Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Fun game over all but blackjack is rigged for them so you buy more chips. Dont plan on winning more than 10% of double downs.
We know the devs cant help this but we cant find one table that doesnt have somebody who will bet all their money before the first 3 cards are turned over. It just ruins the fun.
We didnt like poker games until we tried this one. Its awesome.
Fun poker app. Most of the bad ratings are from bad players. We go between 10mil and 30mil in chips. You dont have to pay anything and can have fun.
Fun, enjoyable game, and you dont have to spend money to play and win.
When youre playing blackjack and the dealer gets 21 never bet wait at least 1 turn most of the time 2 because you are guaranteed to lose the random number generator is a joke the game will favor the losing player by never giving your good hand a chance despite having the perfect card ever so you will lose all your money and tune you into a straight crash out pushing you into their money grab scheme constantly making you want to buy more chips by taking your coins every game when you first start playing at the beginning of the day whatever game you play you will win the first 3-5 games betting small bc youre scared to get your pockets ran so bet big after that youll never win another game and never start betting big after you win 2 games in a row Ive been studying the games algorithm and its rigged big time if youre losing back to back just get off the game and come back tomorrow bc youre guaranteed to lose all your money and probably buy some overpriced scratchers or club membership play the game like Im telling you and then come back tell us we were so right and the game is rigged you get punished if you dont buy stuff bc youll never get ahead if you dont we swear it puts bots on table and favors their hand so you bet big then at the last 2 cards they get a dang full house or straight Ive played 3 years nows in our spiraling cycle of crashoutness and Ive gotten 1 royal flush and whole lot of hard too buddy.
Great app to play with friends. Our friends and we recently got into poker and one of them discovered this app. This game has been mostly fun, with some frustrating gambling moments. One bug which we have contacted support about which has occurred to us at least 5 times. When entering a tournament, there will be times where the room isnt filled up. You need 5 players. We would leave the tournament before it starts. If someone is joining and you leave at this exact moment, your chips are taken and you are placed as 5th in that tournament. At least thats what we thought. We stopped leaving any tournament even if it hasnt started. The pass 3 times ish it kicked us out when the tournament started and Im placed as 5th. We have contacted support and it is in fact not a connection problem which support defaulted to. Other than that, there is in fact times where one player is the favorite. There has been times where we will constantly go in with the worst hands and continuously win, and there are times where we go in with pairs (even with pair As) and lose continuously.
El juego es muy bueno pero le falta un poco de mejores grficos ya que en s la versin de PC es mejor. Lo supera en grficos y y eso que es ms sencillo.
This is definitely the best poker game on the app store. Its also very rigged at times but that can be said about every gambling based game. We would just stay away from black jack.
Dealer hits 20 with sus regularity.
This is the 3rd Governor Of Texas app we've had & while it seems to be the slickest, it won't stay connected. Very frustrating.
We know blackjack isnt the main game on GOP3, but our only complaints are with the blackjack. There are only 2 things we hope to get improved. 1. Please tell us how many cards are left in the shoe, and when we hit the cut card. 2. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE show us the dealers cards after we bust. Its rather frustrating taking a loss and then not being able to see the dealers 2nd card Other than that this game is absolutely perfect. We sit in our car after work and play this for roughly 30-45 mins everyday.
We have played this game for well over a year, and have spent quite a bit of money. Recently our game crashed whilst playing and mysteriously lost almost all of our chips, we have contacted support multiple times and was told an agent would be with us shortly. It has been over a week and we have received no updates or in game compensation.
You get a bunch a of money and do not yous the slot machine.
We really enjoy this hand but the amount of times Ive had the winning hand and lost is absurd. And this isnt just oh why do we keep losing. Ive had several occurrences where we have won the hand but not had the highest hand. Im not sure whats happening or why but it really stinks having millions of chips taken when youve got the winning hand. Hope this addressed soon.
The game is everlasting fun we love the way they give you a free chance to keep your coins up. You dont go broke. You always have a chance to win coins to be able to keep playing and continue beating levels. Awesome game.
Ive just been scammed of 5 Million chips trying to enter the 5 million cash game and then got disconnected and then reconnected missing 5 million. Fix this.
We enjoyed playing this game but we have noticed tricks that GOP has use to make players have to buy chips but regardless its a player choice to spend money on this game because it is entertaining and fun.
Easy to play. You can play and win as a free to play player. Easy to reload on chips if you want.
Needs to be working it was part of the game when we started. Bring back the 25m Royal game with 8 seats.
The game is great. Love it. Having a blast. But the coupon code for 2 Sapphire Tickets and 2 El Dorado Balloon entry keys is a scam. We have filled it out 2 times and not received the benefits either time. Its just some stupid survey website and after we click Done we never get anything for it. Dont ever take those surveys. Theyre a joke. Theyre an excuse to track you. The rest of the game is great.
We play sit n go. There is no incentive to win 2nd instead you only get the buy in coins returned. They offer free slots every couple of hours. You rarely get a payout over $1000. But then you are asked to spin again for a cost of 5,000 coins. These 2 things are irritating to say the least. We gave it a 4 because we play the game almost daily so we do enjoy it but we are frustrated by the above.
If under level 20 and you click team in the bottom menu there is no way to go back. Must close the app.
Good graphics but the latest version seems to be glitching where you dont get to see the last cards drawn just the results. 2nd the game is set up to make money so unless your spending dont expect to get too far.
This is a nice game but it freezes a lot in the middle of the game.
Unfortunately, this game has the same problem that most free on-line poker games have. There is often one person at the table who goes all-in on every hand. Thats neither fun nor realistic. It ruins the game for us. Perhaps a pot-limit version could be offered.
This is easily one of the best casino games out there when it comes to user interface and design. Although it is unfortunately very rigged. The poker is a game against other players so it is not as rigged but will sometimes have cards appear on the river which ultimately decide who winds which can lead to people thinking its rigged because the chances are very low. The BlackJack on the other hand is blatantly rigged with the dealer always having a 10 and another 10 behind that one. We tested to see if the blackjack was really rigged or if we were just unlucky. Heres what we found. We played 25 hands. We won 6 of those hands. The dealer had 20 for 8 of those hands and 21 for 2 and won by having a higher card than us on the rest of the hands. Take what u want from that but we think the blackjack is very rigged and its unfair to promote their RNG when it is all fake.
The poker and all of the events are great only downside is the blackjack feels like an absolute scam sometimes. Relentless 6 card 21s from the dealer doesnt make it feel very RNG.
Please get rid of the auto bet in BlackJack!!!! Or at least make it a setting a player can permanently turn off.
After going to another table another 4 ads.we lose for 24 hours only winning a few time. We only win games 22% of the time.Ive lost to a bigger full house on numerous occasions with only 3 or 4 other players .black jack is the worst win percentage.other bad things happen too.
Consider having Blackjack play options come up right away, so you dont have to wait until your turn to select. Would make it go faster for everyone.
Game is great but the server lag causes you to fold without a chance to even play. Multiple times Ive lost a great hand and half our stack because server lag. It gets old after a while.
Governor of poker is pro a lot of fun, probably the most fun app that they have for poker. But ther player base is awful, and they are not as generous as other apps with the poker chips. It also feels like the Random Number Generator certified works against their advantage because most hands played feel not like real poker. It feels very very random.
This game is fun until you reach High level and work hard to win challenges then the game turns and makes you spend money to complete challenges.
Best poker/gambling game period! They use Rng algorithms to make the hands fair, unlike other apps that basically pick and choose their winners. Like PokerHeat. This game really is the best one youll find until GOP 4 comes out.
Theyve change the rules and made it harder to complete your daily missions. In order to have more success, you have to make more purchases online. They have gotten greedy in our opinion.
Hundreds of hours into this game. VIP status. More than 120M chips & joined a great team! Then, our account just vanishes. No Customer Supportjust a message that it is down. Went in on a friends device with a new avatar to start over. Had to get to Level 20 to even contact our team members and convince them who l am. None of us can figure out how to get our account back and there are only 40 players on a team. They cant keep the old us inactive much longer. So, watch out! (Purchases wont save you either.) Everything you put into this game can disappear in a second and you are locked out at level 1 with no chips and no team.
This is a very compelling game that we have played with our teenagers. Its fast paced, moves the game along, well, and has the usual coins, jams, other add-ons, skins, etc. However, they seem to have a disproportionately high number of hands that if you fold, that turn out to have been winners. They seem to be statistically unlikely, and appear to be designed to get you to get back in the game and fat more. There also are a disproportionately and statistically unrealistic number of very good hands. It appears that the game calculates the cards dealt, and devise is the best five card flop that would maximize everyones possible opportunities. Nevertheless, its fun and enjoyable.
We personally enjoy playing GOP3 . We have been for a few years but suddenly it's not letting us access due to our region. However we haven't moved since we started playing. We're in Lebanon.
We have been unable to confirm our account to join groups but we can still make purchases please send us a new link we asked on customer support with no response.
So we wrote a review in the last month and it is not on here. There has been some issue with the developers of this game. Customer support is now unresponsive and in the game the customer chat is locked. It is in a circle stating was this helpful, you answer all the questions and it will not start a new chat. We enjoy the game but a month ago the system logged us and evidently a lot of people out causing people to lose position. When you tried to get help got a notice they were restructuring and would help in a few days. This seems to be cheaply run.
There is a glitch in the app where you may receive the wrong item for a purchase. However, the app automatically recognizes that the wrong item was granted and removes the item before you can claim it. Thatd be fine if you werent still charged real money for the item. Then, you have to get the run around through chat until you give up and accept that they will not refund your money or grant you a item equivalent to your intended purchase.
We have been playing this game for a while. It has been ok, but recently they changed a daily reward format. It now almost requires you to purchase items weekly to complete them. They must have changed something in their algorithm for cards also. Ourselves and friends we have been playing with are all complaining how hard it has become at the higher levels to just get a decent hand in the recent weeks. If you finally grind up through the lower poker tables and save your chips to start playing on higher tables you get beat by ridiculous hands that show up constantly on these tables. Like flushes losing to full houses much too often. The blackjack tables are even more unbelievable. Constantly losing when holding 20 to dealer 3 hitting to get 21. It happens a lot. Read the other comments. The developer says they use a random card generator, but that is not true. We dont care what they say. Too many users all say the same thing. That being said, this game is good to take a little time to play for fun and realize it will take your chips from you. Prices are way too high for what you will receive to play with. Too bad they have changed something cause we have already noticed some friends/players have quit with more on the way including ourselves.
It is impossible to now meet the daily activities. This is one of the better poker games out there but the developers focus on profit has now ruined this game. We hope the developers read the comments they will be getting. We have met 21 of the 34 daily activity events and we have only 80 out of the 100 points to fulfill the challenge. In the past we would have met that goal. As a team leader and a player of over 7 years. This is the worse unfriendly customer update to date. Just our team alone about half of everyone is frustrated and angry. You will be losing good players and players that may be spending money on your app. This needs to be fixed. This is totally unfair and hit people with NO notification that you would be making these changes. Please fix.
Bots scamming by clicking ads. 99% of accounts are fake. They probably want it that way.
This game is easily one of the best poker games and run smoothly.
But we see a lot of neg feedback, so Ill throw our honest 2 cents in. Im addicted to poker. Ive downloaded and played close to every poker app there is, from zynga, wsop, heat, monopoly, hd poker, Octopoker, scatter, and those the ones that just come to mind (many more). So we feel our opinion should be weighted some. Every game. Literally every game Ive bought chips. And they all seem to have ridiculous bad beats. We have over 100,000 hands played throughout all these apps combined and we must say, give or poker seems the most legit. Now Ive only been playing it a few days, but we got over 500 hands played and havent paid one dollar for chips. EVERY poker app has their ALL IN BONEHEADS, however in this game there are so many ppl that play, you can just leave the room and come right back and find yourself at a totally diff table w all diff players. Rarely do we see flushes, rarely do we see full houses. Most hands are won with a simple pair or 2 pair. And thats what we love about it. Its as close to REAL as Ive found. So until we feel differently, we will keep this review up and active. If we feel we were mistaken and dont believe this review to be true anymore Ill remove it / update it. If you are a good poker player, not a fish, you should be able to work your way up the ladder. We started with 20-30,000 chips and we are up to a million in earnings from hands played (3m total cuz we won 2m in a wheel spin) keep in mind we downloaded this under 2 days ago. Our name is VegasLoser hope this review helps.
Hola hoy tuve un problema al regla ms mis recompensas semanales del cofre de 600 lo rglame pero no us dieron las recompensas escrib al soporte del juego y envi las pruebas y no us han respondido.
We use to play this game a few years ago and it was a lot more fun. We guess its gone. This number 3 isnt the same.
They let you win your first few levels and then they bankrupt you so you can either play one decent hand of poker or pay real money for the chips. Blackjack was fun until we were off what Ill call our probation period. After that the dealer started getting 20/21s every other hand. Just dont get too invested and especially not financially invested.
