The Philippine integrated resort casino revenue H1 2025 reached USD 1.73 billion, according to PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Alejandro Tengco. He announced the figure during a Senate hearing on July 25, highlighting the strong performance of casinos inside the country’s integrated resorts.
This GGR contribution came entirely from commercial casinos operating inside integrated resorts. Notably, Entertainment City accounted for most of the revenue, bringing in nearly USD 1.51 billion. Clark casinos followed, generating approximately USD 181.6 million. Meanwhile, Thunderbird Resorts in Rizal and La Union contributed USD 39.6 million.
During his presentation, Tengco shared that integrated resorts drove 81.6% of the Philippines’ total GGR from January to June 2025. This dominance highlighted how crucial these properties remain to the country’s casino sector.
Despite the strength of integrated resorts, the broader casino industry also saw contributions from PAGCOR-operated venues. State-run casinos under the Casino Filipino brand reported USD 273.1 million in GGR during the same period. These locations include the Tagaytay, Angeles, and Cebu branches, among others.
Overall, the Philippine gaming market posted USD 2.12 billion in GGR for the first half of 2025. Tengco noted this reflects the growing demand for gaming and entertainment across the country.
He also reaffirmed PAGCOR’s intention to privatize its Casino Filipino operations. The agency expects to proceed with the bidding process for its land-based casinos by early 2026.
