Lucky Strike!

And yes, you can even engage in a game of chance in war-torn Mindanao at the Casino Filipino Davao at the posh Mercure Grand Hotel - the only casino in this part of the country. Casino operations admittedly have been greatly affected with the ongoing "insurgency problem. But we have immediately recovered," stated Annalyn Villanueva, PACGOR"s information officer.

The all-time favorite casino in the country is the 3,342 sq. meter Casino Filipino at the Holiday Inn Manila Pavilion Hotel.

"The Casino Filipino at the Manila Pavilion provides more gaming tables, more entertainment shows, and a lot of surprises and promotions for their guests. It is also located at the heart of the country's capital," said Ms. Villanueva.

You can take a chance at the Pavilion's 105 gaming tables offering baccarat, blackjack, roulette, piagaw, and craps - or try your luck at its 518 slot machines. If lady luck has left your side, your "donation" to the casino's coffers will find its way to the regular outreach programs to poor communities engaging in health and sports activities.

Indeed, casinos in the Philippines mirror PAGCOR's goal of providing the highest quality of service, catering to the different needs of casino gamers.

"Our very desire is to put the needs of guests at the prime," Mr. Bautista emphasized. "We always aim to equal or even surpass the glamour and glitz of Las Vegas' famous casinos. We are almost there!"
