purchase coins, Zynga without my knowledge or consent increases Both
The minimum buyin for a game
And increases my minimum bet ( often to 10x my last bet). This happens every time I leave the game or change tables, so it requires one to be on ones toes at all times and to check everything all the time. They do it sneakily.

Frankly, I didnt notice what Zynga was doing initially but did notice the following as well. As soon as I purchased chips, I lost over and over again having been paired with such inferior players that lost purposefully

Also, Zynga does not provide any supervisory authority over the game making players subject to horrible bullying and swearing. Players can "throw" games with recourse - which happens continually. Cheating with pre formed two man teams is rampant. Don't complain as the perpetrators will just ramp up and Zynga will do nothing. I deleted it, never will spend another penny on any Zynga game ever again, and will tell everyone I know about this fraudulent Sam of a game

The person commenting above could not be more right and I think the inferior player that they're assigning to us when you don't come in with a teammate on your own, is a bot of some sort because they have no sense of the game whatsoever or they bid low and quit the table or when it says computer my stupid computer partner did too and got seven and I couldn't get him out of the lead, so then all of the bags piled up and we lose another hundred points beside the person quitting the game who bid one and the computer managed to pile of five! It's a cheat, it's nothing but a cheat, and because it's housed in Turkey good luck with getting anybody with any reasonable common sense to answer you because all of the protests that I have made over the years, which is my own stupid fault for coming back to this dumb game, falls on deaf ears to a bunch of people who could care less about the Americans playing the game. They just want the money!

This is absolutely the most cheating app I've ever played in my life! I just sent in on a million Dollar hand because I've lost six or seven straight playing with people who simply have no clue how to play the game. In each of those previous games the player I was lucky enough to draw, managed to get set on the first hand in every game and in the last game for a million coins, the woman's name that popped up she did one and jumped out of the room. In the computer managed to win six hands!. And you have chat band me again for 3 days, there was no partner at the table when I said that I was talking to the computer. The best two hands that I had during this five or six hand game or when I went blind low! Clearly showing that your system is designed to screw somebody when they pick blind low at a time in the game when they would actually be choosing to do that because they were in a predicament of needing a bunch of points. You don't give a rat's anus about fair play because most of the time when you join a table and I already sent another note before the million dollar game to you folks about two people who were cheating because when one person goes low and the partner throws the three of diamonds and the other person throws the Ace of clubs you know that they're talking to each other. But you don't do anything to police, that sort of illegal, immoral and unfair play, do you?

I've had it! I've complained about your game for years and like a sucker or a chump I keep coming back well not anymore. Because you don't do anything to clean up the unfair play. And just like I'm telling you right now the person who came into the room and bid one in the computer got six! It just tells you the sort of people around here trolling around. And as far as I know that person who bid one could have been working with the other two people on the opposite team. This is supposed to be fun and entertaining and clearly it just isn't. There's people with astronomical amounts of coins build up in their banks, and they have not played enough games to where they could have amassed that amount of coins. So the next thing you're going to say is well they could have bought them... Look for the amount that they have they would have to be multi-billionaires in real life. So you know you've got people who are out there cheating and you still don't do anything about it.

That's all I got to say cuz it's not going to matter you're going to write back some lame excuse and not really care about taking care of your customers and so this one's walking away...

Stay away they dont care about fair play.

The game ready does cheat a lot. When you buy more coins you always seem to loose. When a player quits the game the computer takes over and the computer deals itself a lot of 7 and 5 which are more points. The game give me a lot of 1 and two so you loose. Some players are really ignorant and swear constantly and the game does nothing about it plus people can show awful pictures which are disgusting. One player even had Fuc.. You. for their name. The game can also banned you which I believe is through Facebook, not sure.
The game Cheats you of your money.

I still haven't gotten a response from my complaint I sent earlier. Spades Plus game. I can't even get anything on the free spin but the lowest amount. I've lay 4 days and won coins once. On the 3 I usually start spending money. I used to spend 150.00 a month but you need to take control of the people running the computers they pick and choose who wins. It's supposed to be on an algorithm system. But it's not. Cheating isn't going to keep customers I'm not the only one complaining. pauline.strait@yahoo.com

I have played Wizard of OZ, Willy Wonka, and Hit it Rich for many years. I started with Wizard of OZ Slotz.

I was playing Hit it Rich and I love this one game Bonanza Town. I loved it. I had so much fun. In the middle of a Jackpot...the game stopped with a notice "We Just Made Improvements". This happened in Wicked Witch and other games. After I reload, the winnings are gone...and the game is NEVER the same. I am about to never play again. I have played since 2012. This is 2022. I had a whole photo series of screenshots I emailed and the email no longer works. This happens a lot. Fix BonanzaTown back the way it was! : ( I can not find the screenshots. My gameplay was cut off. Notification of improvements and it has been terrible to play ever since. That game is the only motivation I have for Hit it Rich. A few games I like okay, but you messed with my FAVORITE.

Been playing for several years. Today my coins disappeared and they said I broke a rule? Won't tell me which rule I broke and I know did nothing wrong. Played with random partner and won quite a few games. Polite. Sent gifts to almost all players who sat at the table. All of a sudden my partner was kicked from the table and had no coins left. Mine deminished substantial as well. Dont waste your time playing this game at alllll.

The three bots that respond to you when you complain are called Heather, Mel and Pearl.

I am so ticked off at this site..

They allow cheats to run rampant. I actually think some cheats are Zynga bots, too…to steal our chips so that we give money to Zynga to buy more.

The first time I was chat banned was when a player asked where I live. If you click on my profile it says “Virgin Islands.”

I responded “Virgin Islands.”

Five day ban for saying where I live. I complained and actually thought the site might see reason, but Mel the bot, didn’t.

Yesterday I was banned for wring the word “crap.” Nowhere on this planet or universe is that word offensive.

But Mel, Pearl and Heather disagree.

I only met Heather after 16 “human, please” requests.

Apparently she is the bot who supervises bots.

I would be happy to start a not-for-profit spades program if anyone can tell me how.

Crap, says Bonnie M Anderson, from the US Virgin Islands

Will not give any Zynga game another dime. Spades Plus is a complete Scam ripoff. They set the algorithm so you keep spending, spending, spending trying to change your luck. It isn't luck and it isn't you. The game is full of bots and you constantly loose, loose, loose. Save your money. The company is a cheat!

They have taken the fun out of spades they cater to people who spend money they say the hands are done by algorithms who you trying to kid retards algorithms don't repeat hands on a regular basis nor do they deal 2 bid hands repetively.once in a blue moon they will let you win only to loose it all after you have obviously had some sort of trauma in your life to cause you to have to cheat shame on you. Really this site should be investigated id shut you ingrained down

I've been playing spades Plus for years, the only problem is when you pay for a subscription. I didn't get what I paid for and I asked for refunds and they put the blame on everybody else except them self. They won't even give you any game money and that's free to them.

Zynga app is not trustworthy.

They create pop ups ads not stop before you play on Spades plus.

I have been billed twice now without my authorization.

There is no menu to delete credit card or bank information on the app settings.

Billed $97.[protected]--- Now i have to go thru process of disputing the charge.

Do not upload your bank debit card.
