THE GAMING ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY

Gambling enthusiasts may have very well heard that the Asian casino gaming industry, both in the online
and offline realms, has been expanding and openin8 its doors to new development in recent years. Macau
certainly comes to mind as a leading casino gaming destination being that it is the largest gaming market in
all of Asia. However, many gamblers (especially those in the West) are surprised to hear just how large the
casino market has become in the Philippines.
The casino industry in the Philippines is thriving, and the Philippines has become one of the most desirable
casino destinations in Asia. Political stability, steady economic growth, ability to weather the recent Asian
financial crisis, and an educated and reliable workforce have made the Philippines an attractive gaming
investment location (Gushin, 2000). The uniqueness behind the current prosperity of the gambling industry
in the Philippines is the government's aggressive Support by establishing a government entity, PAGCOR,
whose responsibilities Include overseeing all legalized gaming operations and regulating gaming-related
activities. Along with incentive and benefit programs to boost casino investment, progressive modernization
and upgrading of existing casinos are expected to notice more lucrative Asian players. New projects, such
as the construction of a new World-class casino at the marina complex in Manila and the transformation of
old casinos into new tourist destinations, will make the future of the nation's gaming industry promising and
rewarding, to an extent that the country is anticipated to be on its way to becoming the Las Vegas of the
Orient.

SIZE AND SCOPE OF GAMING ENTERTAINMENT

Four Large Casino Operators:
 Park Place Entertainment Inc.
 MGM Grand Inc.
 Harrah’s Entertainment INC.
 Mandalay Resort Group
Why is it that gaming/entertainment industry is growing so quickly? Basically, because people like to wager,
and historically, there has been more demand than supply tor wagering opportunities. As public acceptance
of legalized gambling has grown, and state and local governments have permitted gaming entertainment
establishments to open, supply is beginning to meet demand.
The casino gaming industry is clearly an important provider of jobs, wages and taxes to the world's
economy. The jobs created are well paying which match the national average wage and exceed average
wages of several other industries.
Casino gaming relies more heavily than most industries on domestic labor and domestic suppliers. Casino
operations are relatively labor intensive; thus, they create more direct jobs than those in other industries.
The casino entertainment industry, a relatively new part of the hospitality business, has some controversial
elements to it. The majority of people find a visit to a casino enjoyable and entertaining and have no
objections to gaming entertainment businesses. However, others have strong objections to casino gaming
based on their moral beliefs, or opinions, that there are social costs associated with gaming entertainment
operations. Although moral beliefs of others can never be questioned, the social costs of casino
entertainment should be reviewed. A major concern associated with casino entertainment is the impact on
crime, both organized crime and street crime.
