IAG JUN 2021年6月 亞博匯 14 亞博匯早報 BREAKFAST BRIEFS THE CHAIR AND CEO of Philippines gaming regulator PAGCOR, AndreaDomingo, says threeofEntertainment City’s integrated resort operators have already started online gaming operations under the nation’s so-called PIGO (Philippine Inland Gaming Operator) scheme. Solaire Resort & Casino, Resorts World Manila and Okada Manila are the IRs in question, with Domingo stating during a recent online forum that all three have already “started their online table games and slot machines.” Okada Manila’s operating entity, Tiger Resort, Leisure & Entertainment, Inc (TRLEI), confirmed in April that it had received a letter from PAGCOR “approving entry into online gaming for table games and electric gaming machines.” TRLEI said at the time that it would launch online operations as soon as it completes test simulations and clears all necessary conditions, however it also described itself as “the first among the four integrated resorts comprising Entertainment City in Metro Manila” to be granted permission to start online gaming operations. Under the PIGO scheme, casino and integrated resort operators can be licensed to offer online gambling to existing registered members only, allowing these members to log in and play from anywhere within the country. By comparison, the Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGO) scheme permits licensed online operators to offer online gaming services only outside of the Philippines. 菲律賓博彩監管機構PAGCOR 主席兼首席執行官Andrea Do- mingo日前表示，馬尼拉娛樂城的三家綜合度假酒店營運商已經 在該國的PIGO（菲律賓內陸博彩營運商）計劃下開始了網絡博彩 業務。 Domingo在馬尼拉當地一個線上論壇上表示，這三家營運商 為晨麗度假城馬尼拉、馬尼拉雲頂世界及岡田馬尼拉，都已經「開 始了他們的網絡賭枱博彩遊戲及線上角子機」。 岡田馬尼拉的營運實體Tiger Resort, Leisure & Entertain- ment, Inc (TRLEI)於4月證實，已經收到PAGCOR所發出的函件，「 批准其進入賭枱桌遊及電子博彩機的網絡博彩領域」。 TRLEI當時表示，將在完成模擬測試並在滿足所有必要條件 之後，啟動線上營運，並指出其為「在馬尼拉大都會娛樂城的四大 綜合度假村中，首個獲批進入網絡博彩領域的營運商。」 根據PIGO計劃，賭場及綜合度假村營運商只能向現有的註冊 會員提供網絡博彩，允許這些會員可在菲律賓境內的任何地方登 錄並投注。 對比之下，菲律賓離岸博彩營運商（POGO）計劃允許持牌的 網絡博彩營運商僅得在菲律賓境外提供網絡博彩服務。 PAGCOR BOSS SAYS THREE MANILA IRS OFFERING ONLINE GAMING PAGCOR主席表示 現有三家馬尼拉綜合度假村 營運網絡博彩
