Cindy Margolis is into poker.
Within the last several months, Margolis has launched her own online poker room, teamed up with professional poker player Cyndy Violette to pitch a reality TV show, become the face of the World Poker Tour's official online community, Chipleaders, and opened a Los Angeles night club with her husband, Guy.
Oh, and she just expanded her business team by adding Poker Royalty, a marketing and player representative agency that specializes in poker business. As if she needed any more help.
Margolis must have the energy level of a Kenyan marathon runner and brains that rival those of any marketing guru. She was one of the first people to take advantage of the power of the Internet by building a site featuring none other than herself. Thanks to her good looks and the nature of curious men, she became one of the most downloaded women in the short history of the Internet.
The poker boom and the country's renewed fascination with Las Vegas have been good for her. In February alone, she played host at four different Vegas parties, including the grand opening of Hooters Casino Hotel.
On Feb. 18, she helped her husband open their own nightclub in California called Guy's North. The grand opening also doubled as a celebration of the launch of her online poker room, CindysPoker.com, and featured such guests as Mike "The Mouth" Matusow and Violette.
Her poker room came online in January. She partnered with Mercury Sports N.V. and the software was created by Full House Entertainment. Her username at the site is "CindyM."
She's using her spokeswoman's skills on her site. When players pull CindysPoker.com up, a video of her automatically starts explaining just what can be found there. She also takes this time to reiterate that the Guinness Book of World Records named her the "Most Downloaded Woman."
Violette and Margolis teamed up in December to shop around a reality TV show called "House Rules," which would find the hottest home poker night in the country. The players in that game would have a chance to play in a big event. The show hasn't had any takers yet.
And in December, Margolis became the "host" of Chipleaders, the WPT's official online community. Visitors to WPT's web page can link directly to Chipleaders, where Margolis's face is just about the first thing people see. She is a member of Chipleaders and maintains a profile page at the site.
In fact, it might be hard to find someone in America who has never seen Margolis, either intentionally or unintentionally. She's appeared in many TV shows and movies, including Mad TV, Ally McBeal, The Howard Stern Radio Show, Suddenly Susan, and Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery.
In all those listed except Austin Powers, she played herself. In Austin Powers, she was a fembot.
Then again, she's made millions playing herself. Only time will tell if poker players will find her online room as attractive as she is.
