The Philippines is the hub of live poker in South-East Asia. The country took the opposite path to most of its neighbours: casinos are legal and regulated by PAGCOR, the state gaming authority, which allowed a cluster of large integrated resorts to grow.
It is all concentrated in Entertainment City, a district reclaimed from Manila Bay in Parañaque. That is where the APPT, PokerStars' Asian tour, holds its Manila stops — among the best-attended festivals on the continent, with combined guarantees above 130 million pesos.
Buy-ins are quoted in Philippine pesos: a ₱150,000 Main Event is roughly €2,300. English is an official language and widely spoken at the tables, which makes the country straightforward for visiting players.

Frequently asked questions
Is live poker legal in the Philippines?
Yes. Casinos are regulated by PAGCOR (Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation), the state body that both operates and supervises gaming. It is one of the most established frameworks in Asia.
What currency are Philippine tournaments played in?
Philippine pesos (PHP). As with the Korean won, the order of magnitude differs sharply from the euro: 1,000 pesos is about €15.
Where are the major festivals held in the Philippines?
At Entertainment City on Manila Bay, in the city of Parañaque — technically distinct from Manila proper but part of the same Metro Manila conurbation. APPT stops are played at Cove Manila, inside the Okada Manila resort.
What is the minimum age to enter a Philippine casino?
Twenty-one, with photo ID or a passport shown on entry.
