Hollywood Park Casino

Hollywood Park is a multi-purpose entertainment and gambling venue in Inglewood, California. The Hollywood Park poker room competes with the site’s casino and racecourse to offer excellent action. The poker room spreads well in excess of 50 poker tables. TV poker personality Norman Chad is one of many celebrities to call Hollywood Park home. Chad fans (or haters!) are often able to exchange a few words with him during tournament breaks.

Celebrity spotting is just a minor part of the Hollywood Park poker offering. The room makes use of its many tables well with a variety of different games offered to players. No-limit hold’em remains the top dog, although limit hold’em, Omaha eight-or-better, seven-card stud, stud eight-or-better, and mixed games are beginning to compete for this honor. Stakes rise as high as $40-$80, but the Hollywood Park poker room is extremely accommodating to newcomers. Staff members are always willing to explain the rules of the game, while the Hollywood Park website provides this information in simple written form.

The Hollywood Park poker room can be relied upon for high guarantees in its tournaments. There is always a pool worth fighting for, as proven by $200,000 guaranteed for every month of daily tournaments. Friday nights form the centerpiece of this total in the $12,000 Friday Night Challenge, which runs on the first two weeks of the month. Tournaments are hand-shuffled, while cash games are accelerated by automatic Shufflemaster machines. In cash-game play, all $10-$20 and higher players have access to the full food menu for a $2 flat rate. Lower-limit players can earn comps to trade for a similar range of meal options.
