A Seven-Deep Waitlist for Five-Card PLO in Hollywood, Florida

There's exactly one five-card PLO game in America with a seven-deep waitlist right now, and it's a $10/$10 game at Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood.

One table. Seven names waiting. A 7:1 ratio — meaning for every seat in play, seven more players want in.

One table, seven names waiting, and a 7:1 ratio that no other five-card PLO listing in the country can match.

The Game Nobody Else Is Spreading

Five-card PLO is not a game most card rooms bother with. It's too niche for smaller venues, too action-heavy for conservative floor managers, and too far from the Hold'em-and-Omaha core that pays the lights. Across the entire Bravo national dataset as of the 9 p.m. ET snapshot on May 20, Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood's $10/$10 five-card PLO listing is the only one showing a waitlist surge of this magnitude.

The median waitlist for this game sits at 1. The actual waitlist: 7. That's not a rounding error — it's a room full of players who showed up specifically for a game that barely exists anywhere else on the map.

Why Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood

Hollywood, Florida, has built a reputation as one of the highest-action poker rooms on the East Coast. The Seminole Hard Rock property runs deep mixed-game and PLO lineups that most rooms outside of Las Vegas can't sustain. A $10/$10 five-card PLO table requires a specific player pool: people who want more cards, more action, and bigger swings than standard four-card PLO delivers.

That player pool apparently exists in South Florida — and it's deeper than the room can currently seat.

What the Ratio Tells You

A 7:1 waitlist-to-table ratio means demand is outpacing supply by a factor most cash games never hit. For context, a popular $1/$3 No-Limit Hold'em game at a busy Vegas room might run a 3:1 or 4:1 ratio on a peak evening. A 7:1 ratio on a single exotic-game table signals that either a second table is imminent, or those seven players are settling in for a long wait.

The Seminole Hard Rock floor will sort that out. The data just confirms what any rail bird in Hollywood already knows: five-card PLO has a home, and the demand isn't shrinking.
