Great ad-free version of the game - until they start trying to make you watch ads

I was happy to pay the $3.99 to get an ad-free version of the game, and have been enjoying playing it with friends and family. Its a great way to kill time in small increments, and its a fun game. I won some, I lost some. I was okay with the subtle offers to buy extra rolls - after your third roll, the "Roll" button would change to a "Get More", for example. But after Id been playing for a while, a new button was added - "Watch video for 1 free" (roll). And suddenly, my rolls got worse. Especially third and final rolls. If I only needed 3 2s, for example, Id get 2 2s, and the offer of an extra roll if I watch a THIRTY SECOND video advertisement. If it was just sometimes, like it used to be, Id accept it as chance - you dont win them all. But I (and others Im playing with) noticed that as soon as the "watch video" button started appearing, my "chances" dropped significantly. And I find that appalling. I feel like Ive been ripped off after paying for ad-free. I feel like Scopely is trying to blackmail me into watching excessively long advertisements - which Ive refused to do. The ads are longer than a turn of the game, for goodness sake. This is disgraceful, in my opinion. So theres my review - the game is enjoyable up until the point they start trying to hustle you into watching ads.
