PHILIPPINE GGR HITS PHP215B IN H1; E-GAMES TAKE 53% SHARE
The Philippine gaming industry maintained its strong performance in the first half of 2025 with gross gaming revenues (GGR) reaching Php214.75 billion – up 26% from Php171 billion in the same period last year, the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) said.
The Electronic Games sector – composed of E-Games, E-Bingo, and Bingo grantees – continued to pace the industry with Php114.83 billion in gross revenues or 53.47% of total GGR, said PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Alejandro H Tengco.
Licensed casinos – comprised of integrated resorts and brick-and-mortar casinos in Metro Manila, Clark, Cebu, La Union and Rizal – also remained a significant revenue driver, contributing Php93.36 billion or 43.47% of the industry GGR.
Meanwhile, PAGCOR-operated casinos added Php6.56 billion, representing 3.06% of the overall industry performance.
Despite robust earnings from the online gaming space, Mr. Tengco emphasized the need to maintain regulatory equilibrium as the industry continues to evolve.
“PAGCOR recognizes the earning potential of the E-Games sector, but as the country’s gaming regulator, our foremost responsibility is to ensure that growth comes with accountability,” Mr. Tengco said.
“Our role goes beyond revenue generation; and as partners of the government in nation-building, we are committed to always strike a balance between enabling industry expansion and ensuring it aligns with responsible gaming standards,” he added.
The PAGCOR chief noted that the state gaming agency recently signed a memorandum of understanding with the Ad Standards Council (ASC) to strengthen the monitoring of gambling-related advertisements across all platforms.
It also recently ordered the takedown of all gambling ads in public spaces and primetime TV by August 15 this year.
“These efforts are part of our broader mission to ensure that online gambling is not only well-regulated but also aligned with public interest,” Mr. Tengco added.
With the continued growth of the local gaming sector, PAGCOR also reaffirmed its focus on sustaining reforms that promote transparency, industry compliance, and inclusive national development.

Push Gaming redefines its portfolio, unveiling new game categories and sub-brand for extended player reach
B2B gaming supplier Push Gaming is embarking on a major strategic expansion, introducing two new game categories and a new sub-brand to scale its operations and significantly diversify its game portfolio while maintaining its reputation for high-quality slot experiences. The move aims to attract a wider range of players and secure a substantial market share in key regions.
Known for its premium, quality approach to game design, Push Gaming is broadening its signature style to reach a larger audience while maintaining its commitment to excellence. The new strategy introduces two distinct game categories: Push Originals and Push Actions, which remain within the Push Gaming core brand alongside a new sub-studio, Reel Hot Games.
Push Originals will continue to represent signature Push Gaming titles, targeting slot enthusiasts with complex mechanics and high-volatility gameplay. This category offers thrilling slot experiences, continually pushing boundaries with innovative features and the potential for substantial wins.
Push Actions is an entirely new category aimed at casual players who enjoy fun and easily understandable games. These titles deliver fast-paced, high-energy gameplay with simple mechanics and popular themes. Recent releases, including 3 Magic Pots and 10 Flaming Bisons, have been examples of the provider flexing its creativity with games that are a slight departure from its previous styles, and these and forthcoming games of the same style now officially have a home.
Reel Hot Games is poised to bring its own unique identity to Push Gaming’s portfolio with a classic slots experience. This sub-brand caters to players who appreciate the nostalgia of land-based casino games, featuring iconic symbols and themes enhanced by modern mechanics. It is particularly targeted at markets where classic games are highly popular, such as the regulated US states, Romania, Greece, the Netherlands, Bulgaria and certain Latin American markets.
The successful March 2025 launch of Power Vault in the UK and Brazil was the first unofficial example of a Reel Hot Games release, while the first game to officially launch under this new direction will be Bamboo Ways under the Push Originals category. In addition to all new releases, previous Push Gaming titles will be recategorised accordingly.
George Fil, Director of Product Strategy at Push Gaming, said: “This is a pivotal moment for Push Gaming. Our new direction is a clear commitment to scaling at pace while staying true to the quality that has defined us thus far.
“By diversifying our portfolio with these new categories and sub-brand, we’re not just expanding our offerings, we’re creating ultimate gaming experiences leveraging our heritage in content standards for a broader audience and driving significant growth for our partners in key markets.
“We are laser-focused on pushing boundaries to deliver products that benefit everyone.”
