How the sectors break down
PAGCOR-operated gaming. This covers table games, slot machines, junket table games, junket slot machines, in-house bingo, and — in 2023 and 2024 — poker operations. Total PAGCOR-operated GGR was PHP 19,627,570,560.56 in 2023, PHP 15,977,864,362.87 in 2024, and PHP 12,520,003,853.13 in 2025.

Licensed casinos. This covers Entertainment City / NCR, Fiesta, Clark, and the Greenfield Zone. Total licensed casino GGR was PHP 207,482,299,315.94 in 2023, PHP 201,839,537,258.60 in 2024, and PHP 182,502,810,038.01 in 2025. Entertainment City / NCR is the dominant location in each year: PHP 173,256,693,588.51 in 2023, PHP 164,083,114,232.24 in 2024, and PHP 148,723,311,049.64 in 2025.
Other licensees. This covers bingo operations, electronic games, and — in 2025 — poker onsite and offsite. Total other licensee GGR was PHP 58,162,831,016.83 in 2023, PHP 154,517,338,470.53 in 2024, and PHP 201,115,988,872.43 in 2025. The growth is driven mainly by Electronic Games: PHP 33,165,316,869.87 in 2023, PHP 135,711,611,452.65 in 2024, and PHP 185,258,719,554.36 in 2025.
Electronic Games: the fastest-growing segment
Electronic Games is the clearest growth story in the PAGCOR data. From PHP 33,165,316,869.87 in 2023, the segment nearly quadrupled to PHP 135,711,611,452.65 in 2024, then rose again to PHP 185,258,719,554.36 in 2025. By 2025, Electronic Games represented the largest single line item in the industry, exceeding the combined total of all licensed casinos (PHP 182,502,810,038.01).
Bingo Operations, by contrast, declined across the period: PHP 24,997,514,146.96 in 2023, PHP 18,805,727,017.88 in 2024, and PHP 15,709,806,813.61 in 2025.
How to read PAGCOR gaming statistics
The figures are presented by sector and by quarter, with a full-year total for each line. When comparing years, note that the composition of the tables changes. Poker operations appear under PAGCOR-operated gaming in 2023 and 2024, and under Other Licensees in 2025, where they are labelled Poker Onsite (NGR) and Poker Offsite (NGR). Online poker appears under PAGCOR-operated gaming in 2023 and 2024 only. These reclassifications affect year-on-year comparisons at the sector level even where the industry total remains comparable.
The data covers gross gaming revenues only. It does not show operator profitability, license fees, taxes, or regulatory actions.
