Year 2017-2018 I was an addicted player of 8ballpool and in a way or another I was always injecting money in their system. I understand how it works: if they see you are inclined to pay with some form of addiction for it, they tweak the game algorithm and the system will make you lose. At the end of 2018 i met my brother in law whose never spent a dime in the game and he's with a balance of ******* coins. He tried to play with my account and lost all the games finding very difficult to win. 2019: I began playing as Guest and guess what: ******* coins with a rate of 60% winning. I WILL NEVER PUT ANY SINGLE PENNY INTO THIS SCAM
At first I think well this is the best game I ever played. But yesterday I had 70.000 coins and purposely wild shot till it was all gone because I seen me lose games when should have won one game my opponent made a shot on the eight ball and missed he or computer still won. Seen other crazy shots that why I just shoot my coins away and unsubscribe feel like it's more scam than true fun.it may be hacking in this game not sure but not my problem any more.
I don't know how many games I've lost when I should've won. I've sunk the 8 ball multiple times then resets the table and says I ran out of time. It says I've ran out of time all the time and it's driving me insane. Please fix this!'
I have played this game for years and I have never hit the big money on the spinning wheel. Also noted since I moved up to 113 that there is a lot of favoritism to the higher seeds. I also believe the game keeps track of whether or not you buy something. You start over a lot. I like to play but the game needs to be honest.
Like the game but instead of giving me the winnings when I win the game they take double away from my account
It very obviously decides who's going to win to try to make you buy yourself up. Could be a great game if they let it play itself
Pathetic game. Literally pathetic. The physics is ridiculous. The power is broken. The spin is broken. The cue ball goes in off ALL THE TIME. And so does the 8 ball as well. I constantly get paired up with level 100+ when I'm level 28. Those are on the days where everything goes wrong - and then you have the days when literally everything goes right for you, and everything goes wrong for your opponent. Not fair. Don't even know how people can do well on this (well maybe they spend money and get rewarded). Spin and win completely fixed. Tournaments rigged so you draw high level people. Full of Indonesians too that are probably computers that are inevitably going to win. Pathetic.
I had gave them a bad review in the past but now I am not sure I know they give you free coins I have had good time playing mini clip 8 ball every thing may not be 100 percent perfect just don't spend money they give free coins the higher up games cost a little so does a corvette if you drive one I give them a 5 pretty good game the world's not 100 percent perfect people don't go to their jobs hoping they won't get paid
It's all about coins to play. The game is designed to help you lose and with streaks of losses. What they would call bad luck. Don't take the time to play or pay to play.
Game blows bring back the old one you geniuses Game does not play smooth at all. The older one was so much more fun this one skips takes forever to come up. Get rid of it it blows, blows, blows.
If you look at the wheel it appears as though you have a 1-15 chance to hit $200,000. I've spun that thing thousands of times and usually only get 150 or 250. But Never ever $200,000.
The new 8 ball game F#$&@ing sucks... doesn't play or look real plays all choppy... can't play someone more than once... stick power stinks... they said they changed it for internet safety I say if you were going to make a simple game so a 8 year old could play it on there phone at school mission accomplished mini clip. Lost me as a consumer
Mini Clip 8 Ball Pool is crooked.
Since I downloaded and installed the 8 Ball Pool game update in April, I have had coins stolen from my account by Mini Clip.
For example: Say I have 352,500 coins and go into Tokyo. I pay the 2500 coins leaving me with 350K. If I lose the game and exit to the main screen, I have 340K in coins.
This happens daily, It will sometimes lower my totals and if I had won the game I would, for example, have 345K coins.
I have reported this to Mini Clip at least ten times with dates and time of occurrence.
I have had one response saying I need to take in account of cue charging costs and losses.
Does anyone have an actual email address for these *holes?
They do not care one iota about their customers.
No wonder they are nicknamed "Money clip".
This game cheats more than a Las Vegas hooker... Absolutely a joke. Even the review asks to "add credibility with a photo."
Now I understand why I have been seeing some very negative about 8 ball pool... It seems that there is a day of the week that it is your turn to win. There have been several times that a ball has stopped right at the edge of the hole and it plenty of force to drop in, this caused the lose of the game... Now I understand
Apponet ran out of time, but they still let him take the shot and he won the game! Cheating game definite! The only reason I gave it a 1 rating is because it won't let you leave it blank!
The physics of this game are subtly tilted to favour one player over the other. Breaks are inconsistent and on a streak will always favour you or screw you over no matter how you perform them, spin is also inconsistent, either scratching the que ball or blocking you in regardless of what spin setting you use. Whatever settings they use to achieve this also seem to be present in practise mode so that it can't be proven, as despite playing against myself I will quite often wind up with a score of 2-10 or vice versa, even when I start putting a little bit more effort into winning on the losing side. They clearly don't want people who don't regularly spend to have a higher win rate than 50%
The Game sucks a**, because it is rigged by Miniclip. They're only interested in money, NOT you're game experience! How many of you know when the game's algorithm's are working making you lose? You can do whatever you want... you'll still lose the match. Ask yourselves: why did I scratch?, or snookered myself? Or. O?. Or.?! There are countless ways the game can make you lose. Like cluttering up you balls, hiding the 8 ball, etc. But the most blatant sh*t Minicrap pulls is when they drop your connection. All other apps work fine... just Miniclip drops out. And it almost ALWAYS happens at the critical stages of the game (you're about to win), At the end stages you can notice when the algorithms kick in. The game becomes a bit sluggish and at this point your well played ball bounces out of the pocket, or you inexplicably scratch the cue ball or you get snookered or... or you lose connection when the game doesn't have any other tick left.
MY advice again: play ONLY with FREE coins if you must! Never purchase anything from Miniclip, they're scammers. On itself the game can be fun. When miniclip doesn't take over to control the outcome. But when they do, all natural physics go out the door and you feel like you got scammed. Well, that's exactly what happened! If I could, id give them a MINUS 5 star rating. The worst of the worst game to spent cash on. Don't do it!
Cheers to all and have a wonderful Christmas.
If the games weren't rigged in favor of the weaker player, the stronger players would soon dominate the site. And that's bad for business. PurePlay Poker does the same thing for the same reason. Stay away.
I played a 67% guy, and got robbed of a win. I hit the last ball in, and the cue ball slid down on the side rail close to the 8 ball to tap in and win the game. But, there was a time lag or some glitch, and it blinked for his turn, and he then finished and won. I then knew for a fact that this game is rigged. There was 2 full seconds that lapsed and then it gave the ball to him, after I had already hit my ball in, and the cue ball rolled close to the 8 ball for an easy win. I am 85 and have never had that happen to me ever. So, I know it wasnt a time lag. It just didnt want me to beat this 67% Pool Emperor.
Answer: Yes I feel your frustration. It is like clockwork that when you are on a losing streak mini clip will start stacking the breaks unevenly against you. I play only 9 ball. Most of the time breaks are pretty even. Break this game you wont break the next. However in 9 ball the game can be over on the break... sure enough if your struggling youll get 3 breaks out of ten and 4 of the breaks against you will guaranteed be goksen breaks. Its painfull losing 40mil in coins in 4 games without paticipating. But miniclips games are not supposed to be fair. Like all gambling machines. Its designed to rape you good and propper
