Hollywood Poker review
Hollywood Poker is supposedly the online poker room where the stars play. The room is endorsed by celebrities indeed, but the real attraction consists in the special promotions that run and in the celebrity invitational events which do indeed have some of Hollywood’s most famous playing at Hollywood Poker.
A member of the Ongame network, Hollywood Poker has no traffic issues whatsoever. It draws from the network-wide traffic provided by Ongame, and that means it’ll get around 9,000 players at its cash game tables at peak hours and around 45,000 players at its tournament tables.
The Ongame software provides excellent playability, smooth, crisp graphics and nice animations. Multi tabling is supported and made easy via the introduction of resizable tables and mini views. 12 tables can be played simultaneously and there are no performance issues as long as one uses a relatively modern computer. Among the special features offered I have to mention the session browser and the action replay features.
The lobby is solidly put together and easy to navigate.
Hollywood Poker knocked the ball right out of the park with its sign-up bonus feature. There are no fewer than 8 different sign-up bonus options players can choose from, depending on their projected play volume and level of proficiency.
The smallest of these bonuses is the greenhorn which is aimed at beginners. This one is a 100% match bonus, up to $50, and it takes 400 poker points to redeem.
The largest bonus offered by Hollywood poker is the professional player bonus, which is a 100% match and which takes 100,000 poker points to unlock. All these bonuses are unlocked in set increments.
