History

Tiger Resort Leisure and Entertainment owned by Japanese businessman Kazuo Okada, was granted a license to operate a casino within the Entertainment City in 2008. In June 2016, the casino complex then named as Manila Bay Resorts was re-branded as Okada Manila.

The facility is intended to be used by Okada to compete with casinos in Macau and to position Metro Manila as a regional and international destination. The casino was set to open in November 2016 but the opening was later delayed due to worse-than-expected weather conditions.

The casino complex was opened for "preview" on December 21, 2016 and later commenced operations as a casino in December 30, 2016.

Features

Okada Manila occupies an area of 45 hectares (110 acres) of the Entertainment City 26,410.77 square metres (284,283.2 sq ft) allotted to gaming. The hotel building of Okada Manila will be composed of the Pearl and Coral Wings with each wing having 15 floors to be connected by two sky bridges. The glass facade of the building will have gold color representing the hue of Manila Bay's sunset. The color according to Tiger Resort president Steve Wolstenholme is one of the casino's key themes. The US$2.4 billion phase one of the casino project includes 993 hotel rooms. More than 3,000 electronic gaming machines and 500 table games will be installed in the casino complex.

An indoor night club and beach complex covering an area of 8,361 square metres (90,000 sq ft) called The Cove will be hosted within the casino development with a maximum guest capacity of 4,500 people. The entertainment venue will be covered by a glass dome and will comprise 33 cabanas and bungalows each with its own private jacuzzi, dining room, and media and karaoke room.
