PHILWEB CORP. has partnered with Tiger Resort, Leisure and Entertainment, Inc., the operator of Okada Manila, to launch a web based gaming platform.
Under the agreement, PhilWeb will provide a full online gaming platform (OGP) solution for OKADA PLAY, including gaming content, technology, customer support, and marketing support.
“This partnership reflects our continued commitment to providing best-in-class gaming solutions to industry leaders. By working with Tiger Resort, Leisure and Entertainment, Inc., we’re enabling the extension of a globally recognized luxury gaming brand into the net space through a sturdy and scalable platform,” PhilWeb President Brian Ng said in an announcement on Thursday.
The partnership is anticipated to expand Okada Manila’s presence in digital gaming and support its operations as an integrated resort.
“OKADA PLAY marks a strategic step in scaling our digital gaming presence and reinforcing our leadership available in the market,” Okada Manila President and Chief Operating Officer Nobuki Sato said.
“By expanding our platform portfolio through this partnership, we’re in a position to reach recent player segments while continuing to raise the premium digital experience related to the Okada brand,” he added.
OKADA PLAY will operate within the Philippines’ regulated online gaming market, drawing on PhilWeb’s experience in gaming platforms.
The launch forms a part of Okada Manila’s digital initiatives to expand customer engagement beyond its physical property and complement its existing platforms.
PhilWeb has been expanding its presence in regulated online gaming. In February, it partnered with casino equipment provider FBM to develop and deploy a web based gambling platform integrated into FBM’s network of electronic bingo machines across greater than 500 locations.
In January, the corporate also partnered with Hann Casino to support the expansion of its online gaming operations. — Alexandria Grace C. Magno
