You’ve Got to Pay the Cost to be the Boss

Ever since it was first released, Governor of Poker has been receiving rave reviews by poker players. In fact, this is hailed as being one of the best poker games available fot the PC. Does Governor of Poker deserve its reputation or is it all hype? Read on to find out.

While there are lots of poker gamers for players to choose from, Governor of Poker offers players something a bit different. The game is set in the Wild West of Texas and presents players with a colourful and engaging story that really sets the scene. The cool characters and graphics help to break up the game and provide added detail and depth that can be very engaging.

However, people who simply want to get down to playing Texas Hold’em can easily ignore the animated story if they wish. Simply join the diverse cast of characters as the crowd into the saloon and play poker for the right to become the governor. The characters all come complete with their own quirks that help to add a little drama to the game and trying to work out their tells can be a lot of fun.

There are three different difficulty levels to choose from, which means that poker players of all experience levels can enjoy the game. It is also possible to pick up new skills through the hints and tips that regularly crop up.

However, it could be argued that if you had a group of friends available to play poker with in the first place you would probably be playing with cards instead of on the PC.

It is easy to see why so many people are in love with Governor of Poker. In addition to the realistic game play and other dynamics, the game comes compete with cool and colourful graphics that help to tell a story and really put players in the game. this is much more than simply playing poker online and the lack of gambling feature means that gamers can play for hours without risking their hard earned cash.
