The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) recently received formal recognition from the Governance Commission for GOCCs or GCG for achieving a score of 99.46% in its annual Performance Evaluation System (PES) for 2022.

The score is one of the highest in the history of PAGCOR and was achieved on the first year under the leadership of Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco, who was appointed by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. in August 2022.

PAGCOR’s score in the 2021 PES was 98.08%, while in 2020 it was 91.38%.

The award for 2022 was received by PAGCOR President and COO Atty. Juanito L. Sañosa during the inaugural GOCC Governance Awards Ceremony on November 20, 2023 at the PICC Complex in Pasay City.

Atty. Sañosa said the award elevated PAGCOR to the ranks of the best performing GOCCs in the country.

“This is truly another proud moment for PAGCOR. While this award serves as a validation of our efforts and hard work, it also inspires us to continuously exceed our past accomplishments – all in the service of our country,” he said.

The PES award is a recognition of the unwavering dedication to the highest standards of accountability and efficiency among government-owned and controlled corporations.

In the GCG report, PAGCOR garnered perfect scores in the following categories: Increased Contribution to National Government Coffers and Nation-Building Efforts; Increased Gross Gaming Revenue of the Industry; and Increased Revenue of PAGCOR; among others.

In his keynote speech during the awards ceremony, Executive Secretary Lucas P. Bersamin said GOOCs contributed Php48.68 billion in dividends in 2022, funding some of the most vital government socio-civic projects such as infrastructure, health, education, and others.

“It is beyond question that GOCCs are significant tools in adjuring inclusive economic growth and development for 2022. The Bureau of Treasury recorded Php48.68 billion dividends coming from different GOCCs that are covered under Republic Act 10149,” Bersamin noted.

In a statement, GCG Commissioner Atty. Brian Keith F. Hosaka encouraged all GOCCs to work closely together in making the GOCC sector a prime driver in delivering effective and efficient progress for Filipinos.

Aside from PAGCOR, twelve other GOCCs received awards for achieving the highest Corporate Governance Scorecard (CGS) ratings in 2022 while three bagged the CGS Hall of Fame.

Devilfish Poker Welcomes Aion into the Fold and Launches on Immutable

Published

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Devilfish Poker, the pioneering creator of the free-to-play social community poker game inspired by the legendary Dave “Devilfish” Ulliott, has taken two significant steps in scaling its Web3-powered poker movement with the strategic integration of Aion Poker into its player ecosystem and its official launch on the Immutable gaming network.

With this dual expansion, Devilfish has doubled its Discord community size, significantly increased its player community, and gained access to over 100,000 active Web3 players through Immutable, supercharging its mission to create a decentralised, skill-first, community-driven poker experience.

The rise of free-to-play social poker and community-driven gameplay has accelerated rapidly in recent years, fuelled by a new generation of digital natives and existing recreational poker players who are tired of financially extractive traditional poker models. These players aren’t just looking for entertainment; they’re seeking personalisation, connection, and ownership through features like avatars, skins, traits, and meaningful progression within immersive social ecosystems.

“These are not just new chapters; they’re a new volume in the Devilfish story,” said JJ Williams, Co-Founder of W3 Marketing Ltd and Devilfish Poker. “Aion Poker’s integration strengthens our grassroots Discord community movement, while Immutable gives us the infrastructure to scale globally, reward players transparently, and deliver gameplay that’s truly owned. Together, these steps reflect our commitment to building the most trusted, entertaining and decentralised social poker platform in Web3.”

“This isn’t just about numbers. It’s about building a space where poker is relevant to today’s new generation of players. Where your avatar, your plays, and your reputation mean something. Where the grind is respected, not exploited. Where players, real players, shape the game.”

ICONIC21, the in-demand iGaming content provider, proudly announces the successful launch of a fully customised and dedicated studio for ARB Gaming LLC’s, MODO Casino, one of America’s most celebrated social casino brands. The studio features ICONIC21’s signature top-performers: Gravity Roulette, Gravity Blackjack, and Crash Live, now reimagined with MODO Casino’s distinctive branding.

MODO Casino players can now enjoy a seamless and personalised live experience powered by the same smooth UI/UX, multiplier-driven play, and premium game flow that made ICONIC21’s Gravity Series a market hit. From visual design to gameplay configuration, everything in the new studio was developed based on MODO Casino’s unique preferences, with full creative input and alignment across both teams. At the heart of this experience are ICONIC21’s trained live dealers, who bring the games to life with engaging, real-time interactions fostering a sense of community that resonates with MODO Casino’s entertainment-driven audience.

Alina Mihaela Popa, CCO at ICONIC21, said: “This dedicated studio is close to our hearts. It definitely encapsulates the MODO essence, from its premium look to the game selection. The social interaction facilitated by our live dealers adds a dynamic layer of connection, making every game a shared experience for MODO’s players.”

“We’re proud to have handled this project in such a short timeline, and we are looking forward to seeing how the studio will be received by the MODO fanbase.”

The dedicated studio is operated A to Z by ICONIC21’s in-house team, complete with trained game presenters, high-speed delivery, and 24/7 operational support. As always, this project reflects ICONIC21’s commitment to quality, speed, and true partnership in every single project.

Patrick Fechtmeyer, CEO at Arb Gaming LLC, added: “This launch represents an important milestone not just for MODO Casino, but for the broader free-to-play social casino ecosystem. At ARB Gaming, we see real-time, human interaction as the next frontier of player engagement—and this live studio brings that vision to life. ICONIC21’s live dealers don’t just run the games; they create a shared social experience that mirrors the energy of a real casino floor. It’s entertainment, connection, and community—all delivered at scale.”

With hundreds of free-to-play games and one of the most loyal social audiences in the U.S., MODO Casino continues to set the bar for entertainment-driven casino-style play, now with a live studio to match. This launch represents a powerful opportunity to enhance engagement within the free-to-play social casino ecosystem, as the studio’s live dealers and interactive gameplay deepen player connections and strengthen MODO Casino’s community-driven model. ARB Gaming’s broader commitment to leadership in the social gaming industry was further cemented with its entry into the newly launched Social Gaming Leadership Alliance (SGLA). The SGLA, led by former Congressman Jeff Duncan, brings together top operators to champion safe, responsible, and engaging free-to-play digital entertainment. ARB’s participation underscores its commitment to innovation, integrity, and consumer protection in the social gaming space.
