The gaming facility was allowed to reopen this week after agreeing to implement tighter security and safety measures, regulator Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (Pagcor) said.
The operator's license had been suspended after an armed attacker set fire to gambling rooms claiming the lives of 37 people.
““Government was losing USD 280,000 in revenue for each day the casino was closed.
”
"RWM passed the Pagcor inspection that recognised how the enhancements and new emergency, safety and security protocols have been fortified since the June 2, 2017 incident," the casino firm said in a statement.
““Philippine lawmakers have slammed the casino management for allegedly lax security at the complex.
”
Police and fire officials have yet to determine whether the casino had failed to meet relevant security standards, but Pagcor assistant vice-president Carmelita Valdez said the ongoing investigations would not be affected by the reopening.
A widely circulated security video showed the attacker easily gaining entry into the complex despite having an assault rifle.
