There are plenty of gambling games on iOS and Android that promise big payouts, and most of them - if not all of them - have a tiny catch that makes it nearly impossible to win. Whether you need a certain amount of money to cash out, or are required to win a certain number of prizes before getting your products shipped, there is always a catch that makes these experiences feel less than legitimate.

Nostalgic Gaming – Kingdom of Alamur Re-Reckoning

Because of a few code delivery issues, we didn't the chance to start playing the game until after reviews for the re-release had already dropped.
