Ozawa, a celebrity entrepreneur born in Japan, has been involved with the design of the online portal, including the selection of games available to the casino’s customers.

Carlos Lopez, Creative Director, M88 Mansion, commented: “We partnered with Maria Ozawa because she is a well-known celebrity within our market. We created Maria's Room because we want to present Maria in a new light. She is more than just an on-screen personality. She is very business-minded, and at the same time, she likes to have fun. This is the side of her that we want to present.” 

The partnership is expected to be mutually beneficial. M88 Mansion will seek to bring fresh audiences to its offerings based on Ozawa’s celebrity fanbase; for Ozawa herself, it’ll be an opportunity to increase her fanbase by partnering with one of Asia’s most successful casinos. 

In addition to the online portal, Ozawa is expected to appear at in-person events. She is scheduled to appear in the Philippines this April.  

On the new agreement, Ozawa commented: “It is my first time to partner with a gaming company, and I am thrilled with Maria's Room as I have never tried anything like this before. I play my favourites when I have free time, and if players are lucky, they will also get to play with me.” 

In a nod to her previous career as a model and actress, M88 Mansion’s customers will be able to play Bikini Party, Ladies Nite 2 and Football Baby in Maria’s Room. 

As an entrepreneur, Ozawa co-owns Bar Drunk, in Tokyo, and Singles Bar at Resorts World Manila, in the Philippines.
