Governor of Poker is a Western-style multiplayer game for mobile devices and computers. This free poker app is the perfect way to play against real players and friends without putting any money on the line. The software has a premium feel without the price.

Everything is inspired by the saloons and hotels of the old western era. The aim of the game is to build up your bankroll and unlock the highest-stakes saloons. Prove your poker skills against other players from around the world in the wild West.

The GOP3 software is well-made and high-res

Even though the game is free-to-play, it’s got a lot of features that major poker sites use. You can even set up private clubs, the same as PokerStars Home Games. We’re going to focus on the latest game, Governor of Poker 3. We’ll tell you about which poker games you can play, how to invite friends to private poker games, and how to win the game.

It’s easy to get immersed in Governor of Poker 3. There are lots of ways to progress through the game (more about that later). As you move through the ranks and build up your chips, you can change your cowboy or cowgirl appearance. Your hat is the most important item to upgrade because everyone sees it.

Slide to increase your bet size or choose pre-made sizes

The bet slider is easy to use, with pre-selected sizes like half pot, three-quarter, and all-in. There’s a chat window to write messages, plus reactions, emojis, and gifts. There are lots of ways to socialize; you can even add players from the multiplayer tables as your friends.

GOP3 is an iOS, APK, or Steam app. You can also use your internet browser to play poker without a download.

Types Of Games

You may not be able to play every game at the beginning, but you’ll unlock them quickly.

Cash Games. One of the first games you’ll play at Governor of Poker 3 is at a cash game saloon. In the beginning, these tables have a maximum of five players. Once you unlock new areas of the poker world, the cash games can have up to eight players.

Most of the saloons, shops, and other spots in Governor of Poker 3 have cash games running. In the Beginners Lake area, four out of the six games are cash games.

You can sit at three cash game tables at once

Sit & Go. The second most common game in Governor of Poker 3 is Sit & Go, usually 5-handed. There’s one in each new area of the map you unlock. Win sit & go’s and you’ll unlock badges for the saloons.

Expect your opponents to play more casually than in a real-money game

Spin & Go. Three-way turbo sit & go’s are here, with a wild West twist. These games are just like Blast at 888poker, except there’s no real money involved. You’ll start with a small stack and the blinds will increase rapidly, forcing you to commit to your cards.

The Spin & Go’s are similar to the ones at GGPoker or 888poker

Push Or Fold. There are some Push Or Fold games to play, but fewer than cash games or sit & go’s. The blinds are high and the stacks are small in this format. You’ll have to commit to your hands or toss them in the muck!

A bar at the bottom gives you reactions to use after hands finish

There are also Featured Special Events to play, like Spin & Go’s or cash games with huge buy-ins.

What type of poker do you prefer?

Playing poker with friends is easy on GOP3. Find the More Poker tab on the left side of the application. Click it, and you’ll see another tab with Party Cash Game (Invite Only). You can now start the cash game table and invite your friends with an email. Once they start Governor of Poker 3 and type in your referral code, they’ll appear at your table.

You can invite friends with the referral code or by email

The premise is very simple; play the different games in Governor of Poker 3 and build your bankroll. As you play and win you’ll unlock new areas, higher stakes, and tougher competition. There’s no secret to fast-tracking your way to the top. You have the option to buy chips from the store to speed up progression, but that costs real money.

When you download and start GOP3 for the first time, you’ll have enough free chips to begin your poker journey.
