Governor of Poker 3

Gambling is the type of hobby that can quickly get out of hand if you are not careful, especially if you do it with real money. Granted, it is much easier now to get caught up in it, what with all the online casino games that allow you to deposit real money with just a few clicks. Thankfully, there are free alternatives as well, you just need to resist the urge and be content with virtual chips instead.

Governor of Poker 3 is a casual poker simulator that allows you to enjoy the popular game of cards with thousands of other people from all over the world. It doesn’t include a real money option, but you can use hard currency to perform micro-transactions and purchase in-game chips when you run out. You can also play a few other mini-games while you’re at it.

There’s even a theme to the whole thing, since the action takes place across Texas in all sorts of cowboy saloons and shady bars. Speaking of which, each one of these saloons is unlocked once you reach a certain level, and they provide you with a few advantages. Hence, better locations have a higher buy-in amount, and the openings are much heftier as well.

As mentioned before, you can enjoy a few other games as well, such as blackjack. No matter which one you choose, on the other hand, it still costs you chips to play, and they are pretty tough to win back. While you do need a bit of luck on your side as well, it also takes skill and patience to play poker, otherwise you might find yourself out of cash in a matter of minutes.

Since the game is mostly designed with a casual audience in mind, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that it’s pretty basic from a technical point of view as well. Hence, the graphics are simple and colorful, which includes the animations and the general level design. The same goes for the chat function, since you can only use emojis or a few predefined phrases to express yourself.

In the end, Governor of Poker 3 is obviously not a valid alternative for serious players who want to make money, but it’s quite fun for those looking for a bit of entertainment with no strings attached. However, you might stumble into the microtransaction wall every now and again, especially if you hurry and lose your money too quickly.
