Asia Gaming: Performance of Philippines Casinos Reinforces Our Bullish Outlook for the Market

By Howard J Klein

  • Philippine casinos are on a run in a rapid recovery path from covid headwinds.
  • Entertainment City operators are leading the charge. Our favorite remains Bloomberry Resorts for a steady growth path to a projected EBITDA of US$500m by 2027.
  • Macau continues beset by China headwinds with no certain estimates of duration. Manila casinos will benefit from growing cross border arrivals of tourists and VIPs.
