Hollywood Poker
is part of the
OnGame network which
also hosts the PokerRoom room. This means
that they share
the same software
and players.
PokerRoom is a solid online
poker room, so
naturally we rank
Hollywood Poker highly also. The only difference
that makes PokerRoom
slightly better is
the considerably easier to
obtain sign-up bonus. If you are
a high stakes
player, it may be in
your interest to sign up
with Hollywood over
PokerRoom because
the high bonus will
be easier to obtain.
If you are looking
for a solid first site
to sign up with,
Hollywood Poker is highly
recommended. This is
because of the great
customer support and
solid software that
allows you to easily
see each play made
at the tables which
will allow you
improve your game
due to a better
comprehension of
each action.

Like PokerRoom, Hollywood
Poker has a great graphical
design and layout.
The layout
is uncluttered and provides enough
information for you
to understand how
the game is
progressing, with
soft graphics that
help you keep
engaged in the game.
Hollywood Poker has
the ability to make you enjoy
the game whilst
keeping you focused
on the decisions at
hand. The color scheme is a little dull when compared to the other rooms on the network, but this should not have too much of an effect on your overall online poker experience.
The lobby can be a little difficult to navigate, as the window that displays the list of tables is a little small when compared to other rooms' lobbies. There is a chat box in the center of the lobby that allows players that have logged on to be able to chat amongst one another. However the chat and discussion found in this box is rarely anything but random nonsense. |

| Hollywood Poker
shares its players
with other rooms on
the OnGame network.
This means it has
one of the highest
player volumes in
the non-US industry. The room has one of
the highest volumes
of traffic compared
to other rooms on
the net, which is
more than likely due
to its 'stickability'
factor. After
signing up you will
notice the
difference between
Hollywood Poker and other
rooms, as Hollywood
Poker offers a unique
online poker
experience. |
|
|
|
|
| Because of the
high traffic and
unique playing
experience,
Hollywood Poker is able to
obtain and most
importantly keep
hold of players that
play recreationally.
This results in
looser tables with
players willing to
put their money in
with sub-standard
hands, which can
only mean good
things for the more
experienced players. The fact that the room is home to a few celebrities means that there is an added attraction for the casual players that are looking to bump into a few famous names at the tables. |

| Hollywood Poker offers a very high level of customer support that is quick to respond to any queries that you may have. The customer support staff are friendly and answer all queries very accurately. However, there is no 'live-chat' feature currently available on the site or in the poker room client. |
