- Heheh karate · v1.0.113
I ran into this game thru Freecash and at first I thought I would only play the first few levels and then move on, like happens with most games. However this game is so addictive and keeps me coming back every single time. Love it.
- Amanda L Dean · v1.0.113
I was bored with all the games I play so I thought I would try this game. I’m so glad I did because I’m having a lot of fun playing. Great Game
- Marbles on · v1.0.113
Started as something when bored, now I’m hooked
- RTLacyKay · v1.0.113
Fun game
- Ragingmamba · v1.0.113
There are way too many pop up ads in the game. Every time you open the game you have to exit out of 5+ money grab ads. And every time you battery is zero they pop up again. And if you don’t click correctly you almost but something. Fun game but the ads ruin it.
- AliPaigeF · v1.0.113
I like game. It can be a fun relaxing game. But it crashes on my IPad 9 so often it kind of killed the fun. Never had this on ANY OTHER GAME!
- Tully77Mars · v1.0.113
Well was hoping the update would fix the game freeze and crashes but nope. I can’t get anywhere playing the game because every time I try and push the spin it crashes. Very disappointing. I was enjoying playing game then after I playing awhile it’s nothing but freezes and crashing. Very disappointed
- Could be fun times · v1.0.113
Fun until you hit the paywall. Can only do so much in a day on the game before the ads become overwhelming and it takes money to do anything else.
- Enochase · v1.0.113
it used to be more fun and you could complete more of the mini games. but now it’s soooo obviously rigged. like you’d be close to completing it but they make sure to not give you the last piece you need to complete for the next prize
- sj2234 · v1.0.113
Quickly becoming pay to win, the amount of popups is out of hand. Events are now repetitive and are harder to get resources for (hence, pay to win). Used to really enjoy this game and now im about 1 day away from uninstalling and forgetting it exists
- j to the p, that be me · v1.0.113
The game initially is fun and worth the daily check ins. However, once you get to a certain point the game starts rigging the spins so that you never progress until it is ready for you to. Ex: I have been 10 rockets (points) from a big reward for TWO days now because the spins “coincidentally” never land on rockets. But I’m certain once the game resets the timing & progress and I “lose” I will magically start spinning rockets again. Also the over use of AI graphics is disheartening.
- ZA-Gamer · v1.0.112
The game is still fun, and I have enjoyed it a lot. I was a daily player and have advanced far. However, if I wanted to pay for the few purchases I made on your external website, I would have done so over the last several weeks. Now that any purchase greater than $2.99 MUST be made outside the app, I will be spending less time and $$ on the game.
- Rewound to middle school · v1.0.112
This game used to be great. But now it’s just a cash grab. I’m not above spending a little money on a game but it’s a constant spend requirement. And spending $5 might get you an extra 10 minutes of play. They say this game is designed for enjoyment without spending money, it’s a lie. You can’t complete a single challenge without spending money. They have made it impossible and they know it. Do better for the people that have played for a while before you lose us all.
- ltsgettinglate · v1.0.112
This game used to be fun until they updated it and made it harder to win and you can’t even complete partners anymore and its impossible to complete albums. It’s all about the developers trying to make money. Don’t waste your money for this. Im about to delete this game.
- Bribee279 · v1.0.112
I love this game but it’s not playable. It crashes or freezes 1 minute into playing it. It didn’t do this the first time I played it but after I progressed the game it’s basically unplayable. I have to completely close the app for it to unfreeze and or open the app back up after it crashes. But like I said, it only last about 1 minute before it crashes or freezes again.
- hrbugg7 · v1.0.112
Fine if you don’t mind clicking 8-30 ads, offers, and updates every time you want to play.
- Estimated->Eyes · v1.0.112
At first the game was decent enough where you could earn your prizes and upgrade your park with ease but now the game barely gives you what you need to finish your team events and those events cheat whatever bet you have it on you are most likely going to get a very small prize so this game should fix these issues before they lose more players. 😡
- Critic's Review's · v1.0.112
Don’t bother downloading if you aren’t willing to spend money. The only way to progress/keep playing is to spend an unworldly amount of money. The “rewards” given from mini games and leveling up is a joke. The cost of spins/energy is completely ridiculous. Would recommend monopoly go over this, as they’ve copied most their game play and mini games. You’ll get more bang for your buck there.
- Nehgame · v1.0.112
There no races can we have a race
- Niko palacio · v1.0.111
Have generally liked the game but one of the new changes that have been made to the game is making me question deleting. Now if you press the button to spin and you don’t have enough energy for a spin after this next one it comes up with all these pop ups. I want to use as much of the spin energy that I can but it’s annoying having to close out of all the pop ups that now show up. Prior this would only happen if you didn’t have enough energy to spin which made some sense (was annoying still but at least could avoid). I’m close to deleting this app with this change.
- No habla espanol · v1.0.111
Recently the adds have been crazy. They are popping up over and over again. I’ve loved this game for a while now except for the adds.
- Lhousey · v1.0.111
Since the upgraded version it’s 100 times worse now. Definitely losing interest in this game. The odds are stacked so high up against you, it infuriates me. Been playing for a year and a half, I have only completed my album once. Get multiple gold packs to only receive dupes. Developers, listen up, you have totally took the enjoyment out of this game. You’re actually worse than MONOPOLY GO, now. Quit being soooo greedy, it’s just a game!! And I’m not spending a penny on this game!!
- Carnival sucks · v1.0.111
Fun game if you don’t mind pop-ups. You have to click through 10-15 pop-ups of them trying to get you to buy stuff before you can get to the actual game (I’ve had as many as 23 in one go). And heaven forbid you try to spin when you’re out of energy because more freaking pop-ups. Also, the game needs to add an option to rate people you partner up with. I want to be able to downvote or flag people I’ve partnered with in the past who never actually play so that I can be sure to never team up with them again.
- J-Dawn · v1.0.111
I enjoy playing to pass the time, the revenge is fun when you carnival is attacked
- Pinkigirl24 · v1.0.111
Love it! I do wish they made it easier to get the tokens like they did before.
- CallaLily1206 · v1.0.111
Fun game I play everyday
- Ninam005 · v1.0.111
Okay for starters I got into the game but it said I’m banned until 2099/01/01. LIKE WTH..?????
- Emdnbdsjfbenkdfen · v1.0.111
So I’ve been playing for a few months and everything was great until this latest update. Now when other players attack you the level of your ride drops so you have to use coins to raise the level of your ride again! As you get to the higher levels every update on your rides is more expensive and now you’re having to spend more because you can’t check the game every hour of the day. This has really made this game frustrating to play.
- hawkwardddd · v1.0.111
This is one of my Favorite games (literally my favorite ❤️) and don’t get me started on how GREAT it is when traveling! One thing I would like you to change , the age restrictions I am 10 and now that you changed it I can’t use it so please change that please 🙏😀🙏
- Cats and soup fan 3426 · v1.0.111
I have played this game for a couple years. Since the update it has become trash! You spend way more batteries than you win! Rewards are so small it makes no sense to play the events! It takes thousands (20-50,000) of batteries to win 1000! Be ready to pay money if you want to get anywhere with this game! Not recommended!
- Ts4331 · v1.0.111
I used to love this game, but with this most recent update this app has lost a loyal customer. I hate the new layout and how everything has become a money grab. Everything is so much harder to win now and that has taken away from the joy I used to feel playing this. I miss how it used to be before these last two updates…
- Iyfoyfyo · v1.0.111
The new update made it impossible to progress. They tease you with these high value “rewards”, but the algorithm is set up so that you don’t spin for what you need until you spend a certain amount of money. The wild cards and high amounts of energy are impossible to win without spending $100 per week on the game. It’s sick and this game used to be fun, I could spend hours a day playing. UPDATE: the updates are literally making the game worse and worse. The point of the whole game is to get you to spend real life money on in game currency. It’s not even fun anymore, if you wanna gamble just go to the casino. That’s all this is, a slot machine.
- A.Leonna · v1.0.111
No earned spins. No videos to earn spins. I want the old version back!
- tkey1 · v1.0.110
Been playin everyday for over a year now, game was incredible until this last update.. if they ever switch it back I would come back and change it to 5 stars but with this new update I may be deleting the app
- TOstud14 · v1.0.110
Not a bad game but it’s literally idle tycoon coaster from codigames and monopoly go put together lol overall a decent game but a lot of “similarities” if you catch my drift.
- Wonka978 · v1.0.110
I’ve played the game for awhile now. And the most recent update has been a massive fun sucker. Now to participate in team events it’s a random chance on the wheel instead of due to attacks or raids which are more frequent, so you can be stuck not being able to participate because you won’t reach the unreasonable threshold set. They have also gotten rid of the 3 goals option when upgrading your park and only give you 1 goal to see which really throttles your ability to level up. it’s a real dollar grab to force many micro transactions to progress at all instead of a fun game that you can buy resources to make it more fun or to get additional rewards because you won’t get any rewards now without buying a ton.
- Ndkfbdkdndkckd · v1.0.110
The game was great before the update after the last big update it doesn’t make any sense you started getting less of everything and it feels like a losing Chance
- Mandatash · v1.0.110
I updated this week and now can only spin once before the app freezes. I have over 2000 batteries but there is no spin increment button any more so I am stuck at 5. The card button says coming soon. I have restarted my phone several times. Hoping for another update soon to push through whatever is stuck.
- going to michaels · v1.0.110
I honestly love this game, I played it really consistently for a few months straight a few years ago and I have just started getting back into it again but sometimes it can be mentally overwhelming with so many extra side games and mini games and I think it is also overwhelming my iPad and causing the app to crash/force close on my device. I have checked to make sure I have the latest update and I do so I don’t know what else I could do to make it better, it is forced closed every 1-5 min that I am playing the game and then I have to open it back up and go through the same loading screen and annoying 5-10 pop up windows with every opening of the app and then just rinse and repeating a few times until I get frustrated enough to just give up and play a different game. I really hope this resolves and/or there is way for this to be fixed because I would love to get back into playing this game again.
- Evelyn Purdin · v1.0.110
I don’t know what’s more obnoxious about this game. It could be either the 10+ pop-ups that happened once you open the game or maybe it’s the fact that even with spending your hard earned money, you still can’t seem to complete any side missions or you get matched up with thoughts that aren’t going to allow you to achieve the top prize.
- Kimbadblu · v1.0.110
I was 1st place twice and supposed to get one 3000 spins and only got 600 also it takes 1000s of spins and I don’t get anything.
- WandaLav · v1.0.110
It is nothing like the ads you’ve seen. Another pay to win game that quickly makes it difficult for you if you’re unwilling to spend money. Wish people would rate things like this honestly…
- Sam de San Diego · v1.0.110
SECOND UPDATE: it’s 2 days later and they’ve fixed some things. You can now change the bet amount for spins, cards are back and card progress has been restored so far. I will add 2 more stars for now, I will update as the days go by. UPDATE: ITS THE BEXT DAY AND ITS STILL ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. Y’all have just ruined this game that I played daily, constantly, for the last 7 months. I don’t know what this new update is, but no. Absolutely not. Can’t change the bet amounts for spins so you’re spinning 1 at a time, cards are missing, its not accurately keeping track of progress, can’t participate in group games, half of it isn’t even ready even though people are already significantly in progress of what’s missing… this is a hot mess. They say they want to keep the integrity of the game when it comes to denying a refund, but can do this and it’s fine? Make it make sense.
- Alananananananananana · v1.0.110
Used to be fun but after recent changes, seemingly based for a money grab, it's become impossible to play. It's not fun anymore. Developers don't listen to endless feedback on this issue. Look elsewhere.
- Gpujic12345 · v1.0.110
I have loved playing this game for over a year. But the last month or so has been horrible. The updates have really tanked the game. It’s more confusing now, and it seems more rigged. I’m very close to just deleting the game and finding something else worth playing. I would hate to give up on all my progress, but it’s just not feeling worth it anymore. I wish the game could go back a few updates, then it would be worth playing still. Very disappointed with how it’s turning out.
- gayyyyy123 · v1.0.110
Have played the game forever but this recent update it says cards are coming soon and I’m just confused
- Andre.H06 · v1.0.110
I have really enjoyed playing this game recently. However, I updated the app today and ever since I did, the game has glitched so bad every time I open the app, that I can’t even play it. Please fix the bugs, or I can already see myself not playing anymore because of it. The bugs make the game unplayable.
- Blondie4366 · v1.0.110
The game is rigged to NOT win! The Eye of Hourus has not shown up on my wheel in more than 100 spins! The side quest are impossible to win! The Clown Fright quests earning screws only ever goes to 10 players left to split the pot! Never lower. Always! It was fun but it’s clear that it’s just a money grab and never meant for you to win and play.
- The real ciaci · v1.0.110
I’ve enjoyed this game for over a year and really like the core gameplay. However, recent updates over the past couple of months have made progression feel much less rewarding. It now feels like spins have little real value unless you’re constantly making purchases. Even large amounts of spins don’t translate into meaningful coin gains or progress in quests and events, and group gameplay incentives feel reduced. At times, it feels like I’m just spinning for the sake of spinning rather than actually advancing. As another player noted, you can spend $30–$40 for thousands of spins and burn through them quickly without much benefit. That’s been my experience as well, and it’s made the game feel less worth the time. Because of this, I’ve already cut back my playtime significantly and now mostly just log in once or twice a day. I hope future updates rebalance rewards so gameplay feels more rewarding and less dependent on purchases.
- Fe628 · v1.0.110
I like this game and it kind of repeatable, quick dopamine fix – but lately every time I open it and go to play the slot game it freezes after one spin. Which is annoying if it keeps doing it, I’ll probably get rid of it which is a shame because it has potential.
- KikkiNikki79 · v1.0.110
I log on and play everyday, sometimes multiple times a day depending. It’s definitely a fun and addicting game
- Bbykira97 · v1.0.110
game is fun but thr app freezes a lot. i paid $8 for a wheel and never got my turn. i would like my money back please ive emailed yall multiple times and got no response
- whoisatl · v1.0.110
I like that there is 0 ads and I can play like I want to
- thhvfcfdd · v1.0.110
I really love this game! However, I feel like since the newest update, you can barely participate in the team games. I can go through a thousand spins and not get anything for the weekly games. It’s very frustrating! I really hope that gets better so I can enjoy this game.
- Youdontneedtoknowmynamelol · v1.0.110
Spinning the slots alone is a joke. Once you get close to filling up the bar after hitting symbols to get more rewards, your spins after that are close to nothing. I had used over 200 spins and still have not hit the symbols for reward. Please don’t bother responding either Carnival Tycoon, a sorry wont do anything for your game being a scam.
- Bmr8994 · v1.0.110
The algorithm is ai built to maximize the game profits and you to not have a chance.
- Ohiopherks · v1.0.110
It’s so fun , wish I could play it all day
- Kittyyyy25 · v1.0.110
I really enjoy the game but it constantly keeps crashing. You really need to get out the bugs and the glitches.
- Greedy ad game · v1.0.110
it’s a cute game that i wanted to play more of, but unfortunately the constant giant arrow bouncing and pointing at my next objective is WAY too annoying to even focus on playing. i know what my next objective/goal is, but i need money to make it happen and, obviously, the game is set up to make it take you forever to earn the coins needed to complete the tasks. so what you’re stuck with is a giant arrow constantly telling you to “do this” despite having no ability to do so. super annoying and unnecessary. if there’s a way to turn this off i’d love to know and continue playing. if not, then i’m happy to have uninstalled it.
- kristnwithane · v1.0.110
I really playing this game since is always force closing every time I play it. So eventually I will deleting this game
- Mimi__1221 · v1.0.110
I can guess what will pop up before it happens. This is NOT just a chance game. It’s a steal your money game
- Matthanaen81 · v1.0.109
I think it’s so dumb we’re not allowed to buy packs on its own. It’s so hard to finish season events because when we do get packs it’s always the same cards
- A$AP.A · v1.0.109
Great game I play everyday and it’s very addicting
- KCDINEROO · v1.0.109
I have enjoyed playing carnival tycoon. Joining a team and having it active where players help one another with cards, has been a blast. I love all the different side competitions. Fun game, and a great way to unwind!
- Loo1207 · v1.0.109
ارقى لعبة ممُتاز♥️
- روعهادن · v1.0.109
The game is a great game but those popups that comes when you run out of energy is BEYOND ridiculous...other than that it would of been a 5 star.
- Em'93 · v1.0.109
It was Apple Pay doing the weird things with the payment. 👍
- #misheru · v1.0.109
Been playing for over a year, it’s pointless now. I am a spender and it’s not worth the gameplay. Today spent 30 dollars in increments and gained maybe 5 minutes of gameplay. I don’t mind spending on games if it’s worth it. This is 100% not worth it. I will gladly take my money somewhere else. Animals and kingdoms has the same concept and monopoly go. Both are more bang for your buck
- Pay for no play · v1.0.109
It’s not fair that i spend more than 20 k batteries to get 1 K !!!!!!!! And some time hang and I didn’t get anything if you didn’t make it clear and fair we will delete the game !!!!
- mohamad` · v1.0.109
I've been a loyal player, playing everyday for over a year till the last update. Now all the partner events and side games are impossible to achieve which sucks the fun right out of this game. Really hoping they go back to the way it used to be, if not I will be deleting and no longer playing the game. I lost have my team of dedicated players to the new update :-(
- Kimmykat84 · v1.0.109
Previous version before update was much better the new updates aren’t as good as old version
- Cannotref · v1.0.109
They changed to a new system and it is terrible. I used to be a daily player but not anymore. Bring back the “old” version!
- Southpaw55555 · v1.0.109
Okay loved the game at first but then everything became a scam. Theres no way to keep the pet without paying money for event stuff, you can very rarely get shields and event stuff is minimal. I really want to love this game but there’s no way to do anything without paying money. And the new update made everything look cooler with bigger, more exciting prizes, but in reality it’s even more of a scam. There’s even less chance of getting any prizes. I wish I’d never downloaded. Just disappointing.
- ⭐️𝖢𝗈ɕ𝗈⭐️ · v1.0.108
All they want is money!
- Shayshay0721 · v1.0.108
I used to play a lot but the latest update is really bad. You can't make any progress if you're free to play or if you pay to play. The targets for the events are totally unachievable. Please fix it.
- Pestie · v1.0.108
Enjoying it so far and it gives you enough to continue on.
- AlexBigA32 · v1.0.108
It's always been easy to tell that the spin wheels are all rigged.. they'll spin extra long one time so you don't land on a big prize. The puzzle pieces come easy but then once you're about to win the grand prize, suddenly you can spin 20 times in a row without landing on a puzzle piece. All the side games have become increasingly unfair and the rewards for spins are less and less all the time. The last time I opened the app and started the flower game with a partner, the first tier of rewards was a disrespectful 40 spins instead of the usual 100. They won't stop ramping up their pay-to-win BS. I'm done. They hit a sweet spot a while ago where I was making purchases here and there for a boost, but now that everything is so unfair, rigged, low-reward and expensive, I'm done
- Any lauryl · v1.0.108
They updated the game and made it impossible to get any spins. They completely lowered how many you get from completing anything. That doesn't even matter because it's impossible to complete anything. Game was fun at one point but now they just want you to spend money for spin, but even that doesn't guarantee you'll get anything. The closer you get to completing an event, the less likely they'll give you anything when spinning. Complete disaster
- jurdeennnn · v1.0.108
Would give zero stars if possible! This game is all about profits for the developers. When you rightfully earn the rewards they do not give them to you and when you message customer support they give boilerplate responses and “send” your issue to “another department/team” and close out your chat without any solution. Hundreds of players are deleting the app every day! Go look check the facebook groups for more insight before downloading!
- Kool-Aid4 · v1.0.108
This game used to be fun. It was my favorite way to pass the time and they recently updated the game and now it is virtually impossible to get anywhere even if you spend money.
- Me!i$ · v1.0.108
This game used to be awesome - i was addicted. The developers have gotten greedy and only care about pay to play and nothing for the player anymore. I will be deleting and I’ve spent loads of money on this game but no more. So sad to see it turn into what it is …. I truly hope they turn it back but until then I’m out
- Bamablondiee · v1.0.108
The new version is absolutely terrible! Most of us loyal players are leaving the game. Please bring back to previous version!
