Stay Away From This Game Oct 18, 2021

Those Computer Bots Their Cheater's They Aways Have A Good Hand They Go All in With A Pair Fucking Bullshit I Can't Imagine Paying In This Rigged Game.

I've had this game for years and I love it. I've certainly made many in app purchases as well. But my game keeps freezing. I'm playing in the tournament in Baltimore and it keeps freezing after about 4-5 hands and I have to leave the table, lose my buy in and lose my stack to get it working again. And then it just freezes AGAIN! Ill be uninstalling it for this reason. I spent real world money on those tickets for the tournament more
There’s good news, and there’s... Oct 19, 2018

By Vintagenarian

I enjoy this game. It’s well-designed and fun to play (there’s a big But coming…read on). I’m a seasoned player, do not mind losing fairly, and play this game on my iPad at least 1-2 hours every day as a side diversion while working at my desk. I’ve achieved the #3 ranked player in “the world,” and have (eventually) won tournaments on nearly all continents. But after playing for a couple months now, and spending some $100 in Real Money for additional chips (the pleasure has been worth it to me), I’ll soon be letting my $20 million bank play out and move on. The honest reason is simple: the “house” (in this case the developer) uses shills, in the form of cartoon players, who make completely unrealistic bets having only one obvious purpose: to separate you from your money. No reasonable player ever goes All-In with the absurd frequency of these toon bozos; no real player ever bluffs that much or that foolishly. After all, cartoon players have nothing to lose. The end result, with frequent annoyance, takes away from the true enjoyment of this game when you know you’re being cheated by the house. For beginners, this is a good and fun way to learn Texas Holdem, with beautiful graphics. But if you expect fair rules in the long term, find another version of the game. (To the developer: this isn’t a decent way to make money, folks. Offer honest players an honest game, and you’ll have loyal users like me stay all-in for the long haul.) more

Game is entertaining and easy to understand. Had to dock rating a little for the algorithm used for placing and the randomizer. When multiple people bust out of a tournament, their exit placement is determined by who has the most chips entering the last hand. In this game, you are always awarded the lowest exit number. For example, if 4 players are left in a tournament and you and another player get knocked out at same time, but you had more chips entering the hand, you still get 4th. more
Amazing game but now what? Mar 28, 2021

By CS sj

So, I’ve completed the entire globe. All but one. Re-played the ones I didn’t get gold trophies until I did. I spent $1 to not get ads. I think this is a great value! Yes, it can be frustrating in the beginning when you don’t have tickets. You earn them for free by playing the 2 player free portion every 4 hours until you hit the ticket. I literally have over 50 tickets now because at the highest levels it is $6 million buy in. I wish I could pay with tickets. For $1 and many hours of entertainment, who can complain?! Here’s my question. I have the final tournament to win. Then what? Do I have to delete and start over or is there more beyond this with an update? more

Fun game, really simple and easy to pick up, but it lost a star for the fact that you can't replay matches after winning gold in them, which makes grinding to win money for the higher tournaments very difficult. Also I agree with everyone else, the game is rigged. I understand losing, but 9 times out of 10 if you try to bluff someone else will call it with a better hand. And I refuse to believe that someone could always have a full house when I do. Sorry, but you won't get $ from me like that. more
Simulation needs work Oct 19, 2018

By Tom can't find a unique nick

I appreciate that this poker app has tasteful, elegant graphics and photo-realistic avatars. However, after four months of play, I have come to the conclusion that this product does not (yet) employ fair game play algorithms nor random shuffle. For example, your simulated opponents will frequently go "all in" before the flop for hands they could not win without the turn or river. Low card and other junk hands that most players would fold become full house or straight draws that justify open bets. It is as though the outcome of each round is known and your simulated opponents bet accordingly. That is frustrating. Also tournaments seem rigged in your favor such that, unless you really botch your hands, you'll likely end up at the top so it's easier to advance to the next tournament. I hoped for an authentic experience in order to improve my betting game. If you just want to practice Texas Hold 'Em in a gorgeous environment and don't care strongly about authenticity, I would recommend this app. However I plan to look for another poker app that better simulates real game play. more

functions well. I got to basically end of 2nd level (you do a tour of continents) before deciding to quit. most hands have everyone betting and AI goes all in a terrible hands and at weird times. Also, I'm sure it's just me but the amount of bad beats seems awfully high. key to success seems to he spending more money; no surprise there. I'm all for paying for good game but I'd like to see more realism for the price. I'd give 2 Stars but it could get better deeper into game so who knows more

I’ve been playing for a week. Very fun the first couple days. 2 main problems. First, they try to get your money. If you lose a few tournaments (highly likely), you can’t go back and replay a tournament you’ve already won, and it takes virtual currency to enter most tournaments. It’s very tempting to drop actual money to get some VC to play tournaments. Second, the goal is to increase your world ranking. I’ve already noticed that a head to head challenge is very difficult...it’s as if the AI can see my cards and/or knows what cards are coming up. Several times, the AI went all in with bad cards and then caught a straight or flush or 3 of a kind on the river. Like the AI doubled up on me 3 hands in a row via a river miracle. So occasionally, the odds are stacked against the player, you lose VC, they try to get you to spend real money. Very fun game if you don’t care about progressing and just want to play a hand of poker on the toilet every once in a while. more

Very addictive, I love the offline play. Won world champ with only paying the min to get rid of ads. AI plays very loose aggressive and loves to see the flop, and will almost always go all in on pocket 10s or better. It would be nice if the top 10 had a personality/play style and if the AI changed up thier style from time to time. overall very fun, just play tight aggressive and you will do well.

Fun but there’s a big problem Nov 18, 2021

By xavmart

There’s a lot of things to like about this app however, after a little while of me playing, the app crashes & doesn’t stop until I completely delete the app. The first time this happened (I had put real $$$ into it to earn more coins) I was in the middle of a game & the app crashed so I closed out the app & tried again. It opened up but 5 seconds after, it closes again. Since this kept happening I decided to delete the app then download it again and when I opened it up, everything was reset & I was back on square one so I lost all my money! I kept playing like usual then not too long after playing it, it crashed again. After deleting it again & re-downloading it, it happened AGAIN. This must be only happening to me because I’ve looked at reviews for this game & that’s never been mentioned. more

Pay to Play! Dec 12, 2018

By CrPokeHer

4.3 out of 5? Uh huh. The tournaments aren’t worth playing once you advance. You actually lose money in every tournament you play in no matter what place you take. If you come in scone or third you may as well not even play. Buy in for 40k. Third place gets 7k in a 16 person tournament. Ok. It’s all just a way to get you to buy chips. If the payouts were more realistic there’d be no reason for you to have to pay to keep playing in the tournaments so they keep the prize money low so you end up running out. I refuse to pay for more chips so I end up waiting 4 hours at a time to spin or play free heads up games. I’ve been beaten so many times when the computer only has 1 out, or to 4 card straits or a 4 card flush. It happens way too often in this game to be coincidence. You put your money in with the best hand and more often than not you’re losing. The only way to win these tournaments is to play extremely tight and only bet when you have the nuts. But then the screwed up blind system catches up with you and you’re basically done. Again all a way for them to keep your chips low so you buy more. Waste of time, don’t waste your money by paying. more

Game is unplayable now. Once you finally manage to get past the opening loading sequence (which takes about 4 full closes and reopens), You win a hand and it just stops loading. Everything can be clicked on but nothing happens in the game. The only fix is to leave the game and lose your buy in. more
App always crashes Jan 17, 2022

By mrsnatklee41

I used to love this app and I played it all the time, until one day I opened the app and it immediately crashed and brought me back to my phone Home Screen. I've tried everything to try and make it not crash. Unfortunately nothing works that I've tried. I know the only way to play again is to uninstall and then reinstall the app, but then you lose all your progress in the game and have to completely start over. There hasn't been an update, atleast for iOS on this app in over a year. If they just fixed bugs and crashes, maybe more people would continue to play it. Highly disappointed. I suggest downloading governor of poker 2 offline. I've been playing that and have had no issues. Really sad that I can't enjoy poker world anymore. To anyone that downloads this don't ever shut your phone off while your mid poker tournament game. That's when it starts crashing all the time. Hope this helps others who are considering playing this app. more

I liked it at first but the more I play the more it rips you off. On the free money spin every 3 hours it doesn't always give you your bonus money 3 to 4 times now it hasn't given me anything when it should have. They also seem to make it pretty much impossible to win after you hit level 13 and its ridiculous how the other players go all in all the time just so they can steal the pots. My ratings have went from a 5 to a 2 very quickly. more
Completely Shameful Nov 2, 2018

By Moxthafox

A smooth, entertaining offline poker game (albeit perhaps a bit strange algorithm design at some points) utterly ruined by blatant attempts of getting its players to pay real-world cash. The Ticket System in the game is a slap in the face to people who simply want a decent offline poker game. There comes a point in the game where it quite literally does not let you play any more poker until you reach for your real world wallet. Once you win a tournament in a certain area, you can’t go back and play it to get more chips or even just play it for fun. On top of that hurdle, they also have areas that you cannot play without having a Ticket, and you can’t take on any bosses without completing the whole area. In short, the game is designed to draw you in for cash, just like 99% of all of these horrible excuses for mobile games nowadays. It’s completely pathetic. Whatever happened to Angry Birds and Plants Vs. Zombies, where you didn’t have to vigilantly wait for ads to pop up every time you do ANY ACTION on the game? It’s a slap in the face. more

By A Google user

I only play offline. Everything is pretty enjoyable and pretty par for the course for a.i. poker. Unfortunately, I can't continue unless I wait a few hours and hope the spin gives me a ticket to play in the tournament or I buy one with real money (which I refuse to do). Be nice if I could go back and just play matches (no buy in, set number of starting chips) even if there is no gain in them. Since it is literally unplayable from this point on, I can't justify giving it better than 1 star. more

By Alex Knight

The first time I played this game was on a different phone. Now that I have switched phones, all my progress was lost, even though I am signed in and connected through Facebook. The second issue that I am having only occurs on my new phone: when a round ends, the round doesn't begin, the poker chips are given to the winner and then it just stops. The clock counting down the free play in upper left hand corner still works, and all the on the screen work; but a new hand is never dealt more

App is great but after having it a month it gets stuck when you win a hand. For some reason not everyone's cards are shown at the end of the hand and it just won't load the next sequence. I can touch things on the screen with looking at my profile and stuff, but the next hand won't load, it just gets stuck there. I had the same issue with android and iphone and only way to fix is to uninstall and start all over again from square one. more

Crashes since Jan 2022 - it used to work great, and I loved the game. However, since Jan 2022 it keeps crashing. I can start it and get into a room play 1 maybe 2 rounds and then it stops. I haveanaged to leave the room and loose the entry tokens to have things happening again when re-entering a room. This bug must be resolved to get better ratings. more

When can we expect Poker World 2 Sep 13, 2019

By x7H

This game has been highly enjoyable for me. I work on ships and spend most of my time without WiFi. I hoping for a new version with more cities or you can just change the name to Poker Universe and just change the names of the 66 tournament sites. I’ll go for that. No other poker game looks or sounds as good as yours. I finished this game on 4 different devices I only paid the 2 dollars on each device to get rid of the advertising, but I would pay much more for 100 or 200 cities on Poker World 2 or Poker Universe 1. more

When I turn on Poker World Youda games The same picture keeps coming up at the table and then it takes me out. I’ve tried this many times but I keep getting the table with my cards and that’s it it crashes. No big deal except I have a couple years of money on there and don’t want to lose it. What do I do I love the game. Other than this glitch I love the game and give it a five star rating that’s assuming I get it to work more
it’s good and easy game Jul 22, 2020

By dominic thai tran

hi all, here is my real story. I have been playing this game for 1.5 months. And now, I am the best player. I defeated 66 cities with all golden trophies, be 1st in world top, brought all items to increase reputation, and end up with maximum level (30). I still have more than 30M in chips and 2 tickets. More interesting, I have not SPENT any penny for this game, but I was disturbed by ads because I did not buy chips or tickets to remove them. So, just playing and winning, collecting chips from daily challenge, viewing ads if I like. This game does not cheat us I confirm, but we must be smarter than it to win. I found out methods to beat it, and success is up to 80%. It is hard to believe, but I still keep all evidence. ok, do not let them take your real money. good luck more
Stuck... Apr 30, 2018

By Schmeldo

I've been playing this game for a couple months. Started it to practice for a charity tournament I was in. I've enjoyed it and haven't had to pay for chips yet, but I'm stuck on Brazil. 26K buy-in, have to beat 16 players to advance. I've come in 2nd or 3rd several times, but can't get past it. It's frustrating as heck. I actually "spent" almost 250K chips trying to beat it. If that's the way they get you to buy chips, it ain't happening. more
one of the best! Sep 8, 2021

By qbayarea.gurl

love this game keeps me busy cards seem to be fair meaning not the computer dealing out hands cheating i say they are more random then most! also to buy chips is or tickets doesn’t cost as much as most other games and they have free video that seems to be unlimited so you don’t have to wait to watch the video again for $1200 free. you play around the world and compete and knock out the top 10 of there players and every place there’s gold silver and bronze to move on i just complete my first country all gold so you can move on but also go back if you have a silver and you want to try to make it gold! it’s fun love it! let’s play poker see you on the tables i’m the one with the crown on fire !!!!! more
Good but some issues Apr 25, 2020

By Mrsp22

I love this game I've been playing for a bit now and it's a great game. There's one problem I don't like. I find it hard to get tickets without buying them. I've gotten 1 ticket in about my last fifty spins and lost so now I can't get into tournaments and that stinks. I love this game so much that I'm giving it a 5 star review but game creators if you see this text I hope you will listen to my review and fix that. Thank you more
Great But don’t use the in app purchases Aug 1, 2022

I have a lot of fun playing this game off-line, especially when I’m traveling. The only thing I would say is don’t use the in app purchases because the game does glitch and freeze causing you to delete and re-download. Once you re-download, you lose all your progress and need to start over. more

Took a few years but just finished as World Champion. I can still play poker, but I’m number 1. Goodie for me. I have $88 million in the bank, 28 gold tickets and 2 red ones, if that means anything to you. Lots of fun over the years, hardly any ads, and AI was really pretty good for off line. My go to in the morning and when the internet goes out. Will always keep it. Good luck. more

Good game, great AI opponents. Coul have some improvements: (1) no waiting time to replay (after failing) the Free Daily Challenge; (2) option to have 4 colors (black, blue, red, green) cards instead of just 2 colors; (3) can't see final hands after winning; (4) and possibility to replay completed levels because sometimes i want to play an easy and fast tournament with just 4 or 6 opponents. Just increase the stakes after completion instead of forbidding the replay of those levels. more
Smart playing equals success Jan 2, 2020

By gdubs65

Overall I enjoyed this game. Like every other game with in-app purchases there are aspects of it designed to make you spend some money while playing and I can accept that. A couple of those affect game play, but just like every other poker situation you have to learn to adapt in order to succeed. I’ll describe a couple of those - 1) the AI is very aggressive in its betting and bluffs way more than real world players 2) way more hands are played by the AI than should be 3) the AI is set up so that raises happen in succession by different players, requiring you to continuously call higher and higher bets in order to stay in the hand. How do you handle these - the same way you do in a real world game. Good stack management practices. Recognizing the games betting trends. Developing a strategy and sticking to it. And most importantly being patient and not just betting because you’re bored. If you utilize these strategies then ultimately you’ll win all of the tournaments while spending as little as possible. If not, then just like the real world, you’ll end up spending more money than you intended too. more
Good not Great Jan 30, 2021

By Shae District

Honestly overall I’m quite happy with the game. It’s fun, the graphics are nice, not too much distracting flare. My only issue is many have said is that the players rarely play realistically. Of course dialing in these algorithms is really difficult but my current issue is that either no one bets, or they go all in. I’ve played so many rounds where the computers start w a pair, two pair or set or the flop, often finishing w a full now, and then proceed to never bet at any of the stages. The flip side is that the shove with a pair 9s when there’s straight and flush opportunities on the felt. Overall i enjoy it a lot and do recommend it to friends, however it’s not THE poker app due to its lack of realism. more

This is a whole lot of fun for the person who finds him/herself disconnected for a time. It takes you on a "quest" around the world, in search of poker greatness. The simulated opponents actually play quite realistically. And they don't get all bent out-of-shape when they get crushed:) (unlike human beings) What a fun app! more
A good starter app - until you run out of chips Mar 4, 2020

By Shelby, B.A. UVA '19

This is a great format for poker! The first rounds are awesome for learners as the setup is very clean and predictable. It shows you what your hand is qualified as, which is great for those who are starting to learn. The only drawback that this has is, like a lot of poker apps, once you run out of chips from losing a few games in a row, it’s incredibly hard to build them back up. There is a free spinner that renews every 4 hours where you can win chips, but you have to pay real money for chips or another spin. The ads are a reasonable amount, I hardly notice them. Overall, I would recommend this game. more
When you win all the tournaments it just ends, can’t play anymore Oct 28, 2019

By MB1111

I enjoyed playing it, the different players (and there are many of them) all have there own playing traits, I made it all the way through without spending 1 cent, gold in every tournament and when I won the last tourny it just ended, i expected to at least be able to visit different casinos and buy in but no, once you win all you can play is blackjack or slots. the slots cost 100k per pull and I've never seen them pay more than 30k. After all that effort it would be great if I could still play in the casinos more
Buggy but fun Jan 13, 2022

By jkscript

This is a great game, fast and fun. It is possible to play without spending real money, but only if you have the patience to wait a few hours for the next chance to play for free and win more chips or tickets. Otherwise expect to shell out a few bucks now and then. The biggest issue is unexpected crashes. I had to uninstall and start over, losing all my progress. Be sure not to turn your device off while you’re still in a room! You’ll be sorry. more
Cant listen to music over Bluetooth Mar 3, 2021

By Survivor2099

Like the game. Main issue is that the app forces the audio to output via iPad speakers instead of my connected Bluetooth headphones. For example, when listening to a podcast on Bluetooth headphones, if I open this app, the audio for both the podcast and this game will play over the iPad speakers. Closing or minimizing this app will immediately return the audio to the Bluetooth headphones. more

I've had this game for years and I love it. I've certainly made many in app purchases as well. But my game keeps freezing. I'm playing in the tournament in Baltimore and it keeps freezing after about 4-5 hands and I have to leave the table, lose my buy in and lose my stack to get it working again. And then it just freezes AGAIN! Ill be uninstalling it for this reason. I spent real world money on those tickets for the tournament more
Oct 6, 2020

By John Ivezaj

Fun game, really simple and easy to pick up, but it lost a star for the fact that you can't replay matches after winning gold in them, which makes grinding to win money for the higher tournaments very difficult. Also I agree with everyone else, the game is rigged. I understand losing, but 9 times out of 10 if you try to bluff someone else will call it with a better hand. And I refuse to believe that someone could always have a full house when I do. Sorry, but you won't get $ from me like that. more
Simulation needs work Oct 19, 2018

By Tom can't find a unique nick

I appreciate that this poker app has tasteful, elegant graphics and photo-realistic avatars. However, after four months of play, I have come to the conclusion that this product does not (yet) employ fair game play algorithms nor random shuffle. For example, your simulated opponents will frequently go "all in" before the flop for hands they could not win without the turn or river. Low card and other junk hands that most players would fold become full house or straight draws that justify open bets. It is as though the outcome of each round is known and your simulated opponents bet accordingly. That is frustrating. Also tournaments seem rigged in your favor such that, unless you really botch your hands, you'll likely end up at the top so it's easier to advance to the next tournament. I hoped for an authentic experience in order to improve my betting game. If you just want to practice Texas Hold 'Em in a gorgeous environment and don't care strongly about authenticity, I would recommend this app. However I plan to look for another poker app that better simulates real game play. more

functions well. I got to basically end of 2nd level (you do a tour of continents) before deciding to quit. most hands have everyone betting and AI goes all in a terrible hands and at weird times. Also, I'm sure it's just me but the amount of bad beats seems awfully high. key to success seems to he spending more money; no surprise there. I'm all for paying for good game but I'd like to see more realism for the price. I'd give 2 Stars but it could get better deeper into game so who knows more
Ok for super casual novices Feb 13, 2019

By Tobslice

I’ve been playing for a week. Very fun the first couple days. 2 main problems. First, they try to get your money. If you lose a few tournaments (highly likely), you can’t go back and replay a tournament you’ve already won, and it takes virtual currency to enter most tournaments. It’s very tempting to drop actual money to get some VC to play tournaments. Second, the goal is to increase your world ranking. I’ve already noticed that a head to head challenge is very difficult...it’s as if the AI can see my cards and/or knows what cards are coming up. Several times, the AI went all in with bad cards and then caught a straight or flush or 3 of a kind on the river. Like the AI doubled up on me 3 hands in a row via a river miracle. So occasionally, the odds are stacked against the player, you lose VC, they try to get you to spend real money. Very fun game if you don’t care about progressing and just want to play a hand of poker on the toilet every once in a while. more
Fun but there’s a big problem Nov 18, 2021

By xavmart

There’s a lot of things to like about this app however, after a little while of me playing, the app crashes & doesn’t stop until I completely delete the app. The first time this happened (I had put real $$$ into it to earn more coins) I was in the middle of a game & the app crashed so I closed out the app & tried again. It opened up but 5 seconds after, it closes again. Since this kept happening I decided to delete the app then download it again and when I opened it up, everything was reset & I was back on square one so I lost all my money! I kept playing like usual then not too long after playing it, it crashed again. After deleting it again & re-downloading it, it happened AGAIN. This must be only happening to me because I’ve looked at reviews for this game & that’s never been mentioned. more
Just a money maker for the author Jul 27, 2019

By AllRoundGuy

If you expect to play a poker simulator, this is NOT the game for you. If you just want to kill some time playing around with a poker game that you don’t expect too much from, this is okay. I haven’t spent a dime on this game and I’m glad. This game has up to 39, so far, cartoon characters that you play against. Remarkably they play aggressively and are extremely lucky - like going all in with a pair of threes before the flop against a pair of aces and surprisingly; snicker, snicker; hitting a third three. The probability of winning with pocket aces is 31.6% or about once three hands where you have pocket aces. I’ve had pocket aces numerous times and have yet to win a showdown with them and have only won twice going all in with them. The main point to this game is to make you watch commercials or pay for extra items, in other words, to make lots of money for the author. more
Yes, it’s rigged. But what do you expect? May 9, 2019

By Ringorizzak

Like the other reviewers have said, this game has an algorithm that lets you win with crazy impossible long shots, but then you lose with them too. I’ve been playing B/M poker and online poker 20 years, and the number of 1 outers and runner-runners when you have the computer dead to rights is just silly. I understand apps are meant to make money, but I’d rather just pay $9.99 up front and have realistic odds. Instead I refuse pay a dime and just move on to other games until it will let me win again. (Also some of the tournaments are structured where if you fold the first 8 hands you’re blinded out which is just bonkers. But anyway...) So if you’re looking to pass time it’s a good game. But don’t think that you’re learning anything about realistic hand outcomes- for entertainment purposes only. more

It's a fun game but I wish they would give you a tutorial at the begining. I've never played poker before so I was just blindly guessing what to do based on the hand I had and it was still kind of confusing. I got it eventually but I think it would be more helpful for new players if they got a tutorial at the begining instead of jumping staight into the game. more
Well Designed BUT .... Jun 26, 2019

By petesamzeke

This game is well designed, and could be five stars - but it is clearly geared toward skimming money off the users. If you don’t want to constantly spend your real money for more chips etc, you will have to patiently use the ‘Spin’ and ‘Free Games’ features to build up cash - then expect to be beaten by your cartoon opponents making successful bad bets against your rational ones. You can also expect to frequently receive a ‘five-two’ (or similar) hand three times in a row and/or frequently be beaten by a flush or full-house that is one card better than yours. It’s annoying that the game doesnt produce an honest card distribution and result. If you can overlook that, then you might have some fun with this game. Is it really too much to ask to have a well-designed, honest play, Texas Hold Em App? more

I liked it at first but the more I play the more it rips you off. On the free money spin every 3 hours it doesn't always give you your bonus money 3 to 4 times now it hasn't given me anything when it should have. They also seem to make it pretty much impossible to win after you hit level 13 and its ridiculous how the other players go all in all the time just so they can steal the pots. My ratings have went from a 5 to a 2 very quickly. more

By Alex Knight

The first time I played this game was on a different phone. Now that I have switched phones, all my progress was lost, even though I am signed in and connected through Facebook. The second issue that I am having only occurs on my new phone: when a round ends, the round doesn't begin, the poker chips are given to the winner and then it just stops. The clock counting down the free play in upper left hand corner still works, and all the on the screen work; but a new hand is never dealt more

Crashes since Jan 2022 - it used to work great, and I loved the game. However, since Jan 2022 it keeps crashing. I can start it and get into a room play 1 maybe 2 rounds and then it stops. I haveanaged to leave the room and loose the entry tokens to have things happening again when re-entering a room. This bug must be resolved to get better ratings. more

Actually doesn't even deserve this. Having so much trouble with glitches and the game freezing all the time as soon as someone wins a hand. I spent quite a few bucks on purchases,so I'm losing all of these now. I insist on a refund,since I lost alot of the purchases I made due to glitches and the game freezing. Just fix this please. An update of the game doesn't help at all. Recommending to rather not download this at all. more

Good game and fun to play... when it works. As with many other reviewers, it freezes in tournaments after winning a hand, meaning you have to walk away from the table and lose your chips. I enjoyed it while it lasted, but I won't be reinstalling until the bugs are sorted out. They spoil it. more
Need help from a glitch Jul 7, 2021

By gator#44

I won a 21,000 pot in San Paulo about 10 minutes ago and as soon as the money was coming to me the app shut off. I’ve tried going back at least 10 times and brings me back to tourney but as soon as the money starts coming to me it continues to shut off. I have pics but not sure how to send or get a hold of anyone to get it fixed or give me my 50,000 entry fee back. It has never done this before. It is terrible that computer always catches on the River. If admin see this please reach out to see if can get this fixed. I tried several card games I play and were no glitches, so not my IPad thanks for any assistance. I will be glad to change my review if can be solved more
Good graphics, sucky algorithms. Sep 2, 2019

By Avgeek425

I enjoy this game. The graphics are good. The offline feature is awesome. But the algorithms really need to be improved. The game is basically stacked against you. Doesn’t feel genuinely like a real poker game. It’s almost as if the computer knows your cards. Now I understand if the developers and programmers are over their heads with finding the right algorithms. That’s ok. That’s why other games make more money anyway. But...how about increasing incentives. Like instead of waiting 9 minutes to play the free game, you can increase the rewards and lower the time to keep players more engaged in the game. If you can’t fix the algorithms I think you can increase the rewards side to boost player’s advantage to win and keep them engaged in the game. more
Not terrible, but... Feb 17, 2019

By DJ Sam.r.i

There seems to be a very heavy tilt of unfairness for the NPC. They could have a garbage hand and nothing on the flop, but you have a decent pair. You make a bet serious bet that NO REAL PLAYER would match with the cards their holding and they end up with a 3 of a kind from the next 2 cards. I've lost count of how many times this has happened. It's like the NPCs already KNOW what cards are coming up. Still a fun game if you can pick up on the way the game cheats (because it is consistent) and fold when that happens EVEN IF YOU HAVE A DECENT HAND you still have to fold or you WILL lose. Not sure what algorithm the devs are using, but it is a SERIOUS advantage for the NPCs more
Tell me how Sep 8, 2019

By slbarnett

I love games of skill and learning to play Texas Holden was something I’ve wanted to do. However this game is quiet ridiculous on odds from what I’ve watched on tv. It is really unrealistic how many times I’ve lost when one of the fake players goes all in and I match it and loose when I have three of a kind or two high pair. How likely is it that I would have three aces and the other player will have a straight so often. I call bull #*%&!!! I have never seen other players go all in so often either as these guys. It’s absurd. Impossible to know when they have a good had or not. more
Almost impossible to beat the computer! Aug 12, 2019

By Robbie Hill

I was excited about an offline poker game but I am disappointed in this game. I spent hours paying the same computer avatar no matter what if I raise they folded and they always check no matter what it’s alway a check and then goes all in. Almost every time I would have the best hand and the computer would know that the river card would be take the pot of it it was the flop. I’ve never seen the “luck” that this game gives to the computer in my life playing online poker. Don’t waste your time on this game like I did. more

Pay to Play! Dec 12, 2018

By CrPokeHer

4.3 out of 5? Uh huh. The tournaments aren’t worth playing once you advance. You actually lose money in every tournament you play in no matter what place you take. If you come in scone or third you may as well not even play. Buy in for 40k. Third place gets 7k in a 16 person tournament. Ok. It’s all just a way to get you to buy chips. If the payouts were more realistic there’d be no reason for you to have to pay to keep playing in the tournaments so they keep the prize money low so you end up running out. I refuse to pay for more chips so I end up waiting 4 hours at a time to spin or play free heads up games. I’ve been beaten so many times when the computer only has 1 out, or to 4 card straits or a 4 card flush. It happens way too often in this game to be coincidence. You put your money in with the best hand and more often than not you’re losing. The only way to win these tournaments is to play extremely tight and only bet when you have the nuts. But then the screwed up blind system catches up with you and you’re basically done. Again all a way for them to keep your chips low so you buy more. Waste of time, don’t waste your money by paying. more

App always crashes Jan 17, 2022

By mrsnatklee41

I used to love this app and I played it all the time, until one day I opened the app and it immediately crashed and brought me back to my phone Home Screen. I've tried everything to try and make it not crash. Unfortunately nothing works that I've tried. I know the only way to play again is to uninstall and then reinstall the app, but then you lose all your progress in the game and have to completely start over. There hasn't been an update, atleast for iOS on this app in over a year. If they just fixed bugs and crashes, maybe more people would continue to play it. Highly disappointed. I suggest downloading governor of poker 2 offline. I've been playing that and have had no issues. Really sad that I can't enjoy poker world anymore. To anyone that downloads this don't ever shut your phone off while your mid poker tournament game. That's when it starts crashing all the time. Hope this helps others who are considering playing this app. more
Completely Shameful Nov 2, 2018

By Moxthafox

A smooth, entertaining offline poker game (albeit perhaps a bit strange algorithm design at some points) utterly ruined by blatant attempts of getting its players to pay real-world cash. The Ticket System in the game is a slap in the face to people who simply want a decent offline poker game. There comes a point in the game where it quite literally does not let you play any more poker until you reach for your real world wallet. Once you win a tournament in a certain area, you can’t go back and play it to get more chips or even just play it for fun. On top of that hurdle, they also have areas that you cannot play without having a Ticket, and you can’t take on any bosses without completing the whole area. In short, the game is designed to draw you in for cash, just like 99% of all of these horrible excuses for mobile games nowadays. It’s completely pathetic. Whatever happened to Angry Birds and Plants Vs. Zombies, where you didn’t have to vigilantly wait for ads to pop up every time you do ANY ACTION on the game? It’s a slap in the face. more

I only play offline. Everything is pretty enjoyable and pretty par for the course for a.i. poker. Unfortunately, I can't continue unless I wait a few hours and hope the spin gives me a ticket to play in the tournament or I buy one with real money (which I refuse to do). Be nice if I could go back and just play matches (no buy in, set number of starting chips) even if there is no gain in them. Since it is literally unplayable from this point on, I can't justify giving it better than 1 star. more

App is great but after having it a month it gets stuck when you win a hand. For some reason not everyone's cards are shown at the end of the hand and it just won't load the next sequence. I can touch things on the screen with looking at my profile and stuff, but the next hand won't load, it just gets stuck there. I had the same issue with android and iphone and only way to fix is to uninstall and start all over again from square one. more
Not a free game. Here’s why Sep 4, 2018

By Krosisa

This game is not only free but in a sense a subscription service game. Here’s why 1. The ticket system. In each region, there will be at least one city where you must pay a ticket to play, not the chips you’ve won. Tickets are cash only items. The way the game is designed, if you win a city (get gold) you can not play the city again. So eventually you are stuck in a situation where you can’t play any poker game unless you buy a ticket from the cash shop. The response from the company to that will be there is a free daily challenge system where if you win 10 games, you get a ticket for free. Fair enough. Here’s the catch: you need to wait 4 hours in between each game so even if you are playing on the dot, you can’t play a real poker game (daily challenge is 1:1, not a tournament style) for 40 hours. The game is designed to get you stuck where you have to pay cash to play any more. 2. The ads. The unskippable, long, video ads before every single game. I understand they need to play ads because the game is offered “free” notwithstanding my point above. But the sheer amount of as on this thing was unbelievable. I did pay the money to get rid of the ads - that is before I got stuck in the situation mentioned above with the ticket and ads don’t matter anymore since I can’t play a game without paying more money. Good game, but terrible cash cow design. more
This is a very unrealistic poker game Oct 9, 2021

By McLeod the Highlander

So I play this game enough that I see glaring issues with it in every event game especially with the way the cards are dealt. But the “enough is enough moment” went like this. I’m playing the biggest tournament in the first area. I make it to the final two (by folding everything that doesn’t include a king or ace which is an entirely different problem this game has btw) at that point I lost 17 hands in a row and was knocked out. It was insane. It was like the game wanted me to lose so I would have to pay actual real world money to buy more chips to try and play again. There are several points where you realize this is the case. I believe this game is meant to take advantage of poker addicts and that it’s rigged for you to lose until you pay money. I wouldn’t recommend this game to anyone especially someone who already struggles with making good decisions playing microtransaction games like this. more
Chips Nov 20, 2018

By camdizzle

Loved it at first. Was cruising along, all of the sudden I lose 3 games in a row on unbelievably bad beats on the river and I have 900 chips left and the cheapest tournament I can play is 30,000. I refuse to spend any more real money, it’ll be a month before I can do enough daily challenges or watch 4 ads every 3 days before I can even play another tournament with hopes of getting at least second place to salvage some money. In what world do you lose money if you get 3rd? I mean seriously. The payouts are not nearly high enough compared to the buy in. A very obvious cash grab and it must be working well because they will not change it. I have now deleted the game in search of a more realistic and fair playing experience. P.S offer some type of exhibition or allow old tournaments to be played. Don’t want to shell out 30k in chips every time I feel like playing a game. Hopefully they fix it to stop the exodus of users. Until then I’m moving on. more
