The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation announced on Thursday that it is set to launch its own online casino, dubbed as “casinofilipino.com”, in the first quarter of 2024.
In a keynote address during the opening ceremony of the SiGMA Asia Summit 2023 in Manila, PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco explained that the online Casino Filipino aims to employ “virtual reality-based” technology that can simulate the sights and sounds of a physical casino, thereby offering a realistic and immersive gaming experience.
“It will allow players to interact with the digital counterparts of traditional casino games. It will also transcend physical boundaries and will enable users from around the world to interact and participate in virtual environments. It can reach a global audience and can establish a presence in virtual communities of avid gamers. It will likewise offer an opportunity to tap into new markets and diversify its customer base,” noted Tengco.
The PAGCOR chief added that the online Casino Filipino will “bring several benefits and opportunities such as increased revenue, extended reach and market expansion, cost efficiency, and enhanced customer engagement.”
