Who it's for

Coin Master is for players looking for a simple, casual, and addictive game to pass the time R3R9. It appeals to those who enjoy slot machine mechanics, village building, and light social interaction through raiding R79R80. It is not for players who dislike frequent in-app purchase prompts, expect deep strategy, or are easily frustrated by perceived unfair game mechanics R4R6R25.

Evidence note: The recent reviews show a strong dichotomy, with many 5-star ratings praising the game's fun and addictiveness, while numerous 1-star ratings highlight significant frustrations with monetization and perceived rigging. The high lifetime rating suggests a generally positive experience over time, but the recent negative sentiment indicates a potential decline in user satisfaction or an increase in aggressive tactics.

  5. [R5] 5/5 · US Relax: I let the coin collect themselves
  6. [R9] 5/5 · US Interesting premise: Time sponge worth it to just click away and have some fun.
  7. [R22] 5/5 · US ITS SO EASY(in a good way): To be honest this game is so good and easy you don’t have to spend money I just started 30 minutes ago and I’m on the 8 place it’s not that hard don’t listen to other people try it out it’s so easy
  8. [R79] 5/5 · GB Best game: Best game ever especially when you’re bored download it now and u also get to raid friends and family
  9. [R80] 5/5 · GB Rating: Very good game I love the atacking its good.
  10. [R75] 5/5 · GB Best game ever: I use to play this game all the time but then I stopped because it got boring but now I have come back and there is so many new updates I’m addicted best game I’ve ever played
  11. [R82] 5/5 · GB Very addicting and good game: First mobile game that I’ve actually also spent money on, you don’t have to but it definitely helps to get those extra spin you’re struggling to reach. It’s addicting and there’s always new events and rewards which make it rewarding to the player. I think it’s one of the best mobile games for sure.
  12. [R25] 2/5 · US Stop with the annoying popups every three seconds: Game is fine. What’s really annoying is any time you do anything, run out of spins, change screens, etc - 800 things pop up to try enticing you to buy something. Every. Time. It is ridiculous to have to close out the same game ads repeatedly upon repeatedly just to play a simple game.
  13. [R41] 4/5 · US This game is so fun, but it has minor flaws!: I would recommend this game to everyone, it is very fun! I would give A 5 star review except once you run out of spins you can’t do anything but wait for a hour (I’m realizing this has been fixed with Facebook posts and the sharing feature, but I think this shouldn’t be the only way to keep playing). This game is really good, but I want to leave a comm
  14. [R48] 2/5 · US Never ending pop ups: This game would be so much more enjoyable if you didnt have to close 500 pop up ads and notifications every single time you open the app or play it. It really ruins the experience.
  15. [R62] 1/5 · GB Too many pop ups: Used to play this game loads a couple of years ago and just recently redownloaded it. The amount of pop ups you get is ridiculous it takes about a minute or 2 to get in to the game and do your spins, and then every time you run out of spins you get assaulted with about 7 or 8 pop ups continuously. Puts me off playing it and debating deleting it again just for this reason
  16. [R6] 1/5 · US Trash: There is absolutely no strategy to the game. The algorithm is set up so That you never actually win anything. You only spend money to advance. Find another game
  17. [R12] 1/5 · US Blocking access to next levels: I have 43K coins to spin with and they keep resetting the amount of time to bet on the pot! I’m trying to save my coins and they keep resetting the timer so I don’t wanna play anymore! Scamming us so we can pay to play
  18. [R18] 1/5 · US Money Eater: This game will make you feel frustrated and make you spend money. I actually ended up spent a lot of money and still don't get what I want.
  19. [R30] 3/5 · US Overall solid: This game would be goated if it wasn’t so damn obviously scripted
  20. [R84] 3/5 · GB Want my game fixed!: I love this game, but since the last update, I can’t play as when I click on the game, it tells me rhino has defended my board while I was away, but there’s no way of getting rid of it off my screen. I’ve tried deleting the app and reinstalling. !£5 nothing!
  21. [R73] 1/5 · GB doesnt work: played for half an hour and none of the prizes unlocked
  22. [R33] 1/5 · US Scamming game!: Algorithm turns against you.
  23. [R39] 1/5 · US Addiction gets to you.: It’s an addictive game. They will take your money and not take care of you when they screw you over. lol
  24. [R43] 1/5 · US Do not make any purchases from app: The app advertises one thing but charges your card a totally different price.. do not make any purchases what so ever it’s a scam
  25. [R4] 1/5 · US Dumb Time-Suck: This isn’t a game. You make no meaningful choices. You tap buttons and get occasionally advertised to. The only reason I downloaded it was for the points in the Chevron app.
  26. [R67] 2/5 · GB Repetitive: Not sure I really get this game. You just seem to spin a wheel to win coins then build villages
  27. [R91] 3/5 · GB Decent: Decent to play but I don’t fully get it. Maybe playing more will help :0)
  28. [R72] 2/5 · GB Pop ups: Honeslty this game used to be decent now every time you run out of spins or anything you get given 20 pop ups of different options to buy them really unnecessary when you just wanan play on and gain spins other ways all you get is a load of pop ups preventing you to play
  29. [R15] 5/5 · US Best game ever: Luv it have played it for hours can’t set it down
