Hann Casino Resort, under luxury resort developer Hann Holdings, Inc., is expanding its online gaming reach by tapping listed gaming tech firm PhilWeb Corp. to run and manage its digital platform.

In a Thursday stock exchange filing, PhilWeb said it will deploy its “extensive experience, technical expertise, and long-standing track record in the Philippine gaming industry” to power the platform.

The partnership will enable the rollout of “a secure, compliant, and high-quality digital gaming experience aligned with regulatory requirements,” signaling Hann’s serious intent to stake its claim in the country’s regulated online gaming market.

While PhilWeb works to enhance the platform performance, elevate the player experience, and drive overall efficiency, Hann Casino will focus on driving responsible gaming and strong governance.

Hann Casino Resort, the first fully integrated resort in Central Luzon, spans 11 hectares and features 274 table games, 1,721 gaming machines, and over 800 hotel rooms. 

Its recent 1.22-hectare expansion added new gaming areas and dining concepts, rounding out a portfolio of 20 restaurants, bars, and cafés.

Last year, the Securities and Exchange Commission approved Hann Holdings’ planned initial public offering, which could have raised up to P11.43 billion through the sale of 500 million primary shares at P23.60 each, plus an overallotment of 50 million shares. The offering, however, has been indefinitely postponed.
