A greater influx of international poker players are coming in to attend prestigious tournaments like the APPT, the Asian Poker Tour (APT), and the World Poker Tour (WPT) National Philippines.Īpart from this newfound popularity in the poker scene, the Philippines, through CEZA, is also garnering a reputation as having Asia’s most favorable jurisdictions for licensing and regulating online gaming. Since then, the poker community has truly boomed, especially with having PokerStars & Poker King Club making Manila as its new home. The Asian Poker Tour (APT) reinforced this fact in 2008 by extending satellites abroad to APT events in the Philippines. This event placed the Philippines on the global map as a poker destination. Seeing the reaction and the number of poker players in the archipelago, the international brand decided to hold the inaugural tournament of the Asia Pacific Poker Tour (APPT) at the Hyatt Regency Hotel & Casino in Manila in August 2007. Despite the number of poker rooms in the metropolis alone, real popularity was gained after the launch of the Filipino Poker Tour, a local circuit sponsored by PokerStars. But after The Metro Card Club, the very first brick & mortar poker room in the country opened, numerous rooms followed suit. In the beginning, it was the only casino offering Texas Hold’em Poker. Philippine poker started in early 2006 with one poker room located at PAGCOR’s Airport Casino.
