Okada Manila could soon have a new VIP club

Macau junket investor Tak Chun Group has announced that a new VIP club could soon be added to the Okada Manila casino resort in the Philippines.

In an interview with GGRAsia, the junket group confirmed that it plans on opening the VIP room, which will offer 18 gaming tables across five rooms. It will be the third VIP room for Tak Chun in the Philippines market.

Tak Chun already has a VIP room at the Solaire Resort and Casino and the City of Dreams Manila. Both are located in Manila, a rising hot spot for gamblers. The launch of the third VIP club is part of the company’s plans to expand throughout Asia, and executives anticipate a double-digit climb in the amount of gamblers it serves in 2018.

Okada’s gambling operations have had a strong run since 2017; however, the opening of the first section of its first hotel at the beginning of this year will help produce substantially higher returns in the area in 2018. The first hotel tower, Tower A, will offer around 500 rooms when it’s completed. An additional amount of rooms could be added by the end of 2019.
