Despite the oversights, you could go all-in on Governor of Poker – it may be based on a very familiar casino game, and there are no shortage of related computer games, but the property management and western angles are a refreshing and amusing addition.
Pure Nintendo: "Whether you’re a new card player or one with lots of experience, there’s potential for Governor of Poker to frustrate. I thought I would really like this game, but time has shown me otherwise – it’s average at best. Perhaps the sequels are better? This oldie probably should have remained on the PC. If you’re a big fan of Texas Hold ‘em, there’s some fun to be had here, quirks and all. Otherwise you may want to take a pass and wait for one of the sequels to arrive on the eShop. Curious ones might be able to find a free version online to check out first."
"Betting their upcoming project will give even existing poker players reason to invest, Teyon explained to BeefJack what changes they're making to the 3DS version of Governor of Poker in preparation for an (unconfirmed) October launch."
Pocket Gamer: Be honest, now - who hasn't wanted to be the Mayor of Canasta, or the Lord Chief Justice of Gin Rummy? Maybe even the Princess of Solitaire?
Well, no one, because those positions don't make any sense. Still, that hasn't stopped Connect2Media from offering you the chance to become the Governor of Poker.
