Digiplus Interactive Corp. has entered into a cooperation agreement with New Coast Leisure Inc. and Total Gamezone Xtreme Inc. to operate digital gaming services at LaVie Resort and Casino Manila. The non-exclusive arrangement covers technical support, content integration, and management of approved online games. LaVie is owned by International Entertainment Corp., which Digiplus is in the process of acquiring.
The move comes as the Philippine gaming sector is projected to grow 8 percent annually through 2033, reaching US$9.87 billion, driven by technology, demographics, and improved regulations. Recent changes include lower licensing fees and new vendor accreditation rules from PAGCOR, alongside a growing shift toward augmented and virtual reality gaming experiences.
The partnership positions Digiplus to capture a share of the expanding regulated digital gaming market, supported by policy reforms that aim to strengthen the industry’s integrity and commercial appeal.
