### 4/5 — Needs a little update

*2024-03-31*

Thanks guys for all the hard work🙏🏻 the game is Awesome but it needs a little update,sometimes it freezes so i have to quit the game or leave the table,and the 3X speed is glitchy and buggy and make the game freeze faster. Please solve this little issue as soon as you can,thanks again

### 4/5 — I like the game

*2021-08-01, version 2.3.4*

Even though I don’t know a lot about poker this games gives me an chance to get familiar with the rules for playing.

### 4/5 — Enjoy but a little glitchy

*2021-05-27, version 2.3.4*

I enjoy the game, experience amd overall theory of the game.  It’s cute.  You go from town to town playing poker to win chips and buy up towns.  But I’ve had to go back and look at hands knowing full well that the pot wasn’t split correctly or that I won but somehow didn’t get my chips.  I actually think it’s a glitch and not a cheat issue as others have suggested.  Needs a little work but it’s still a cute game.

### 4/5 — Good game

*2020-11-13, version 2.3.4*

It’s a good game and still the same but for some reason it never recognizes when I get a straight. Still a good game

### 3/5 — Fun but table graphics are tough

*2019-09-22, version 2.3.4*

Fun game, but after playing your World of Poker the table graphics here are hard to use. Very small, and the winner is shown and removed so quickly you can’t keep up. Update this game with the World of Poker table graphics and you’ve got a 5 star game.

### 4/5 — Great game

*2019-03-03, version 2.3.4*

The only improvement would be to have another way to get chips other than to buy them or buy houses

### 4/5 — Bound to lose

*2019-02-01, version 2.3.4*

Game is great, but it’s designed to make you lose in order for one to buy coins and spend real money.

### 3/5 — too many microtransactions

*2018-09-24, version 2.3.4*

really love this game but I can't rely on internet access to keep watching ads when i run out of chips.

### 4/5 — Good. But...

*2017-08-02, version 2.3.4*

I feel like every time I fold it turns out that I would've had a full house or 4 of a kind.

### 3/5 — Great classic but...

*2017-07-19, version 2.3.4*

The game is a classic and you guys had a chance to make app history but you fell short with the in app purchases. I had no problem paying $3 for a game I truly enjoy, but you guys ruined the gameplay and practically make you either pay out of pocket or keep restarting. Please update the gameplay if you expect us to buy Governor of Poker 3 if you plan on making one.

### 4/5 — A classic!

*2017-06-28, version 2.3.4*

Just like the old game but with some innovative twists. The one game per day rule takes some fun out of it but otherwise the game is just as fun as the first.

### 4/5 — GOP2

*2017-04-13, version 2.3.4*

Overall a fun way to play offline hold 'em. The visuals are much improved over the first, but I preferred the old play. GOP2 players always raising the pot before the flop doesn't feel too realistic and forces a different strategy to win tournaments.

### 1/5 — Constant glitches

*2021-10-31, version 2.3.4*

I paid for this app and every time I am up a ton in a tournament the game glitches! 
It freezes and the cards go on an endless deal or everyone’s cards disappear and then when I go back into the app the app resets but it takes the money from the tournament when I was about to win and have to pay to enter again. 
Please update this game because I love playing but every 3 tournaments I play the game constantly freezes and it’s getting very frustrating! 
I will update my review once this is fixed

### 1/5 — Bad poker

*2020-04-21, version 2.3.4*

AI shoves with the knowledge a pair is coming. The AI almost never folds and somehow chops the pot with a pair when you have a straight. Since I started playing this game, I’ve been dealt one pocket pair. And it was threes. AI goes all in pre flop with a 7 and a 2 and hits a full house. Find a different offline poker. This one forces you to either stay stagnant and win little pots here and there or pay money to try to advance. Great idea that had tons of potential, poorly executed.

### 1/5 — Rigged

*2017-09-01, version 2.3.4*

Often times when you have a better hand than the computer the pot gets split, sometimes the computer even gets more than you.  I just played a round where I had a straight and the computer had absolutely nothing and he got 400 chips and I got 200!  That doesn't happen in real poker.  Also I just won twice against the governor but because of the way this game is set up I lost the overall match.  There were two separate times where both myself and the computer went all in and I won both times. If two people go all in one of them loses, period end of story!!!

### 1/5 — Cards/luck not random

*2017-07-07, version 2.3.4*

Other players always get better hands consistently. Regardless of you raising or trying to bluff, you're financially drained way too soon/fast. Ergo; No inclination at the earlier levels to start throwing my money at "in app purchases". Stop draining my chips and I'll be more apt to purchase them if left with choosing to buy or no I would just as soon delete the game.

### 1/5 — Will no longer open on iPhone 6

*2016-08-19, version 2.3.4*

Updated 5 star review to 1 star until crash bug is fixed. Crashes on open every time, restarted phone and reinstalled app to no effect.

Good offline poker with a western-style plot to give you something to play for.

### 1/5 — Cheat

*2016-07-16, version 2.3.4*

When your in the first town it is fun and a little challenging to decide to fold or bet, but when you open the next two towns you don't get anything better than pair of 9s King and queen different suits. The luck always falls toward the cpu players and the would be winning hands start off so bad you don't want to bet the kind of money that it gets to before the flop. Just another money grab. I did enjoy the pc version.

### 2/5 — Why the in app purchases?

*2019-02-16, version 2.3.4*

Do developers realize the point of paying for a game in to avoid micro transactions? Glad this is offline otherwise its pay to win.

### 2/5 — Too greedy

*2017-08-26, version 2.3.4*

I agree the AI is set aggressively.  I have played a lot of this game on MAC.  I have almost beaten the game, but the Mobile version would be expensive to play.   I bought the "whole game"  but I am not going to pay more to play the basic game.  I would need to keep paying.  Skip this game unless you like to pay.

### 2/5 — Too greedy and  AI cheats

*2017-07-20, version 2.3.4*

Potentially fun game for offline poker, BUT it's basically a Chinese finger trap that forces you to pay money for chips if you want to continue.

Also, it's pretty obvious that the AI makes decisions based on knowing what cards will be dealt ahead of time. AI players won't fold when they should because they know a pair is coming.

Still it's decent fun. And if they weren't trying to trap me into paying more, I may have actually bought some chips. As is, I'll probably just play something else.

### 2/5 — I should be able to make $ off property

*2017-04-26, version 2.3.4*

So the games a little different than the original. 

In the first hand I could buy all the properties and make money. If I lost a hand it was no big deal. I could earn the money in the next couple of days and be able to play a new game. 

Now they make you play a hand every day. They are designing the game to make you continuously buy chips with actual money. 

If I paid $3.00 for a full version I shouldn't be haggled to spend more money. 

I'll continue playing for a little while but I might just delete the app.

### 5/5 — Love it but..........

*2017-03-27, version 2.3.4*

I love the game but I wish there was another way to get chips so I don't have to wait for rent to come in or watch commercials

### 5/5 — Poker

*2017-03-04, version 2.3.4*

The game is fun to play, somewhat intense at times, like when you have a big pot going, a winning hand(?), and you're almost out of chips.  My only minor complaint is the winning cards layout could be just a bit slower...these old eyes aren't as quick as they could be!
