PH GAMING INDUSTRY RECORDS PHP104.12B GGR IN 1ST QUARTER 2025

This surge marks a critical turning point in the sector with electronic gaming now leading revenue generation, said PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco.
“The E-Games and E-Bingo segment made history by becoming the industry’s top revenue driver for the first time, contributing Php51.39 billion or 49.36% of the total first quarter GGR,†he said.
“This represents not just revenue growth but how consumer behavior continues to shift towards digital, on-demand gaming experiences, accelerated by greater access to mobile technology,†he added.
The PAGCOR chief also noted that the rise of the E-Games industry has drastically reshaped the Philippine gaming landscape.
“As digital platforms take center stage, the Philippine gaming industry is likewise undergoing a paradigm shift. Hence, our goal as a regulator is to strike the right balance between innovation, player protection and long-term industry sustainability,â€Â he said.
Licensed casinos, which have historically dominated the GGR landscape, generated Php49.28 billion, accounting for 47.32% of the industry’s total.
“While there was a minimal dip in revenues from licensed casinos compared to last year’s figures due to growing digital competition, this segment shows sustained strength and relevance,†Chairman Tengco said.
“The performance of brick-and-mortar casinos remains critical to industry stability, particularly in tourism-driven hubs such as Entertainment City and Clark.â€
Meanwhile, PAGCOR-operated casinos generated Php3.45 billion in revenues, making up 3.31% of the GGR.
