“You are now in your hometown San Saba. You want to become the governor of poker, to achieve this goal you have to start by winning every home in San Saba! Take them down city by city, town by town. When you have all of Texas, you have to face your final opponent.”
So you start by buying houses in Texas with the money you initially have. Every house you buy will give you a weekly income. Besides, you have to play poker to win extra money and keep buying houses toward your final goal.
When you are ready to play poker you can sing in to a poker tournament. The first level lets you play in the Bob’s saloon tournament. In this tournament will be playing 8 players. If you win the tournament you’ll be winning 503 dollars which you can use latter to buy new houses.
