|September 22, 2025
Newport World Resorts, owned and operated by Travellers International Hotel Group Inc., the leisure and tourism arm of Andrew Tan’s Alliance Global Group Inc., plans to further scale up its online gaming presence amid the growing popularity of electronic gaming in the country.
“We're looking at online. Different strategies in terms of leveraging our development there. So not just like having one. We're looking at several,” Travellers International and Newport World Resorts president and CEO Nilo Thaddeus Rodriguez said.
Newport World Resorts has been strengthening its online gaming system and platform to be able to compete in the country’s booming online gaming segment.
In recognition of the increasing popularity of e-gaming in the country, Travellers earlier launched Newport World Casino Online that offers players the experience of live casino games, including slots, blackjack, baccarat and roulette on a digital platform.
Newport World Casino Online is available exclusively to qualified Newport World Resorts members.
