Representatives of the gaming industry, government officials and a healthy delegation from Philippines gaming regulator PAGCOR were among the nearly 100 guests to enjoy the very first edition of Manila After Dark last Thursday, 20 April 2023.
Held in the luxurious surrounds of the Chairman’s Lounge at Okada Manila – which boasts stunning views over both Manila Bay and The Fountain at Okada Manila – guests were treated to a range of high-quality food and beverages as they caught up with old friends and made a few new ones too.
A Lucky Draw also saw three very excited guests win fabulous prizes courtesy of Okada Manila, before enjoying some lively welcome speeches from each of our key sponsors. The speeches were delivered by Wendy Ni, Vice President of Strategic Marketing at Okada Manila; Mark Howell, Regional Account Manager, Asia for Light & Wonder; and Francis Valenzuela IV, Account Manager at IGT in the Philippines.
Inside Asian Gaming thanks all of our sponsors for their generous support of this important industry event.

“It was a tremendous thrill to welcome so many of our Philippines colleagues to the very first ‘MAD Manila’ at Okada Manila,” said IAG Vice Chairman and CEO, Andrew W Scott.
“We were honored by the wonderful response we received and the fact that we saw such a large turnout on Thursday shows that the Philippines gaming industry is ready and willing to enjoy more events like these in the future. Rest assured, you’ll be seeing a lot more from IAG in the Philippines – from Manila to Clark to Cebu and beyond – over the coming months and years.”
MAD will return to Macau for the first Macau After Dark of 2023 this Tuesday 25 April at Sofitel at Ponte 16.
