Okada Manila unveils new Game Zone
Key Points
The new gaming floor brings together games from AGS and Aruze Gaming Global
The launch event was invitation-only on October 25

The Okada Manila resort has opened a new Game Zone located in the entrance of Pearl Lobby. The new gaming floor features 35 machines from each provider, bringing together six game families from AGS and Aruze Gaming Global.

Rick Colman, VP of Electronic Gaming Operations of Okada Manila, said in the hotel's official press release: "We want players to be able to say they played it first at Okada Manila. By bringing together new titles from AGS and Aruze Gaming Global in a dedicated gaming area, we are giving our guests more opportunities to discover something new while enhancing the overall gaming environment with immersive visual experiences. It’s another way we continue to evolve the guest experience and give visitors more reasons to explore Okada Manila."

The new Game Zone was inaugurated during an invitation-only event on October 25. Following an opening performance and executive remarks, the new zone was ceremoniously unveiled in front of representatives of the resort and gaming providers.

Moreover, 70 invited VIP Reward Circle members gained exclusive early access to the new games during a dedicated gaming session. Each member received PHP5,000 ($78.17) in slot bonus credits and an exclusive vendor-sponsored gift. 

Earlier this month, Okada Manila was named the Best Hotel in the city at the 35th Annual TTG Travel Awards 2026. The award, based on votes from travel industry professionals across Asia-Pacific, adds another accolade to the integrated resort's record.

This recognition is also reflected in the hotel's financial report, as Tiger Resort, Leisure and Entertainment (TRLEI), Okada Manila's operator, reported a 0.9% increase in year-over-year revenue for Q3 2026.

Deric Goh, Director of Mindslot-e, exclusive distributor of AGS in Asia, said of their partnership: "The opening of the first dedicated AGS zone in Asia marks an important milestone in the brand’s development across the region, made possible through our partnership with Okada Manila. With a selection of popular AGS titles brought together in one place, guests can explore more of our portfolio in a dedicated setting. We are pleased to be part of this milestone and look forward to continuing our collaboration with Okada Manila."
