Hollywood Poker

Hollywood Poker

HollywoodPoker.com is an online poker site endorsed by Hollywood celebrities James Woods and Vince Van Patten.

Featuring both free play and real money games, Hollywood Poker offers Limit and No Limit Texas Holdem, Omaha (and Hi/Lo), 7 Card Stud (and Hi/Lo), and 5 Card Draw.

Tournaments are available in single table or multi-table formats. Satellites to major poker events like the World Series of Poker or the World Poker Tour are also offered.

The site's main feature is that it allows players the chance to play with celebrities, mostly actors and comedians. [ [http://www.askmen.com/poker/poker_interviews/5c_james_woods_interview.html Askmen.com: Interview With James Woods] ] Celebrities periodically host special tournaments, some of which offer participants the opportunity to earn bounties by eliminating celebrity players. Players are also afforded the opportunity, by exchanging points obtained through playing on the site, to play the celebrity of the player's choice "heads up."

In 2006 the site began publishing an annual calendar, featuring "the girls of Hollywood Poker." Calendar models are afforded celebrity status on the site. Players are able to vote for their "favourite" girls and the top 12 make it to the actual calendar.

As of October 2006, the Ongame Network of which Hollywood Poker is a part stopped taking bets from United States players in compliance with the Safe Port Act.

In November 2006 the site began offering casino games, including blackjack, craps, pai gow poker, roulette and others.
