This is part 2 of my Casino Filipino Davao City – What to expect and what to do blog post series. Like I previously mentioned, Mindanaoan thought of writing this series because I know that there are still a lot of Pinoys out there who shun from casinos and betting stations. I DO NOT, however, advocate gambling. I just want to share with you all how life is inside a 24/7 casino, what you can see in PAGCOR Davao, what you can do in a Casino Filipino branch and how you can avail of freebies be they be food, bets, chips, tokens, concert tickets etc.

So are you now curious about what’s going on inside this 24-hour casino in Davao City, Mindanao?
Now that you already have your Casino Filipino Privilege Card, the next step would be to check out the various areas inside this casino. You can find rows and rows of slot machines near the entrance. Most of the slot machines there are “linked” – meaning that they have special “bonuses” and you also have the chance of winning large jackpot prizes. One “linked” area is the “King of Sport.” At any time while you’re playing, the games may be suspended and you may be assigned a horse. All of the machines that have been assigned with horses will then engage in a “virtual horse race” – you will have the chance of winning as little as P3,000 and as large as P1,000,000.00 Another linked area is a train type of game.
Have you ever been to PAGCOR Davao? Curious about what’s going on inside this 24-hour casino in Davao City, Mindanao? If you haven’t yet, then allow this little write-up series to be your friendly, handy little guide of sorts to Casino Filipino Davao.

First of all, a little backgrounder. PAGCOR or the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation operates 13 PAGCOR branches and 25 exclusive PAGCOR Clubs. In fact, there’s another PAGCOR branch in Davao located at the Apo View Hotel but it’s a VIP Club. PAGCOR branches can be found in major cities across the country and these are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
PAGCOR DAVAO branch meanwhile is located at the Grand Regal Hotel in Lanang, Davao City, Philippines

How to get to PAGCOR Davao Casino Filipino – you can take a cab and just tell the driver to proceed to Grand Regal Hotel. From the airport, the hotel is around 5 minutes away. From the city proper, it’s about 15 minutes away. You can also take jeepneys that pass through the LANANG route.
Listen up, all you Havaianas fans! There’s a day-long treat in store for all of you in a Havaianas Beach Resort and Spa somewhere in Samal (or should I say Island Garden City of Samal – IGaCOS) Davao City, Mindanao…but only if you write a one-page essay stating why you love your Havaianas. You must email that essay along with three creative photos of you wearing your Havaianas pair/s to martish.marketing@gmail.com and if you’re lucky, you get to spend a whole day Havaianas adventure in Samal on March 21, 2009 (Saturday). Deadline for submission of entries is on March 14, 2009. By the way, winners, their friends and VIP media guests will be grouped into teams during the island event and the champion team will receive P20,000.00 cash. Exclusive Havaianas items will also be given away as minor prizes. Interested? Check out the poster below (CLICK on the poster for a larger view):
