Manila, October 26, 2026. Okada Manila, located in Entertainment City, Parañaque, inaugurated a new gaming zone on October 25, featuring 70 slot machines, six game families, and upgraded audiovisual technology. The expansion aims to strengthen its land-based gaming offering and attract visitors in a market where electronic gaming revenue declined during the third quarter.
Located near the Pearl Lobby entrance, the new gaming area features LED screens, immersive lighting, and next-generation gaming cabinets, including models equipped with 49-inch curved displays. The space was designed to increase commercial visibility and enhance the experience for regular customers and new visitors.
