PAGCOR, the Philippines Amusement and Gaming Corporation, is none too concerned over the long-term financial implications stemming from the terror that is recent on Resorts World Manila that left 37 innocent dead.
About that Resorts World Manila attack? Shouldn’t have any negative effect on video gaming revenue, therefore claims PAGCOR Chairwoman Andrea Domingo.
PAGCOR CEO Andrea Domingo told reporters this week that her agency does not expect the country’s casino industry to suffer as a result of the tragedy.
On June 2, a man reportedly suffering from a serious gambling addiction, entered Resorts World in the money city and lit areas of the gaming flooring burning.
‚As of now, I don’t see any effect on the gaming industry,‘ Domingo stated, as reported by Malaya Business Insight. ’since, we’re averaging P5 billion ($101 million) a month, so that’s around P25 billion as of May january. I do believe we will find a way to hit the target of P60 billion and above.‘
The reason behind Domingo’s seemingly unwarranted optimism is that the Resorts World attack is not thought to have been linked to any terroristic organization. Capital Region Police Office Chief Oscar Albayalde stated the suspect, whom later committed committing suicide, was greatly indebted to the casino and that ended up being their main motive.
