The long-term prediction formed part of the company’s 3Q22 market update for the Philippines, which also estimates the nation’s GGR will return to 2019 levels of around US$5 billion by next year – up from between US$3.9 billion and US$4.0 billion in 2022. “The Philippines enjoys a strong locals market, a strong expat community (Korean, Chinese, Taiwanese, Japanese) and fully open international borders,” GCG said. “Strong regulations, introduction of PIGO and new airports in Cebu and Clark all indicate that the Philippines will be competing with Singapore for the top GGR position over the next few years. “We expect the Philippines to increase to an annual GGR of US$10 billion in full year 2027.” PAGCOR figures show GGR from licensed casinos reached Php117.0 billion (US$2.04 billion) through the first nine months of 2022, including Php44.8 billion (US$781 million) in Q3. Industry wide GGR, which also includes PAGCOR casinos and “other licensed” casinos, reached US$1.04 in Q3, the highest quarterly figure since 4Q19 when GGR reached US$1.31 billion. While PAGCOR did not distinguish between GGR generated in Manila’s Entertainment City and other areas like Clark and Cebu for the September quarter, GCG estimates suggest Cebu’s first integrated resort, NUSTAR Resort and casino, generated gross gaming revenue of around US$20 million in its first quarter of operations. The property held its soft opening in May with a full opening tentatively planned for the second half of 2023. Its main gaming floor is currently operational although most VIP areas remain under construction. 亞太諮詢公司 GCG Gaming Advisory Services預測，到2027 年，菲律賓博彩業的博彩總收入將達到100億美元，收入在五年 內翻一番。 該長期預測是該公司對菲律賓2022年第三季度市場報告的 一部分，該報告還預測，到明年，菲律賓的博彩總收入將恢復至 2019年的50億的水平——高於2022年的39億至40億美元。 GCG表示：「菲律賓擁有強大的本地市場、強大的外籍人 士社區（韓國人、中國人、台灣人、日本人）和完全開放的國際 邊界。」 「嚴格的監管、PIGO的引入以及宿霧和克拉克的新機場都 反映，菲律賓將在未來幾年與新加坡爭奪最高博彩總收入的位 置。」 「我們預計菲律賓的博彩總收入將在2027年增加到100億美 元。」 PAGCOR數據顯示，到2022年前九個月，持牌賭場的博彩 總收入達到1170億披索（20.4億美元），其中第三季度為448億 披索（7.81億美元），包括PAGCOR賭場和「其他持牌」賭場在 內的全行業博彩總收入在第三季度達到10.4億美元，這是自2019 年第四季度博彩收入達到13.1億美元以來的最高季度數字。 雖然PAGCOR沒有區分馬尼拉娛樂城、克拉克和宿霧等其 他地區在第三季度產生的博彩總收入，但GCG預計，宿霧的第一 個綜合度假村項目、NUSTAR度假村和賭場在第一季度產生了約 2000萬美元的博彩總收入。儘管大部分VIP區域仍在建設中，但 主要博彩娛樂場目前已經投入使用。
