Manila, which has been a popular poker hub within the region, is welcoming its first breakthrough since the pandemic began with PokerStars Live at Okada Manila having resumed operations just yesterday. Additionally, Star Poker Gold Coast located in Queensland, Australia is scheduled to be back with its 7-handed cash game tables this December 11th. Philippine poker started in early 2006 with one poker room located at PAGCOR’s Airport Casino.In the beginning, it was the only casino offering Texas Hold’em Poker. But after The Metro Card Club, the very first mortar & brick poker room in the country opened, numerous rooms followed suit.Despite the amount of poker rooms in the metropolis alone, real popularity was gained after the launch. PokerStars, the world's largest poker company, opened the PokerStars LIVE Manila poker room in December 2014. It is currently located at the Okada Manila.
