Hollywood Poker Review
If there's one great thing about the Web, it lets you get in touch with celebrities. And if Hollywood Poker has one attraction, it's the way it puts you in touch with celebrities who play poker.
...Well, if celebrities include James Woods, Vince Van Patten, Sinjin Smith and Kato Kaelin. Most of the celebrities in the ranks are generally unknown, but are still billed as "Hollywood's finest B-listers." Unlike Celebpoker, Hollywood Poker focuses mostly on American media personalities.
In keeping with its polished silver-screen image, the interface of Hollywood Poker is detailed, attractive, and slick. One good thing about the site is that it has a no-download Java version that allows Mac users or people signed in at guest computers to log in without hassle. This makes Hollywood Poker friendlier across more platforms than a lot of other online poker rooms.
Hollywood Poker Bonus Code
As far as bonuses go, Hollywood Poker has three standard Bonus Packages: a Tournament Package, a $50 package, or a 500% bonus up to $1000 package. There are also a variety of reload and referral bonuses. One special plus is its Royal Money bonus, where you can earn up to $5000 if you manage to get a royal flush.
- Hollywood Poker Bonus Code: HPFREEBONUS
Simply type HPFREEBONUS in the bonus code area to receive your choice of free deposit bonuses.
"Poker Points" are the measure for bonuses. Bonuses are not released until a player meets the right number of Poker Points to avail of a bonus. For example, getting the $50 package means that for every 750 Poker Points you earn, Hollywood Poker will deposit $50 into your account. This actually makes the $50 bonus a wise choice for small to moderate stakes players, while the 500% bonus is good for higher stakes.
Players who avail of the Tournament Package can gain a free ticket to the Michael Woods celebrity invitation tournament. This is a weekly event where you get to play against the site's "celebrities" - well worth the experience, since the designated celebs have the money to back up the bounty.
The site hosts internet poker tournaments everyday at all buy-in ranges. New players can gain access to the new player tournament, which can put them up against mostly inexperienced players. Saturdays are also a good day for jumping in, as there is a $1 buy-in event with a $2500 addition. First prize tourney winner walks away with at least $1000... not bad for a $1 investment. Hollywood Poker also offers satellite tournaments that can gain you entry into the World Poker Tour (WPT).
Depositing can be done either by NETeller or credit card (Visa or Mastercard). Turnaround is from 24-36 hours. The site features Texas Hold'em, Seven Card Stud, Stud 8 or Better, Omaha High, and Omaha 8 or Better. A player can play up to four tables simultaneously.
