The Philippine gaming industry saw gross gaming revenues fall by 20.3% to Php88.1 billion (US$1.45 billion) in the three months to 30 June 2026, with regulator PAGCOR citing weaker revenues from the electronic gaming segment alongside factors like renewed tensions in the Middle East.
However, the land-based sector showed small signs of improvement, with GGR from licensed casinos rising 2.9% year-on-year and 1.9% quarter-on-quarter to Php45.4 billion (US$474 million). This included a 2.7% year-on-year increase in GGR from casinos in Entertainment City: City of Dreams Manila, Newport World Resorts, Okada Manila and Solaire Resort.
According to data released Monday, licensed casinos accounted for 51.5% of total GGR across the Philippines in Q2, while the electronic gaming sector – comprising E-Games, E-Bingo, bingo and poker – accounted for 45.2% of the industry total at Php39.9 billion (US$675 million).
