City of Dreams Manila

Impression

In 1976, the Philippine authorities authorized the operation of casinos in the country and began to control this direction at the legislative level. For this purpose a special state organization PAGCOR was created. Its main tasks are the development of gambling tourism in the country, the collection of funds from casinos and their transfer to the state or the direction of social and cultural projects, as well as control over all gambling. At the moment, only in the capital of the Philippines, Manila, there are about 20 casinos. The newest of them is City of Dreams Manila.
