Reading Time: < 1 minute

The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) today announced that the local gaming industry’s Gross Gaming Revenues (GGR) grew 37.52% in the third quarter to Php94.61 billion from the Php68.79 billion GGR year-on-year.

The industry’s third quarter growth was driven mainly by the Electronic Gaming sector which increased more than five-fold, generating Php35.71 billion in revenues from last year’s Php6.32 billion.

“The Electronic Gaming sector recorded a phenomenal increase of 464.38% from last year,” said PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco.

“This impressive performance is a strong indication that the use of modern technology and mobile gadgets in gaming and amusement will continue to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of gaming.”

The PAGCOR Chief said he is optimistic that the E-Games sector will continue to flourish as technology increasingly becomes an integral part of people’s lifestyles, including in shopping, gaming and entertainment.

“In fact, by year-end, we expect this sector to generate as much as Php78 billion in license fees alone, substantially contributing to the realization of our Php100 billion revenue target for 2024,” Mr. Tengco said.

The country’s licensed casinos, which remained the biggest contributor to the third quarter GGR, brought in Php50.72 billion despite a 2.27% decline in revenue performance compared to last year’s Php51.90 billion.

Casino Filipino gaming venues operated by PAGCOR brought in Php3.64 billion, 26.32% lower than the 2023 record of Php4.94 billion.

Bingo operations contributed Php4.52 billion to the GGR, also 19.43% lower than the 2023 third quarter revenue of Php5.61 billion.

This amazing six-digit number was the result of a player going on a safari in her (and millions of other players) beloved Mega Moolah progressive slot from Games Global

King Billy Casino, launched in 2017, has had some impressive players wins during the “reign of King Billy”. A few of them include Live Game winnings of €135,223, daily winnings from 2 or more slots of $164,000, and €250,000 won on a single spin. However, the latest win by a King Billy Casino player dwarfs every big win that has come before this. Actually, it’s bigger than all previous big wins combined for the operator!

Because, we are talking about C$3,658,306.

This amazing six-digit number was the result of a player going on a safari in her (and millions of other players) beloved Mega Moolah progressive slot from Games Global. In an autumn, the player stepped into eternal summer by wagering a small C$6,25 bet and winning 562.816 times her bet! This is the power of Mega Moolah, as evidenced at King Billy.

King Billy people had only warm words for the occasion. A representative of the casino has stated: “We are elated, for this huge big win. We can never forget that our first big win, many years back, was more than 200,000 Canadian dollars, so we have special ties with the region. And it’s now amazing to see our VIP-player making such a cashback and echoing that big win! Congratulations to our player”.

A few words about Mega Moolah. It was an Internet sensation when it was launched with its beautiful graphics and sounds, and immersive gameplay and it is a sensation today, still going strong after almost 20 years.
