Looking for a platform for playing live backgammon

Post by ArianeKl5 »

Hello to you,

Could someone possibly recommend a platform for playing live backgammon where the algorythm is not a catastrophy like it is here on BGA but is more "natural"?

I love to play backgammon - but the algorythm is driving me crazy here - and would be very greatful for a tip.

Thank you very much in advance.

Hello,

I'm not sure if you will be satisfied with the algorithms, but I can recommend you both https://www.playok.com/fr/backgammon and https://backgammongalaxy.com/ (very strong players there)

Have fun!

You mean you're looking for a platform, where the dice rolls are artificially smoothened and balanced?
You want a reliably even and fair distribution which random numbers that are not manipulated cannot offer?
I don't know if something like that exists. Seems like a lot of work to even out the erratic results that randomness tends to produce. It's just so much easier to just use normal RNG - like here on BGA - and accept that sometimes people get more lucky than others.

The random will be the same in other plateform (so, fake until you try to prove it's fake and fail at it :mrgreen: )

Is there a platform where I can choose the dice result I want? :D
