PAGCOR Suspends All Casino and Gaming Operations in Manila
The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp (PAGCOR) has suspended all its gaming operations in Manila.
The temporary shut down applies to land-based casinos, electronic games, bingo, sports betting, poker and slot machine clubs, and other activities regulated by PAGCOR, and will last for the duration of the National Capital Region (NCR) community quarantine imposed by the government.
PAGCOR says operations outside of Manila will also be suspended if the government declares an extension of the quarantine measures.
In POGOs, only a minimum number of workers will be allowed at workplaces. The rest of POGO workers will be restricted to their respective living quarters where they will observe social distancing and quarantine protocols.
“PAGCOR believes in the seriousness of the COVID 19 situation. Hence, it supports the government’s extreme effort in containing the virus,” PAGCOR said.
