game in the 15^th century. It also had bets, ranking and other features that a modern poker game has. Other considers poker to be a Persian game As Nas.

It’s nice to see that card games are popular among casual games players. Along with hidden objects, matching and strategy games this poker card game has many fans. When you start the game you can choose not only your name but also a gender and the hat you will be wearing during the whole game. Why hat? Because you will see the whole game from the top of the playing table and all you competitors can be recognized only by their huge and unique hats. The whole game process uses western style and you will have the feeling of being in an old western saloon. The game has more than a dozen of unique environments to play in and more than a hundred of opponents to choose from.

The aim of the game Governor of Poker is not only to win other players. Well, it is the main goal, of course, but the game developer decided to add some new features to make it even more challenging. While playing poker you win money. In other games you are just gaining more money which usually is transferred into your scores at the end of the game. In this game your goal is to win money and to buy new buildings to become a Texas tycoon. You start from a small town then you need to own all its buildings. You can point your mouse to the new building to know its cost and see if you have enough money to purchase it or you need to play and win some more games to earn extra money.

Of course, Governor of Poker is adjusted to fit the amateurs of the poker game and for real game masters. You can see the tutorial and learn about the basic principles of the game and the process of achieving success. When the game starts all the players receive 2 cards. You can see only your cards and you can not see other players’ faces to see their reaction after receiving the cards. Remember a hit song “Poker face”? The best players have such a face. But you can see the steam coming out of the ears under the hat when your opponent is angry. When the player is thinking or not sure about the decision he or she is tapping fingers.

When you have two cards you can make a decision about what to do next. You can choose among the following actions: fold your bet, call and raise it. Check what other players do to make a right strategy decision. Then you’ll have three more rounds. The aim is to get the perfect combination of five-card poker hand out of two and the five more cards that are usually called “community cards”.

Governor of Poker is the right game to play at any time. It adds spice in your everyday life because you can enjoy gambling without any risk to lose money. The developer should think about the new sequel with a real multiplayer mode support.
