PAGCOR
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) is the Philippines second largest contributor of revenue after the Tax Authority. PAGCOR regulates all gaming aspects in the Philippines.
The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) is the government-owned and controlled corporation established to regulate all games of chance in the Philippines. It was created in 1976 to oversee the operation of gaming casinos, to generate funds for the government's developmental projects, and to help curb illegal gambling.
PAGCOR is a vital arm of the government in nation building. The state-owned firm is the third biggest source of government funds with annual revenue of 22 Billion Pesos. PAGCOR is proof that casinos and legalized gaming can be a valuable source of government funding and an effective engine for national development. In its endeavor to generate more funds for the government's pressing concerns, PAGCOR has ventured beyond casino management. To meet the challenges of the new millennium, the gaming corporation is constantly looking for ways to improve its gaming products and maximizing the efficiency of its gaming operations.
