Summary (Rated 7 out of 10)
Being around since 2004, Hollywood Poker has established themselves as one of the premier poker rooms on the OnGame Network. The key to their success? Perhaps it was their endorsements from celebrities such as James Woods and Vince Van Patten of World Poker Tour fame, their wide tournament availability, or their unique bonus scheme which allows you to choose the bonus to your own requirements. Overall, Hollywood Poker is a solid site to play on, with large traffic and various promotions to increase your profitability.

Game Selection (Rated 8 out of 10)
Hollywood Poker offers a ton of game options including Limit/PL/NL Hold'em, Limit/PL/NL Omaha, Limit/PL/NL Omaha Hi/Lo, 7 Card Stud, 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo, and 5 Card Draw! The table sizes are available in full ring (10-handed), 5-max, or Heads-up. The 5-max is an unorthodox choice as most other sites tend to offer 6-max, however you can create your own public or private tables at Hollywood, so you can always make your own 6-max table if you can't stand the 5-max tables.
For Sit'n'Goes, Hollywood Poker offers some very unique games, such as the MAD TILT ALL-IN SNG's where you get 60 chips and blinds start at 10/20! They also offer multi-tabe SNGs, Turbo SNGs, Heads-up SNGs and some qualifiers to bigger tournaments.
They run a wide range of tournaments to suit everyone's needs from guaranteed prize pool tournaments to Short-handed or Re-buy tournaments. Some special tournaments also exist such as the Michael Woods Invitational where you will receive a bounty prize for knocking out the participating celebrities!
What makes Hollywood Poker even more special is the option to open Private tables, customized to your own requirements (such as number of players, blind levels, prize structure, re-buy options etc).
If you're the casino gambling type, Roulette and Blackjack tables are also available.

Quality of Players (Rated 5 out of 10)
There are a diverse range of players in the network. There are the regular money makers who play solid poker, and also a lot of fish that probably learned how to play cards by watching Celebrity Poker Showdown. Overall, especially at the lower levels, you will see a lot of chips being thrown around. Perhaps it's the Scandinavian influence (OnGame Network advertises heavily in Scandinavia), but a lot of players tend to play Loose-Aggressive. Therefore, tighten up! The players are by all means beatable if you know how to adjust (which is tight in this case). And don't be too scared of their min-re-raises!
back to top
Software (Rated 6 out of 10)
Hollywood Poker definitely does not have the best software around. The most annoying feature is the fact that you must sit out to reload your chips, meaning that occasionally you end up missing hands (and if you were next to be blinds, you'd miss a whole round). Note that the 'sit out to reload' issue is slated to be fixed by June 2009.
Furthermore, the cashier, the tournament details and a lot of other important information must be viewed from your internet browser, rather than a new window within the software. This can cause a lot of inconvenience while playing.
On the upside, you can play poker without having to download the software. The Java Platform the online version runs on is just as smooth, and replicates the software to its every detail. If you are on the go and tend to use a computer other than yours a lot, Hollywood Poker is definitely the place you want to be playing at.
Furthermore you can view your statistics as the software keeps track of all your hands in a database (not available in the no-download version), and create private tables.
back to top
Graphics (Rated 7 out of 10)
The software has a very nice clean view, and you can see where the action is very clearly.
Hollywood Poker has an excellent mini-view feature. Although it is hard to find, press the small icon on the bottom right corner of the tables to toggle the mini-view on/off. It is definitely one of the nicest mini-views around (to see ugly, go to any Microgaming site).
As for the avatars, if you have played in any other OnGame network sites, you will realize that the avatars are unique. They can be distracting at first but you’ll get used to them and won't realize they are there after a while.
Some players will not like the red color scheme of the graphics. It can start to hurt your eyes when you play too much. Nonetheless, the upsides of the software graphics and the outstanding mini-view outweigh the downsides such as the color scheme and the avatars.
back to top
Profitability (Rated 8 out of 10)
There are eight options to choose from for the initial deposit bonus. Depending on your bankroll, and the amount of time you will play on the site, you can choose different bonuses.
For example, the lowest of the bonuses is $50 plus entry to a few freeroll tournaments and clubHOLLYWOODpoker Bronze Players' Club Rewards Membership. The bonus amount is small, but you only need to earn 8 Poker Points per bonus dollar, which is paid in $5 increments. The largest bonus is $5000 plus access to the new player freerolls and clubHOLLYWOODpoker Titanium Players' Club Rewards Membership. It sounds great, but you need 20 Poker Points per bonus dollar, and you only have 90 days to clear it and it is paid out in $1700 increments. If you are a high stakes player and expect to stay at Hollywood Poker for a while, the largest bonus is the way to go. Otherwise, pick what you deem clearable.
Hollywood Poker doesn't offer reload deposit bonuses, but you can use the Poker Points to buy a bonus. Hence if you play at a certain level, you can continuously clear the bonus and then buy a new one with the points earned, so you will always be clearing a bonus!
Hollywood Poker also offers additional promotions such as Happy Hours four times a week. On Mondays, it's the Top Set Payday, where if you hit a set of Aces, you can win 10 times the big blind up to $100. On Wednesdays, it is Quad Aces & Faces. Hit quad Aces/Kings/Queens/Jacks and win between 25x to 100x the big blind, up to $1000. Finally, on Saturdays and Sundays it is the Flush Frenzy. Catch an Ace High flush to win 5x the big blind, a Straight flush to win 50x the big blind, or a Royal flush to win 150x the big blind!
Playing at these happy hours will definitely help boost your bankroll!

I add one star more because its easy to earn savvy points there. But I really hate ongame network. I'ts so many badbeats,suckouts and runner runners on the river. It's really hard to win with premium hands coz there are many donks who are calling with any two and they flopping two pairs, sets etc. Soft its also terrible. I cannot play more than 4 tables because when I open 5th,6th my computer can't work with this awful ongame soft. Profitability is not good too. They offering standard bonus 8points for 1$. I can't honestly reccomend this room. Only positive thing is that u can earn 200 points very fast and get some savvy points for it.

Hollywood (alongside with the other OnGame network sites) has very soft limit games, at least in the .5/1 to 3/6 limits, the software is either horrible or great depending on your tastes. The deposit bonus ain't too hard to clear so it's cool.

Hollywood poker is one of various Ongame network skins so there are plenty of games going on all around the clock. On top of usual ongame tournaments HP hosts various celeb tournaments with bounty prizes on celeb heads. So far it all seems good. When you start playing you will probably rather quickly notice that there's something wrong with the software. Layouts are ok and minitables are available but the client is SLOW. I was experiencing problems running even 3-4 tables at the same time. Also there are some horrible small glitches that can ruin your impressions. For example ring game players need to sit out to reload their stacks. Overall the site itself is nice, too bad the network software has some severe issues.

Despite the fact that the ongame software is really awful and didn't allowed to play more than 4-5 tables, the hollywood poker bonus is quite easy to clear even in the lower limits. Competition is average and as everywhere on ongame you will find a lot of player at all time in different games. Additionally ongame is one the last places you can play limit omaha with a lot of players

I really loved playing at Hollywood poker. They have nice game selection (normal ongame+some own tourney's) I really loved their bonus system that added value of this bonus, especially worth playing were the days when there was quad promotions going on. Those give nice little boost to roll when they hit. Also the sng's with some star players are nice cause most of the stars are fishes, and other players playing with the stars chat with stars and forget to play :).
Other thing nice was their great welcome freerolls and bigger added value tournaments. This is a great site and the bonus was quite easy to do. I played at levels nl10 to nl25 and it took me about 30h total multitabling and playing some sng's and tournaments.

I played NL50 short handed at Hollywood Poker. There are a lot of tables to play at and a lot of bad players! But those pesky card chasers sometimes do hit their 2 outer on the river!
The software is okay, but some major functions like table resizing, global waiting lists and themes are missing.
One good thing is, that you can log your hands with Pokertracker.

Only couple of hundred points more and I'll get 100$ from the 100% sign in bonus as well, so while playing sit 'n go's it was like having 100% rakeback or so :)
Great bonus at least for anyone playing tourneys, since Ongame has so many players.

Hello,
This room wasn't as easy I thought it was going to be. Hollywood Points are accumulated more slowly on this site than others. If you are a loose player - there are many just like you to take money off on! The software looks good and it's easy to use. One downside to Hollywood is that you can't see your FPP's at the table - you have to log out and view it through your internet browser. Personally I didn't like that, but that's my opinion. I didn't have any problem with registration or deposit or withdrawals - everything worked fine.
I recommend this room to all!

The look of the software is horrible, but look is not everything and so is the software really good: multitabling, cascading and a fast software.
First i played NL $10, on this limit you need to play about 10k hands to achieve the bonus, after 2,000 hands I had the bankroll for NL $50 and on this limit the bonus is very fast to clear. Many tables and opponents on every limit at every time with weak players, so your bankroll will have a huge boost.
Easy bonus - absolutely recommendable.
Quiet hard to clear

That bonus is not the easiest pick for micro-limit-players, as you have to contribute in order to get points.
I really disliked the software, but that's a personal thing as I don't like non-resizable tables which is common in the OnGame Network.
Had to fight some days to clear the SavvyPoint requirements and had a bad run which cost me some dollars. Nevertheless, the hard effort was sweetened with 900 Points.
There are definitely easier bonuses to clear, but if you like to play min. $50 shorthanded, Hollywood Poker is definitely a good choice.

I played Hold'em Poker on Hollywood. This bonus wasn't the easiest, since it requires a decent rake to earn FPPs. However,this is a great poker site with a lot of aggresive, weak players who like to bet and can't fold!. I took several bad beats, but when I added the Savvy Bonus and the Deposit bonus from Hollywood - I finished up a lot of money! Hurry up and get this bonus + savvy points!

I played fixed limit holdem here at the blind levels of 0.5/1 and 1/2 (short and full). Hollywood Poker is a part of the Ongame-network.
Pros:
-Soft games in the evenings and nightime. Made profit here.
-Lot of players -> lot of tables to choose from
Cons:
-Software was annoying and table selection made ankward.
Summary: Software wasn´t the best but the most important thing, poor quality players, was there.

This site was really nice to play at. I liked the graphics and the skill level of the other players was not that high. To achieve the bonus you have to pay a lot of rake, but once you get started you'll get there sooner than you think. Hollywood Poker has a professional image and although the bonus is hard to get, it pays to play there!

Honestly, I thought the Hollywood Poker software sucked. I didn't like it at all because, for example, when you need to buy-in for more chips at a cash table, you must sit-out and will probably miss a hand (or more if you are seated in the blinds.) When it comes to the lobby, it's slow and I personally don't like the waiting list system. But, the competition is VERY weak and that's why I gave them four stars.

Hollywood Poker is on the OnGame Network along with sites like PokerRoom and uses the same software. So, there are always enough players and tables to play at. I would say that the skill level of the players there is low to average and you can make a good profit playing there. Earning the points to clear the bonus took me awhile, but maybe because of my the small stakes I was playing at. So, all in all a good poker room that is worth playing at.

I like the OnGame Network. It's the same network used by Prime Poker. Prime Poker was the first poker room I ever played at. They have lots of players from Finland. I like to play there, because I'm from Finland and there were lots of friends there. I lost $90 so it's not my all time favorite place. Their lobby was simple and easy to read. Players are very good at this site. It's nice when you get to play with some Hollywood star. Well, see ya' all at the tables. If you see me, come say hello!

The OnGame software is pretty resource intensive and playing more than four tables at a time is not very good idea. If you only play one or two tables it should be no problem though. I made my deposit by Visa and I had to cash my money out by check. They didn't accept any other withdrawal methods like wire transfer, Moneybookers or NETeller, not even back to Visa unless it was for the amount of my initial deposit. Overall, the site is as good as any. There were no other problems.
Great bonus!

Hollywood Poker offers one of the easiest bonuses I've ever seen. I played $30 and $50 Sit'n'Goes and reached 1,200 Hollywood VIP Points in about 15 hours. You can play with "Celebs" if you want, but they play very tight, so you might be better off joining the fish that play in the Sit'n'Goes. All in all, I made about $800 in profit playing through the requirements of this bonus. My NETeller withdrawal took about three days to process, that might have been the only bad thing about Hollywood Poker.
Bad software, bad players, difficult bonus...

First of all, I really dislike the software. The look of it is awful. With such big tables, I had overlay windows when playing four tables at once and they are not resizeble, you can only choose big or small table views. When the small-view is used you can't change any options, so this sucks. You have to switch to big-view again to change your options. Another disadvantage happens when you want to re-buy your stack to the max. You have to logout and click on cashier, so when you are too late you miss the next hand. Strange... A big advantage of this bonus are the players located at Hollywood Poker. The competition is bad. Lot of bad players that donk off their stacks with marginal hands. To get the PokerSavvy bonus you have to multi-table four tables for around 12 hours at the $0.15/$0.25 no-limit tables. So, it is not an easy bonus.

The Hollywood Poker software runs good and is well laid out. You can chose between no-limit, pot-limit and fixed-limit Hold'em, Seven Card Stud High or High/Low, pot-limit and fixed-limit Omaha High and High/Low and fixed-limit Five Card Draw. There are a lot of players at the cash game tables as well as in the tournaments. There are limits from small to big. The rake structure is like many other poker rooms... no flop, no drop. What's really great about Hollywood Poker is that they give partial VIP Points, so you earn points faster. On the whole, Hollywood Poker leaves a good impression. See you at the tables!

Well, I cannot really complain since I won a lot of money at this site. But still, I didn't like the software, it crashed a few times. The support was strange, every time I spoke to a staff member I got different information. They didn't seem to know how they're own bonus system worked. I only played tournaments and Sit'n'Goes with a $5 buy-in. Like that, it took a couple of days to get the required points for the SavvyPoints bonus. But, I figured it would be the fastest way for me and it worked pretty well. Especially with their Turbo Sit'n'Goes and Mad-Tilt All-In's, which were quite interesting. I really didn't like the lack of filtering opportunities in their lobby!

Very nice graphics and a great deposit bonus! You can get an iPod Nano! Also, you will get many SavvyPoints for this sign-up!
Good bonuses after your deposit bonus...

Hollywood Poker is probably the best OnGame site regarding ongoing bonuses. I have played not only the deposit bonus, but they have also sent me by email two good reload bonuses. Moreover, they have great happy hour bonuses where you receive extra money for top set or quads from Jacks to Aces. The money transfers have been okay. The point system and VIP levels do not give you that much. You should play at Hollywood Poker quite a bit, at least enough to get a free t-shirt, for example.
Great Design!

Hollywood Poker was a very good poker room, the software was very good, it didn't disconnect even one time. There where enough poker games to play and there was always some empty tables. Some players were loose and others played tight, so every game was different. Very nice to play here!
Too short tables?

I completed the Hollywood Poker PokerSavvy bonus playing only pot-limit Omaha $0.25/$0.25 tables, two to three tables at time. The Hollywood Points were quite easy to get, but tables tended to be too short-handed for my taste (5 players maximum.) When you are playing pot-limit Omaha with a relatively small bankroll, short-handed tables are quite challenging because of common outdraws. In addition to that, during the hours I played there were lots of Finnish players there, too. I dislike playing with Finns because I am one, but anyway... This is an easy bonus and you get lots of SavvyPoints! Now I finally get PokerTracker and PokerAce HUD. Thank you, PokerSavvy!
What I think Hollywood Poker...

Hollywood Poker is part of the OnGame Network and I have to say the same thing I've said about all OnGame sites. The client takes up a lot of system resources when you play a lot of tables at once, which sucks if you have an older computer. They do have mini-view tables, but PokerOffice is not supported when you play using the mini-view tables. There is a bug at OnGame Network sites which suddenly closes your open tables without any reason. The points are hard to collect playing $25 max buy-in no-limit Hold'em, but this bonus is great for Sit'n'Go players!

Just wanted to say that Hollywood Poker's bonus is not the easiest one to clear, but still very rewarding combined with Hollywood Poker's own bonuses.
Easy to earn points, but not a good bonus system...

The Hollywood Poker Points are easy to earn, especially by playing Sit'n'Goes and tournaments. For every dollar paid in tournament fees you get 5 points. The players at the site are not very good, so it's easy money when you play there. The only problem is that you can't do much with your points. You can buy some reload bonuses and some money bonuses, but that's it.

The requirements to earn SavvyPoints were easily cleared playing $50 max buy-in no-limit Texas Hold'em. Their sign-up bonus, on the other hand, is relatively hard to complete, especially the larger ones. Software wasn't one of the best, multi-tabling was particularly difficult as it was hard to see when it was your turn to act at the tables. The competition was somewhat easy. I definitely recommend getting the SavvyPoints bonus from Hollywood Poker!
Mission Complete!

I like the software very much and people was very friendly but also very hard to beat. 300 points was easy to generate but Hollywood's own bonus is very hard to finish. That's why they only get four stars.

The table layout was terrible, and didn't have mini-tables. But, even so, the players there were the easiest I ever played against and the bonus was pretty easy to finish.
Good layout, good games...

Hollywood Poker has one of the nicest website layouts of the poker sites I've tried, in my opinion. The games are good, with lots of loose money, at least on the micro levels. Also, it is always nice to beat a Hollywood celebrity in a tournament rather than just a random player. The software is quite good now that they added a mini-view table layout, though it might slow down your system quite a lot when multi-tabling over 4 tables at once. Still, I totally recommend playing at Hollywood Poker!

Hollywood Poker has a lot of players, a big deposit bonus, their payments are fast, and they have nice tournaments. On the downside the bonus is hard clear, their software is ugly and the sound effects are terrible!
Mediocre, but worth 900 SavvyPoints!

I didn't like the Hollywood Poker site at all. I have had my worst times at poker ay OnGame network sites, but still like to play there. Hollywood's software is different from others, and it's not that attractive. The bonus is semi-hard to clear, I gave it up myself. At $100 max buy-in no-limit Hold'em it would be okay to try and clear it. It took me five days to get 300 Poker Points, the tables I played at were mostly tight so that made it difficult. For a $50 max buy-in player, this is a decent site for 900 SavvyPoints, but for lower stakes players it might be below that rating.
Good place!

One of the best deposit bonuses available right now, 200% up to $200 and $1 of bonus is earned for every 6 Hollywood Points you earn. The software is nice and easy to use. Lot's of players!
Not a good bonus system.

Hollywood uses the PokerRoom software client, however the design of the tables and the bonus system is different. You need quite a lot of loyalty points to buy tickets for the better freeroll tournaments.
A good experience.

Hollywood Poker was pretty easy to clear, plus there's five different first deposit bonuses to choose from. Nifty. Plenty of fishes, but I wasn't overly keen on the software and huge windows. Nothing special, definitely worth the SavvyPoints though!
Easy SavvyPoints, Great Bonus!

The SavvyPoints bonus requirements are very easy to fulfill. It took me only 5 days playing at $0.10/$0.20 no-limit tables. The players at these tables play loose and I ended up $200 ahead. Afterwards, I switched to $0.50/$1 and $1/$2. The players at these tables are better than at the lower-stakes tables, and I was now $250 down. I had some problems when I tried to play more than one table, it was very slow. They have the best first deposit bonus of any site on the OnGame network, just 6 points per $1 in bonus money. There are rooms with 10 points per $1 in bonus money. I definitely recommend Hollywood Poker and this SavvyPoints bonus!
Good site, good bonus, but horrible colors!

Hollywood Poker is one of the best OnGame network sites. Their bonus is cleared in installments as well, plus you have five different deposit bonuses to choose from. I suggest you take the smallest bonus so you can clear it quicker. The points you earn are actually useful at Hollywood Poker, you can use them in their shop to buy more bonuses. Their VIP program is also very good! It'll get you into lots of exclusive freeroll tournaments. The only downside is their horrible color scheme! The red felt on the tables makes it hard on the eyes!
A nightmare!!!

Can you believe people can call you when you raise with AK and get called by a player, another and another one?!! That's the way it is at Hollywood Poker, "Fish Land", they call it!!! I don't like too many fish when playing limit poker cause I've gotten too many bad beats! They don't care about cards, they'll bust you out with a crazy two-pair with a hand like Q2o and you don't know how they can call you with this kind of hand but then actually hit their miracle flop and earn some money! I would say you shouldn't play at this poker room cause there are too many bad beats! I know some people will tell me to stop playing, you're not good enough, but go over here and you will see!
OnGame FTW!

This is just like the other OnGame sites, which means it's a very easy to clear bonus!!!
