(AsiaGameHub) –   The owner of the Okada Manila casino is looking to expand its presence throughout the Philippines via a new online casino platform.

Tiger Resort, Leisure and Entertainment has announced plans to roll out Okada Play to “seize new revenue opportunities” in the nation’s online gaming sector.

Nobuki Sato, President and Chief Operating Officer of Okada Manila, stated: “OKADA PLAY represents a strategic move to grow our digital gaming footprint and strengthen our market leadership.

“By broadening our platform lineup through this partnership, we can tap into new player segments while continuing to enhance the premium digital experience tied to the Okada brand.”

This shift to the digital market follows Okada Manila’s report of softer financial performance in 2025, driven by falling VIP revenue and a drop in international tourists.

The integrated resort posted gross gaming revenue of P27.81bn (£347.5m) in 2025, a more than 20% decrease from the previous year.

This figure reflected sector-wide declines: PAGCOR, the Philippines’ gaming regulator, noted an 18.12% revenue drop for PAGCOR-operated casinos to P10.38bn (£129.7m), while licensed casinos generated P31.44 billion (£392.9m) – a 4.93% year-on-year fall.

However, Okada is entering a digital market that continues to grow: PAGCOR reported 2025 revenue of P53.55bn (£669.2), a 9.3% rise from 2024.

“The revenue decline for land-based casinos is mainly due to a gradual shift in player behavior, with more customers choosing digital and online gaming platforms,” Alejandro Tengco, Chair and Chief Executive Officer of PAGCOR, explained in January.

Okada Manila’s digital expansion will be supported by domestic gaming service provider PhilWeb, which will offer assistance across gaming content, platform technology, customer service and marketing.

Earlier this year, the firm was selected to provide the same support for Hann Casino, which has sought to move beyond its brick-and-mortar location in the Philippines’ Pampanga region into the online market.

On the latest partnership, Brian Ng, President of PhilWeb Corporation, said: “By collaborating with Tiger Resort, Leisure and Entertainment, Inc., we are helping a globally recognized luxury gaming brand extend into the online space through a robust, scalable platform.”
