NICE88 Okada Casino Philippines: The Resort, the Owner, the Rules

Okada Casino Philippines: Who Owns the Resort

Tiger Resort Leisure and Entertainment — the Philippine subsidiary of Universal Entertainment Corporation — runs Okada Manila under an Entertainment City license granted in 2008. Casino operations began on December 30, 2016, after a preview on December 21, 2016. The resort carried the name Manila Bay Resorts until it rebranded to Okada Manila in June 2016. PAGCOR regulates the floor the same way it regulates every Entertainment City resort.

The Scale: 44 Hectares and 1,001 Rooms

Okada Manila occupies 44 hectares (110 acres) in Entertainment City, Parañaque — the largest footprint among Manila’s four integrated resorts. Phase One was built at a cost of roughly US$2.4 billion. The resort holds 1,001 rooms split across two wings, more than any of Solaire’s 800, City of Dreams Manila’s Nobu-Nüwa-Hyatt total, or Newport World Resorts. Manila’s four-resort casino comparison sets those figures against each other in one table, operator by operator, opening date by opening date.

Before You Go: Entrance Fee and the Age Rule

No entrance fee for Okada Manila is published here; the resort’s own site is where to confirm current entry policy before a visit. PAGCOR’s Responsible Gaming rules set the floor at 21 years of age, and that applies at Okada Manila the same as at every PAGCOR-licensed casino. A player who wants the scale of Okada without the travel can compare notes with an online NICE88 casino bankroll instead, which carries no connection to Tiger Resort Leisure and Entertainment or Universal Entertainment Corporation.

Okada vs the Rest of Entertainment City

Okada Manila is one of all four Manila casino resorts covered together, alongside Solaire, City of Dreams Manila and Newport World Resorts. City of Dreams Manila specifically — Melco’s resort two blocks over — gets its own breakdown on City of Dreams Manila’s hotel profile. A player looking outside Luzon can check Cebu’s casino lineup by comparison on NUSTAR and the two Waterfront properties instead. Whichever resort a trip starts at, PAGCOR licenses all four the same way, and Okada Manila’s 44-hectare scale remains the largest of the group by a wide margin.
