The Philippines’ integrated resorts generated gross gaming revenues of Php93.4 billion (US$1.65 billion) in the first six months of the year, accounting for around 43.4% of the local gaming industry’s GGR according to information from Alejandro Tengco – the Chairman and CEO of gaming regulator PAGCOR.
Tengco provided the update during a welcome address as hospitality seminar Philippine Hotel Connect 2025 on Thursday, where he talked up the important role the country’s IRs play in driving tourism.
The figures do, however, highlight the current challenges faced by the Philippines’ licensed casinos because – based on PAGCOR’s 1H25 revenue numbers – their combined GGR actually fell by 10.6% quarter-on-quarter to Php44.1 billion (US$778 million) in Q2.
