The Philippine casino developer could apply for a Gaming System Administrator licence ahead of Westside City\u2019s opening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Philippines.- Suntrust Resort Holdings Inc. may seek to expand into the Philippines\u2019 regulated online gaming sector. It says it’s considering applying for a Gaming System Administrator (GSA) accreditation from the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) as it advances construction of its Westside City integrated resort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the company’s annual shareholders\u2019 meeting, executives noted that obtaining a GSA accreditation would enable Suntrust to participate in the growing online gaming market by providing technology for licensed online casino operations. The accreditation would complement the land-based casino business planned at the Westside City development<\/a> in Manila\u2019s Entertainment City, adding another revenue stream ahead of the integrated resort\u2019s full opening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company aims to improve its long-term financial outlook and restore positive shareholders\u2019 equity following several years of development-related losses. Construction of the Westside City casino resort has experienced delays but construction is progressing on a project intended to provide 2,500 hotel rooms across three brands and more than 2,000 gaming machines and tables. The idea would be for a GSA licence to be in place before the resort opens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
