Competition & Traffic

There is plenty of action can at the lowest and higher stakes. Competition isn’t as soft as some other sites, but there is still money to be won here.

Sometimes there are special tournaments organised by invited celebrities. Some of these offer participants the opportunity to earn bounties by eliminating celebrity players or play the celebrity “heads-up”.

Being part of OnGame network provides a constant influx of new players. At peak times there are around 6000 real money players at the cash ring and about 20000 at various tournament tables.

Software

Software can be downloaded and installed on Windows machines, or there is the “no-download” Java version which offers Mac and Linux users ability to play with the same quality as the downloadable version. This also allows you to play from any computer which doesn’t have the software installed. The graphics are good, but there is no customisation, so it can become a bit boring. All features you’d expect are there (history, statistics). The lobby is a bit hard to navigate around, especially if it’s not maximised.

Games Available

Hollywood Poker offers Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo and 7 card stud.

Customer Support

Hollywood Poker offers very good support via live chat, e-mail and telephone, available 24 hours, 7 days. Response is fast, knowledgeable and friendly, answering most questions correctly.
