The Philippines.- Bloomberry Resorts Corporation<\/strong><\/strong> has expanded its digital footprint with the launch of live studio gaming through its online platform MegaFUNalo<\/a>. It says the format emphasises transparency and real-time interaction<\/strong>, allowing players to observe the gameplay processes clearly while participating in live table games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bloomberry has been building its presence in the digital gaming space as part of a strategy to diversify its revenue streams beyond traditional land-based casino operations. The MegaFUNalo platform is designed with localised content tailored to the Philippine market, including elements inspired by Filipino culture and entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cyrus Sherafat<\/strong>, executive vice president and head of gaming at megaFUNalo!, said in a press statement: \u201cWe are building the blueprint for the future of live studio gaming in the Philippines. By merging cutting-edge studio technology with real-time hosting, we aren’t just launching a product\u2014we’re establishing a new standard for transparency. Our glass-table environment and integrated studio are designed specifically to elevate user trust and deliver an immersive experience that hasn’t been seen in this market before.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company, which operates Solaire Resort Entertainment City and Solaire Resort North in Metro Manila as well as\u00a0Jeju Sun Hotel & Casino in South Korea<\/a>, said softer premium gaming activity was the primary factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
