PAGCOR regulates the country’s land-based and online gaming industries and runs 13 casinos of its own under the Casino Filipino brand. The Philippines’ state-owned casino operator shrugged off a weaker-than-expected performance in 2013 to predict solid growth for the year ahead.
The forecast is based on expected increases in gaming revenues and regulatory fees and the opening of City of Dreams Manila, the second of four destination-scale casino hotels licensed for a special resort district on Manila Bay called Entertainment City.
