Key points:
- Online platform overhaul aims to position Newport within PHP200bn (US$3.45bn) digital gaming sector
- Company clarifies it is not launching a new gaming app, but strengthening existing systems
- Online revenues expected to positively impact Alliance Global’s gaming portfolio
Newport World Resorts is enhancing its online gaming infrastructure to better compete in the fast-growing digital segment of the Philippine casino market, parent company Alliance Global Group Inc. confirmed in a filing to the Philippine Stock Exchange, as reported by Bilyonaryo.com and clarified by the company.
The clarification came in response to reports suggesting the launch of a new gaming application. Alliance Global stated that Newport is not releasing a new app, but rather upgrading and consolidating its online gaming systems to match rising demand and performance expectations within the sector.
With digital casinos now accounting for approximately half of total casino revenue in the country, the upgrade signals Newport’s intention to remain competitive against both local and international operators.
The company said that improved performance in its online gaming division will have a positive effect on the revenues of both Travellers International Hotel Group Inc. and its parent, Alliance Global Group Inc.
Good to know: Newport’s revamped system is designed to bring together its existing digital offerings under a unified, streamlined platform
Newport World Resorts, located opposite Manila’s Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3, is the Philippines’ first integrated resort. It features seven major hotel brands and a comprehensive mix of gaming, entertainment, dining and retail options.
The resort also supports responsible gaming through a dedicated programme including education, assistance services and self-exclusion mechanisms.
As digital engagement becomes increasingly central to the gaming landscape, Newport’s investment in its platform suggests a strategic focus on aligning traditional hospitality with modern gaming trends.
