Like the Quick Poker mode, the campaign mode also features three difficulty settings. The other main mode is a sort of campaign mode, in which you challenge various poker houses in towns across Texas to build your fortune and conquer the whole state… to become governor, I guess. You can choose between a four- and eight-player table, and there are three difficulty settings.
