Hollywood Poker is part of the Ongame network and is endorsed by Vince Van Patten (WPT commentator) as well as actor and famous poker player James Woods. Hollywood Poker does NOT currently accept U.S. players although traffic is still brisk because of their large poker prize money guarantees, sign-up bonuses, high profile players and Mac compatibly.

Software / Graphics : Hollywood Pokers graphics are generally pretty good and offer some unique features like being able to make the table full screen. The software runs smoothly most of the time and can handle play on up to 4 simultaneous tables. The Hollywood Poker software allows you to make detailed notes on other players and will even allow you to tag then with a coloured button for easy identification later. Hollywood Poker also offers a Mac compatible version of their software that does not require any download.

Player Traffic : Although Hollywood Poker no longer accepts U.S. players, they still attract almost 10,000 ring game players and almost 50,000 tournament players at peak times. You can usually find a good number of full tables right up to the higher limits and tournaments are usually busy.

Tournaments : The Hollywood Poker tournament schedule has suffered a little with the loss of U.S. players although you still won't have to wait long to enter a game at your preferred price range. They currently guarantee $15 million in monthly tournament prizes.

Game Variety : Texas Holdem, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, Seven-Card Stud, Seven-Card Stud Hi-Lo, and Five-Card Draw. Players can choose from No Limit, Pot Limit, and Fixed Limit versions of most available games.

Level of Competition : Low limit games can be very loose while the higher limit games tend to be a bit tighter. Some inexperienced players are attracted by the Hollywood celebrity factor so there are juicy games to be found if you don't go too far up the stakes and check out the stats.

Bonus/Promotions : Hollywood Poker really excels in the bonus department offering a choice for all players, from a massive 1000% up to $5000 bonus to a 200% up to $50 bonus and others in between. The most important thing is to choose the deposit bonus option that best suits your bankroll and amount of play.
