Governor of Poker 2 - Offline Wiki

UPDATED : developers responded promptly to my concerns and made things right. For that, I’ve change my rating to 5 stars. — There are lots of IAPs in this game. But the only place that you will learn that you have to buy a specific IAP to play past the first city is at the BOTTOM of the App Store description. Nothing inside the game warns you. In fact, the IAP you need to buy says “to unlock ALL the cities”. I didn’t need to unlock all the cities. I won a tournament, was given a horse, told I could go to the next city, which is basically saying “you’ve unlocked the next city”. Turns out I COULDN’T unless I purchased the specific IAP. (Why am I particularly upset? Because I actually purchased the first time-limited special IAP that was offered to me, which was just more chips. It wasn’t to unlock the game, which I would have done!)

It takes a lot to get me excited but I can’t wait to get off work and play this one. I’ve only been playing it for a few days and have not gotten it down pat yet, but that’s okay. This game is easy to figure out even if your not a avid gamer or card player. It’s simple, it’s fun and it helps you build your card playing skills. Most places you would have to pay for that. So I say GOOD JOB, keep it up. Sincerely, Charles Blalock

I like the AI. It seems like there are several different playing styles programmed into the different characters. Fun and quick poker games. The game outside of the poker game is a good concept- buying towns, traveling, and eventually becoming the governor of Texas. If you buy a new hat it only stays on you until you quit playing. When you start the game again you’re back in your default hat until you go to the hat store again to change it. Very annoying to me. I wish there was an option to change my character’s voice. I also wish that when you win a horse, carriage, or car that you could actually see it. Spoiler alert!!! When you win the whole game by owning all the towns and defeating the governor nothing much happens. Huge disappointment. A little blurb pops up saying “congratulations you’ve defeated the governor”. You don’t even get a newspaper flash like you do when you win a town. A little more celebration or story line sure would be nice after so many hours of play. If part of your motivation to win poker games is to see what happens next in the game you will be sorely let down at the end.

I hardly ever give reviews for apps in the App Store but I’m so disappointed I wanted to give a warning. I’m a firm believer in paying for applications you enjoy playing. So after a few days, I paid for this application. It was only after that I realized at some point you will need to continue paying in order to progress in this game. I’m okay for paying once but I’ll delete this app when I get to the point that I have to pay more money to continue playing. As you progress from city to city the entry fees get more expensive and there are more players in each game. In some games you can get third place and still loose your entire entry fee. If you follow that logically you will end up with 0 in the player account and will be forced to pay real money to continue to play this game. I’m a pay once kind of player. I want all of the features of the game after I pay for it in the App Store. I don’t want to have to pay again and again.

There are some fun things to this game. I like the RPG elements to go along with the poker. But unfortunately the AI makes the game near unplayable. Nobody ever folds pre-flop. You can raise a quarter of the starting chip stack on the first hand and every hand after, and you will almost always be playing five or six handed on the flop. Consequently it turns into chutes and ladders because the AI players don’t lose anything when they bust out, but you do. They can play super recklessly, and you never have any idea what they might have because they will call half their stack pre-flop with a J/6 offsuit. The prize money is also not fair. You pay 3K to buy in to a 24 player tourney that pays out top three, and you get like 8k if you win. So you either buy chips with real money or grind the “cash” games that are more predictable but don’t let you win much each day. Disappointing.

So I know that a full house beats a three of a kind by far but it’s the simple fact that had I been the one with the full house I wouldn’t have gotten the full pot and won. It seems every time I’m sure to work the game magically helps the AI win and I can tell that it does. It seems to me that the AI knows what you have weather they something good or not which an AI can b they are apart of the same program but it also seems that player AI and the Dealer AI use a co strategy to make you loose and this in real poker is unreal. I can understand the need to make money for a free app but to do so unfairly isn’t the way to go and it’s really low. So unless you want to watch yourself loose money pointlessly don’t get this game and that’s the truth. 💯💯💯

I’m well aware that gambling, online or at a casino, is designed to drain your wallet. Poker is one of the very few games where you have a good chance at winning. I’ve barely EVER had a good chance winning in this app. I paid the price for the full app. I bought houses and traveled. Did the things you would expect to do and win a role playing game. Bought houses and a whole town. Bought a fancy hat that wouldn’t stay on for whatever reason. Never got any returns on the whole entire town I bought and had to keep going back to the hat store to put on my hat. I didn’t have to rebuy the hat, but it should stay on, right? The biggest issue is there are some serious bugs with the poker hands. I have clearly had a better hand than the opponents and still lost. Also, the dialogue from the opponents is beyond annoying. “Give me the chips! C’mon!” It made me want to destroy my device. This game is all levels of wrong and rigged. I’m out. Deleted. Glad I only paid a few bucks to access the full game and see how terrible it was before dumping more money on chips. Stick to WSOP, or whatever.

This game is very frustrating! I see many times hands that are losing hands win over hands that should take the entire pot. For example, I had a flush and my opponent had a pair of jacks, the pot was something like 6000. I clearly won the hand yet the pot is split and I end up with 2000 and my opponent gets 4000 even though they lost! This is ridiculous and is not actual poker. Play by the rules and stop the unfairness just so people have to pay money for more chips or the better version of the game. It’s a game. It’s supposed to be fun. Your supposed to win. When you take that away by making it unfair to make money off of your users shows that you just are in it for the money. Fix these problems and make this game fair and user friendly. This game could be fantastic if this are drastically changed for the user experience.

I routinely see pairs beating three of a kind and other similar unforgivable errors. This has happened in my favor also, but still. The ads are also ridiculous and half of them cover almost the entire screen. The rest cover up the controls but disappear when you try to select the reason for not wanting to see the ad so that you often hit a control that you did not want to. For example, when trying to select “ad covered content” as the reason for trying to turn a particular ad off, when you try to select it the ad will go away and you might hit “fold” or “all in”. Just a poorly thought out experience that puts the player last and makes the experience miserable with hopes of driving the player to the paid version.

I love to play poker and i am a big fan... I play several online poker games including for cash no limit... But i have to say this game is a disgrace for the game of poker... when you start off the game you have fair luck and playing tight aggressive wins you pretty much all up until Fort Stockton... were you start going threw 25 & 30 straight flops without a single pair or hope of pocket pair!!!! & when you do actually finally get a pair almost everyone folds... and if you buy chips all of a sudden luck changes SMH 🤦🏻‍♂️FOH Lol absolutely garbage this game is simply Spam!!! Only if apple had some kind of scam proof system or something & this apps wouldn't slip in & be able to spam loyal users this is the new modern way of theft!!! game should be illegal!!!

I’ve played many poker games with the understanding that there’s a risk when playing. Yet this game is filled with bugs and clearly rigged to make you lose. I’ve played enough to see the signs that I have a winning hand, only to be outdone. For example. I’ll have a straight to Jack and someone has a straight to queen. The problem is it happens ALOT! Just when I truly set it up to have a win I lose. This game is meant to take your money and no matter how you try to “play” the game the odds are completely against you. Sadly,I paid for the game and oh the open map it claims you get, is not open at all. It’s just a way to make you think you get something when all you get is ripped off. Don’t waste your money.

I was liking the game despite the total lack of any instruction on how to move from place to place and what buying houses does (you would think you get money from rent but not so). Then, I was low on chips so I was following the prompt to watch a video for 80 chips and guess what? No chips were added. I watched several more and still nothing so I contacted customer service. Andy was right on top of it responding several days later with “Did you watch it until the end?” Well, yeah. Several more days go by before he responded again with “Sometimes there’s a limit on how many chips you can get per day by watching a video.” Really? Then why is it available? Are you going to do ANYTHING? Nope. Delete.

I’ve played this game on the pc, much better and no real money needed. The problem with this type of game is that it is in their best interest that you lose, so that you may pay real money for chips. First town is ok, to get you hooked. Then you pay for the game which is reasonable. After that the gameplay is fraudulent and fixed. You will lose winning hands. You will lose to astronomical odds, and often. In order to really keep playing you will need t spend real money to buy chips. Once you realize that they want you to lose and they are totally in control of that, you know that it is rigged. Stick with real player poker games and pass on this one.

Lost all my starting money after ten rounds of poker. I consider myself a pretty good player but pc players are rigged to drain you money to the point where you have no choice by to spend real money to keep going. It is like a demo. Once you run out of your starting money your screwed. The pc players hands are rigged. Always seem to have a hand better then mine. One pc player had like five hands of straights every time which is totally unfair and impossible odds. Then when I get a straight, I am beaten with a royal flush. Also the ads always interrupt your gameplay and pop up and you can’t see what is happening until ad is over. Don’t bother downloading.
