As reported by the Manila Standard Today: "Despite jobs for residents and
millions to the city coffers, one official thinks that Manila has one casino
too many. "The state-run Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. is set to
open more gaming tables in fun houses and exclusive clubs with VIP rooms
which translate to better lighted streets and well-paved roads. "The
windfall, according to a city official, who requested anonymity, was not
justified. ".Manila is host to casino and slot machine operations at the
Manila Pavilion Hotel, Gran Boulevard Hotel, Pan Pacific Hotel, Manila Hyatt
Hotel and selected arcades."
