10 Best Premier Casinos in Manila for a Guaranteed Good Time

Before 1976, Manila was rife with illegal gambling and numerous unauthorized casinos throughout the Philippines. The creation of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) in 1976 heralded a new phase of regulated gambling. In 1977, PAGCOR opened its first establishment, Manila Bay Casino, sparking a surge in Manila's casino sector. Most casinos in the area, particularly those near Manila Bay, fall under PAGCOR's oversight and operate as Casino Filipino. The Casino Filipino Pavilion, in the old Holiday Inn Manila Pavilion, is among Manila's most historic casinos. Today, Metropolitan Manila hosts approximately twenty casinos, making it a standout gambling hub.
