Hollywood Poker Bonus & Review Guide

Players would do well to choose Hollywood Poker as one of their destinations for online poker.

Hollywood Poker Software

Sharing the same software and tables as Pokerroom, Hollywood Poker is nearly identical to Pokerroom, except the color layout is different. The layout with varying degrees and shades of red is a bit over-the-top and not easy on the eyes. The replacement of the "Pokerroom" chairs with wood-looking saloon style chairs is a nice departure from the Pokerroom theme. The red-felt tables with red-backed cards isn't a good fit. Black cards with a white down-played logo might work better.

There are a number of good features, and a few bad features with Hollywood Poker. They offer both a web-browser and download version of it's software. If you can bring up a web-browser, you can play at Hollywood Poker, including via cellphone. Hollywood Poker [like Pokerroom] is also one of the few online pokersites to support play on Macintosh computers. Hollywood Poker has an interactive environment with a few very nice features. It's player notes feature, which can be tailored to suit your needs, is color-coded. A large text-box gives ample room for player notes. It also has one of the best on-table stat pages in the industry. The ability to turn the avatars off is a plus. Hollywood Poker table menus provide the important "Players seeing the flop" percentiles to help table selection. Players can change the decks into four-color mode.

The software is memory intensive. Players likewise need to sit out in order to access the cashiering services to the table. This can lead to missed hands and a failure to reload prior to the next dealt hand. Sitting out, while there is a waiting list at a table, can see a player taken off the table and his seat given to the next player on the waiting list. Hollywood Poker also has no ability to change the back-color of the cards.

Despite the drawbacks, Hollywood Poker's software is decent and user-friendly.

The Grand

The highly successful Grand Tournament is here to stay. It's runs every month with the Grand Final taking place on the last weekend of each month. This is the biggest tournament held on Hollywood Poker with a prize pool usually in excess of $200,000.

The Grand is played on the last weekend of the month. You can buy-in for $1000+$40 or qualify from as little as $1+$0.10 via the many daily qualifiers.

The Grand is a $1000+$40 buy-in No Limit Texas Hold’em freeze out tournament with starting stacks of 10,000 and blind increases every 30 minutes. The Grand tournaments take place over two days, making this a completely unique event. The way it works is that it starts on the Saturday at 7:00PM GMT and after 6.5 hours the tournament is paused only to regroup on the Sunday at 7:00PM GMT.

There are two routes to qualify for The Grand, either through a four stage SnG route or through a four stage scheduled Multi-Table tournament route.

Both routes have the same buy-in for each of their four stages. The difference between the two routes is that the Multi-table route is scheduled at various times throughout the week and the SnG stages start when enough players have joined.

  • Stage One Qualifiers cost $1+$0.10

  • Stage Two Qualifiers cost $7+$0.70

  • Stage Three Qualifiers cost $30+$3

  • Stage Four Qualifiers cost $120+$10


  • Players may enter the various stages as they see fit, either climbing the ranks from the Stage One, or buying in direct for $1000+$40. It is completely up to the player. Good Luck!

    Quad Aces and Faces Jackpot

    Looking to Boost Your Bankroll?
    All you have to do is play every Wednesday between 3pm EST and 3am EST and if you hit quad aces, kings, queens or jacks on a Texas Hold’em cash game, you could win up to $1000 cash just for being dealt cards. It’s really that easy! If you’re holding one ace or face card and the board makes you quads then you get paid. Plus, if you’re lucky enough to be holding a pocket pair of aces or faces and you make quads by the river, Hollywood Poker will pay you even more! Depending on your game, you could find yourself with between 25x and 100x the big blind, up to a whopping $1000, just for catching quads.

    Here’s how it works:
  • AAAA-JJJJ with one pocket card: pays out 25x the big blind

  • KKKK-JJJJ with both pocket cards: pays out 50x the big blind

  • AAAA with both pocket cards: pays out 100x the big blind


  • Note: The maximum single payout is $1000; although players may win the promotion multiple times during the promotion period.

    Top Set Pay Day

    If you're playing in any cash game of Texas Hold'em on any Monday, Friday or Saturday, keep your eyes open. Between the hours of 3:00PM to 3:00AM EST, your Pocket Aces could be even more valuable than you thought. If they catch another Ace or two on the board, you could win up to $100.

    The prize can be won in all fixed limit, pot limit and no limit Texas Hold'em games. It is equal to 10 times the big blind, up to a maximum payout of $100 per player, per hand. It doesn't stop there though! You can win more than once during the 3pm to 3am EST window so there's no telling how much you could win.

    To cash in, just e-mail support@hollywoodpoker.com with the hand history number. You don't have to win the pot or go to a showdown to claim your prize...just spike that set.

    Piscivorous Discretionary Poker Room Bonus Rating

    Personally, I like OnGame bonuses. Between the inital deposit and the reloads and the fact that they are stackable, this makes for decent bonuses. When I was still allowed to play at OnGame, I tended to make almost double the bonus at the cash game tables just in pure player profit. This always made bonuses there that much sweeter. My personal experiences aside, the Hollywood bonuses are generall decent. Players may tailor their bonus to whatever type they wish. Cannot play a lot but you want access to some good tournament packages? Players can choose between a tournament package or a standard deposit bonus. The clearance rates and expiration times may be the sticking points to an otherwise great cast of bonuses to choose from. The $1,000 bonus at 15x and 60 days may be unattainable except for online pros or players who are playing the highest stakes or buy-ins. The $200 bonus creates it's own problems with a small 30 day clearance window. Overall, however, I might try either one if I get a chance in the future.
