Governor of Poker 3 Reviews

I had no problem until I bought a chip package. I don’t know why I did it because I feel like games target people that spend money on them. It seemed like every single game after that was rigged. I get I won’t win every hand with the best hand, but it got ridiculous. Players calling raises with trash, just like every other poker game, then calling bets on the flop with no pair or draw, but they get runner runner to win so often. I was losing continuously. I lost every single chip. What really rubbed me the wrong way was after I lost at one point they had a thing pop up that said “REVENGE!!! Get back the chips you lost.” They were trying to play off my emotions and get me to buy more chips. That is insanely crooked. But that is what a lot of people do. They get mad, then buy more chips to win them back from the crappy players they lost them to. I honestly think it is rigged. I lost so much so fast. It was like they knew what cards were coming. I would not recommend this game to anyone. I am extremely aggravated.

Very obvious bots will go all in on nothing and beat you off of the last card at a way higher rate than you would ever see at a real poker table. Always happens on hands when you get an amazing start/flop too. Blackjack is even worse. Dealer will start out with a 10 about 70% of the time and hits 20 and 21s off of low cards at a much higher rate than real blackjack. In addition, you can predict if you will bust/be safe based on what happens with the other 2 players, as the game usually has one person bust, one win, and one lose by 1. Bots also join for one hand and change the hand where you would have gotten a blackjack, you lose, the bot wins and immediately leaves. Way more shady tactics are also used but I would have to write a 10 page essay to cover them all. Also the developer, if he ever responds, is just gonna state how they are “rng” certified. But if you go to the itech website, you won’t find the game, nor the developers name anywhere on their website. Such a joke that this has been allowed to stay up for as long as it has.

This game was fun back in 2018 and 2019. I was actually able to win chips back then. Now this game has completely changed. Everybody goes all in constantly so you can never even play the game how you’re supposed to. You will ALWAYS lose. You will lose 9 out of 10 times to the other people playing. Even if you play for hours. Somebody else will always have a better hand than you. I think this game is now rigged to make you lose, so that you want to buy chips with your own hard earned money. I was able to win over 10 million, and keep it years ago. And I was able to make more consistently. Not to mention now, I will witness the same two people around me win EVERY SINGLE TIME. Please fix this game to how it used to be.. and get rid of all the little kids who just go all in right away. They obviously don’t play poker for the fun of it. And please make it so you can purchase chips with your gold.. literally all you can spend it on is hats… that’s wack dude. SOOOOOOOO RIGGGGEEEEDDDDD

This game is absolutely manipulative and rigged in multiple ways. The slots have been adjusted to almost never pay when they used to pay constantly. The black jack also appears to move back and forth from too easy to win tons of money to suddenly locking and you wont win ever no matter what. When the game is in give mode you get poker hands that are not mathematically possible and cant lose for hours. This is followed by hours or days where you never win no matter what. So if their “RNG” randomness includes 4 flushes, followed by 3 straights in row followed by a bunch of 3 of a kinds, no other player getting a chance in a high level tournament in row.... ok whatever. There is no explanation for the types of silly hands this game generates. It also will give one person or the entire table the same cards over and over again. Like you get an A6 for every hand 5 times in row. How is that random? This is an extremely addictive and manipulative pay to play. They are in Amsterdam to avoid taxes and regulation on the huge profits from playing with your head. Do not buy money. They will lock the game so you lose until you get desperate and buy a “few” chips just to have a chance to win it back. They then remove cheap options and raise the price until you feel pressured by your team to continue to compete for points and dumb rewards. You were warned. Stay away.

You will get beat by the dealer constantly in black jack when you bet more then you normally do 9/10 the dealer gets lower cards and hits 3 or 4 times and gets 18-21 or just has 18-21 or you’ll draw with the dealer, every once in a while or if you’ve lost over and over the dealer will bust a couple times in a row and you’ll win. Seems like the dealer is using a normal deck and the players have a deck with 4x the amount of face cards in it it’s almost like low cards don’t exist some times you’ll just hit 10s or face cards 90% of the time, only when you have 12 or higher tho, when you have 11 you rarely get a face card same with having 7-9. The algorithm is obviously tilted in the dealers favor not just a little bit either, there is times when you literally don’t want to play because the dealer is just a wizard dealing himself 17-21 and you literally can’t win. All in all unless you play for fun I seriously don’t recommend this game, you will laugh at the way the cards are dealt and what comes up on the board, it is beyond unrealistic…..

Please do yourself a favor, and do not even start to play this game. Everything I have read in every review is so true! Bad beats, spins that only give bottom of the barrel wins, crooked af blackjack, piggy bank that when purchased with real money only disappears with support being of absolutely no help. I took screenshots before and after of the missing chip issue which I sent to support... Their response 11 days later was, “Sorry, but I can’t do anything for you because we only keep the last 10 days of history.” And this was on me spending real money to buy their fake money... eff them!

The only way their greedy ways will change, is if they start losing players, period. There are far better ways to spend your time than wasting it on this game, especially if you are looking for a fair game of poker.

Think about it, all these reviews by people who don’t know each other, that are saying the same exact things, can only be because it is all true. AND, THE ROBOTIC REPLYS, TO EVERY SINGLE REVIEW FROM THE DEVELOPER, SHOULD BE CLUE #1... JUST STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED...!!

Updated: After my review I had another incident where a video ad started at the same time as my tournament and covered the screen for the first two hands, forcing me out of the game. That is beyond unacceptable. (Also, the developer’s response, as predicted, is their stock lie. I am absolutely not saying game play is rigged because I don’t have enough data. All of the spins, however, are clearly rigged. They say random but you never win the higher amounts.)

Original review: The game play is fun and some of the games/missions add a new dimension. Just be warned, the ads, which are already over the top, become completely intrusive and video ads start interrupting the game play unless you spend money. Also, the spins for various things (e.g. the hourly free spin and the Spin & Play) are completely rigged. They have responded to other reviews with claims it is not, but it is the most obvious aspect of the game and it makes it hard to trust the legitimacy of the rest of the game play. The fact that they even try to respond when it is so readily apparent suggests they are not competent programmers or they are frauds. Either way it’s bad.

Edit: Note in their response how they only address my comment on the RNG. They know the rest is an issue and it's pay-to-play now and they don't care. Don't know how their rating is so high - check the feedback on the posts on their FB page for the real story.

Been using this for a couple months. Was pretty decent though they have had an ongoing issue with spins/chests not working, and their customer service does nothing to rectify. They recently made a feature change making it much harder to earn chips in their challenges, making the spins even more important (unless you pay to play), but still haven't addressed the bug. That change also has resulted in many more players who play bingo and go all in at the start. That's fine heads up, but your odds of winning with the better hand are seriously compromised, and you end up having to take people on short-stacked all the time.

Also their Random Number Generator (or implementation thereof) is a joke. It's set up the same for each player so there is a high likelihood of you having the same cards as someone else or if you're playing multiple tables, having the same hand in multiple tables.

Governor of Poker 3 claims to be a skill-based poker game, but its so-called RNG (Random Number Generator) feels anything but random. It’s laughably predictable and blatantly rigged to favor whoever just spent money or is about to lose big enough to prompt a purchase. You can play perfectly, make statistically sound decisions, and still lose to absurdly improbable hands time after time. How is it that flushes and straights magically appear out of nowhere in every critical hand when you’re about to win? The RNG is a joke, designed not to mimic real poker odds but to manipulate outcomes in favor of emotional spikes. It’s no coincidence this happens right after you’ve been lured into spending chips or when they want to push you toward a “special offer.” The constant barrage of pop-ups for chip packages and gold purchases confirms that this game is just a shameless cash grab. You’ll quickly notice that free-to-play players mysteriously lose far more often in crucial hands than those who pay. The game penalizes your success, throttles your bankroll, and ensures that you’ll either pay up or rage quit. Governor of Poker 3 doesn’t deserve to be called a poker game. It’s a slot machine disguised as strategy, preying on unsuspecting players who think they have a chance to win. If you’re looking for a fair poker experience, run far away from this scam and find a game where skill, not manipulation, determines the outcome. 1/10 – Avoid this rigged mess.

In blackjack the dealer wins 83% of the time and 6 out of 10 times gets a 20 with a face card showing. People say, well the blackjack is rigged but the poker seems fair. Are you serious? So you think the blackjack cheats but they’re not going to cheat in poker as well? There are many tells in the poker game. Bots are inserted on all the tables to check you to the river where they always get their card. More often than not if you fold bad cards, The flop will lay three of a kind or a straight down, effectively teasing you and encouraging you not to fold. Fall for that and you’re 7–2 and ends up losing, as it should. On the higher stakes poker tables it is clear when two players are talking to each other and basically robbing you of your chips.
The bottom line is, if you don’t like playing real poker and don’t mind a rigged game, the graphics are nice. This game is built beautifully and runs really well. If it was 100% legit, and don’t believe the RNG certification that they just make up, it would be one of the best apps ever made. I am not kidding. Unfortunately all it will do is make you angry. Who knew the Dutch were so dishonest? Find another way to play poker.

I used to love this game, it was so much fun collecting my activity points and opening my chests for the week. NOW, they lowered all the activity points values and even took some away so it is IMPOSSIBLE to open your chests for the week! They “claim” on their facebook page that they’re giving us “more options” to get our activity points- what they added was scratch off cards and piggy bank- both which you have to pay for! They’re clearly money driven and only care about forcing people to buy their stuff. Everyone has stopped playing and is deleting GovernorofPoker3 , how are you going to make money if no one is playing?? I keep checking back hoping that they will change the activity point values back to what they originally were. If they don’t change it back I’ll have to delete GovernorofPoker3 also- very sad.

And as a side note, the blackjack is completely rigged. I used to only play it to get my daily points at a loss. There’s no way that when I get 20 the dealer will consistently get 21 by hitting 3 times. Read the other reviews if you don’t believe me….

I have been playing this game for a while. It has been ok, but recently they changed a daily reward format. It now almost requires you to purchase items weekly to complete them. They must have changed something in their algorithm for cards also. Myself and friends I have been playing with are all complaining how hard it has become at the higher levels to just get a decent hand in the recent weeks. If you finally grind up through the lower poker tables and save your chips to start playing on higher tables you get beat by ridiculous hands that show up constantly on these tables. Like flushes losing to full houses much too often. The blackjack tables are even more unbelievable. Constantly losing when holding 20 to dealer 3 hitting to get 21. It happens a lot. Read the other comments. The developer says they use a random card generator, but that is not true. I don’t care what they say. Too many users all say the same thing.

That being said, this game is good to take a little time to play for fun and realize it will take your chips from you. Prices are way too high for what you will receive to play with. Too bad they have changed something cause I have already noticed some friends/players have quit with more on the way including myself.

I absolutely love playing GOP3. It’s a fun community of gamers. The poker games itself are fun with levels and prizes to work towards including team incentivized prizes. My issues are a bug with the blackjack game where when playing a higher limit room, the screen will freeze and then you get bounced out to the low limit, and my BIGGEST complaint is that each time I’ve purchased my piggy bank, half of the chips go missing at some point shortly after purchasing and/or gaming. It’s weird bc when breaking the piggy bank I’ve found I’ve received double the chips, an then after playing they go missing. The customer service has been little to no help addressing the matter. Basically just saying it’s not them, it’s me, despite all of the same complaints from other gamers. It’s been so frustrating that I have set up a camera to record the chips I receive and then the loss the next time I purchase my piggy bank. The most annoying thing is that I’m paying for this to happen. I’ve considered not playing and I’ve shared my complaints with other players and on other forums.

When you’re playing blackjack and the dealer gets 21 never bet wait at least 1 turn most of the time 2 because you are guaranteed to lose the random number generator is a joke the game will favor the losing player by never giving your good hand a chance despite having the perfect card ever so you will lose all your money and tune you into a straight crash out pushing you into their money grab scheme constantly making you want to buy more chips by taking your coins every game when you first start playing at the beginning of the day whatever game you play you will win the first 3-5 games betting small bc you’re scared to get your pockets ran so bet big after that you’ll never win another game and never start betting big after you win 2 games in a row I’ve been studying the game’s algorithm and it’s rigged big time if you’re losing back to back just get off the game and come back tomorrow bc you’re guaranteed to lose all your money and probably buy some overpriced scratchers or club membership play the game like I’m telling you and then come back tell me I was so right and the game is rigged you get punished if you don’t buy stuff bc you’ll never get ahead if you don’t I swear it puts bots on table and favors their hand so you bet big then at the last 2 cards they get a dang full house or straight I’ve played 3 years now’s in my spiraling cycle of crashoutness and I’ve gotten 1 royal flush and whole lot of 🍑🪛 hard too buddy

They are so proud of their RNG and that’s all they talk about. This game has been around for many years and never anything but negative reviews. I play the game regularly because I like to play and unfortunately it does seem to be the best poker game out there. But when a review is left with negative comments that are true to the mark, they have a canned response that they use regularly, which is nothing more than a complete way to ignore your negative comments. Not to mention the fact that their so called “specials” are so ungodly priced and the payouts are so unreasonably low. I understand they want to make money, that’s the name of the game, but if they made things much more reasonable, it would be easier to spend a little bit of money on this game. You would think that after all these years and all these hundreds of negative comments, the developers would begin to realize, you’re doing it wrong. But then again, there's a lot of stupid people out there that will waste their hard-earned money.

Great app to play with friends. My friends and I recently got into poker and one of them discovered GovernorofPoker3. This game has been mostly fun, with some frustrating gambling moments.

One bug which I have contacted support about which has occurred to me at least 5 times. When entering a tournament, there will be times where the room isnt filled up. You need 5 players. I would leave the tournament before it starts. If someone is joining and you leave at this exact moment, your chips are taken and you are placed as 5th in that tournament. At least that’s what I thought. I stopped leaving any tournament even if it hasnt started. The pass 3 times ish it kicked me out when the tournament started and I’m placed as 5th. I have contacted support and it is in fact not a connection problem which support defaulted to.

Other than that, there is in fact times where one player is the favorite. There has been times where I will constantly go in with the worst hands and continuously win, and there are times where I go in with pairs (even with pair As) and lose continuously.

I’ve been playing this game for maybe a year and a half and it is fun, but you will get frustrated a lot. Strangely when you get someone to go all in with the worst hand they end up winning probably 90% of the time. Then there are other players who seemingly never lose. They have profiles full of trophies and rings and huge bankrolls and they somehow always beat the odds. Once I go broke in this game I’m moving on to something else.
Added note: a lot of folks complain about donk players just shoving all in with any two cards. I believe this is a result of the overly abundant bad beats that are available in this game. People get frustrated with losing to junk hands over and over and over again so they just start pushing all in with anything. I have gotten frustrated and been guilty of doing this myself. The robotic responses to people’s reviews are a big clue as to what’s going on here. “We use the best......we favor no one.....better luck next time...”
Also the spins are a joke. No one ever wins the higher amounts. I’ve done thousands of spins and it’s always bottom of the barrel wins. DO NOT waste your money buying them, they’ll ask you every time you log in.

…. this is easily my fave poker game. I love all the variations available to play. Fun!! Then why only 4 STARS? 1. In blackjack when you are dealt 2 aces, you can split them. You then get one card ONLY on each of the aces. You’re not allowed to hit again on either hand. But GOP3 allows you to continue hitting on each hand. Fix it, please. 2. The CHECK/FOLD button in poker does not reset properly every time it’s used. There are times when you press it and it doesn’t reset thus automatically carrying over to the next card or hand as the case may be. Fix it, please. 3. Please,please,please stop popping up the available chip packages when moving from game to game. It is annoying and then some. If this wasn’t my fave game, I’d delete it just because of this. Stop it, please. 4. Lastly, the only thing missing is a true tournament where however many who wish to sign up are allowed to (can have a max). All the entrants are spread out 9 to a table across how ever many tables it takes, balancing the tables whenever it’s needed. Add it, please

EDIT: I forgot to mention another blackjack error. You are not offered insurance when the dealer’s up card is am Ace. That’s bad. Fix it, please.

This is a very fun and addicting game but what starts off as enjoyable poker where skill meets skill, it quickly turns into roulette as players with the tier level VIP, and High Roller (they have over 3 million chips) come in and Consistently go “all-in” before any cards are shown in attempt to bully the table in donating their chips to them. The blinds are a drop in the ocean to them so they just consistently keep doing it until they bust the table or everyone else leaves.

My suggestion would be to keep the tiers playing with the same tiers to keep the pots even. Or have a higher blind for VIP /High rollers on non high roller rooms tables, or auto boot someone from a table if the go “all-in” 3 times consecutively. Just some thoughts.

Overall a really fun game and glad I downloaded it.

I love this game and think they do a great job keeping RNG standards. It’s poker, you’re not always going to win but that’s the nature of the beast, it’s a gamble. Don’t expect the game to just let you win. You’re playing against individuals who also have their own strategies. Some are call stations some like to go all in immediately every hand which is annoying and can take away from the experience of the rest of the players at the table who want to utilize strategy. But that’s also the nature of the game, in real life people do that as well. I have yet to spend a dime on the game and have won up to a million several times. This game gave me more confidence to get out there and play the actual tables and I’ve done well. It’s definitely comparable to IRL to me in a lot of ways
