Google Gaming for money; Real or just another Scam

I understand that people have to make money but I've seen a huge jump in the games on Google which I believe are just lies. From the scratcher games which state that there are winners everyday but yet I've played one game for over 9 months and I've been at $9.90 for at least 8 months only to be lied to and made to believe that I would be able to pay out when I reach $10... Now I've attempted to do this with about 18 games and all of them give you the thought that it will work by giving out large amounts which slowly trickle down to almost $0.01 for your bounty when it started with $0.56 for the bounty. I love google but I think they have lost sight of these scammers and they should crack down on them. I used to trust Google and believe they had dignity and wouldn't allow for trash to reside within their play store but I guess I was wrong. All of these apps are getting paid on the ads that they are pushing so they must be getting rich off everyone that thinks they will get a piece of the pie from these games. In 1 hour I've played at least 15 ads and even if it's only $0.01 per time the ad plays that's $0.15 on me alone if you multiply that by 100 people and then multiply that by 24 they are getting rich. And yet I've not seen anyone that I've told to check out these games including myself haven't been able to cash out $10 as stated by the games. What about you, have you played any of these games and have you been able to cash out? I would love to know. Thank you for reading my posts.
