Gambling in Manila has been regulated since 1976 when the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) was created through Presidential Decree 1067.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Presidential Decree No. 1067-A )〕 Under its charter promulgated in 1983, the 100% state-owned PAGCOR, running under the direct supervision of the Office of the President, serves three crucial roles: to regulate and operate all games of chance in the country, particularly casino gaming; generate funds for the government's infrastructure and socio-civic projects; and boost local tourism.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Presidential Decree No. 1869, s. 1983 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Billion $ paradise – Manila stakes its claim )〕 Prior to 1976, illegal gambling dominated the Philippines as unlicensed casinos and underground bookmaking operations were opened across the country. Illegal forms of gambling included jueteng, masiao and ''last two''. Among the few lawful gambling activities in those days were church-organised bingo sessions and jai alai wagering at the Manila Jai Alai Building.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Betting in the Philippines )〕 In 1977, PAGCOR opened its first casino, The Manila Bay Casino, a floating casino which operated in all three decks of luxury liner ''MS Philippine Tourist'' off Manila Bay in partnership with the Philippine Casino Operators Corporation (PCOC) and Manila Bay Enterprises, Inc. (MBEI) which was majority owned by the ''Sociedade de Turismo e Diversões de Macau'' of casino magnate, Stanley Ho.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Philippine Gambling is 'Kept at Bay' )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Back in Business )〕 When a fire gutted the ship in 1979, PAGCOR shifted its operations to land-based casinos.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=G.R. No. 132929. March 27, 2000 )〕 By the end of that year, the Philippine Village Hotel built in 1974 at the old ''Nayong Pilipino'' complex adjacent to the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) became home to the city's first land-based casino.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About the Association of Human Resources Managers )〕 ==Casino gambling== Metro Manila currently has around twenty casinos, most of which are located near the Manila Bay area and the NAIA airport in Parañaque.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Economics and morals of gambling )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Philippines Casinos & Gambling )〕 Most casinos in the city are operated by PAGCOR under the ''Casino Filipino'' brand. Gambling in Manila now takes place primarily in luxury casino hotels and integrated resorts located in Entertainment City and Newport City under license from PAGCOR.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pagcor lowers license fees for operators )〕 The Casino Filipino Pavilion at the former Holiday Inn Manila Pavilion is Manila's oldest surviving casino which opened in 1986.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Casino Filipino Pavilion )〕 The city's largest stand-alone casino was Casino Filipino Airport housed in the PRIC Building on Ninoy Aquino Avenue formerly occupied by Duty Free Philippines until 1997 but was closed down in July 2014.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pagcor to shut down airport casino in July )〕 In 2009, Resorts World Manila, the Philippines' first integrated resort, was built on a portion of Villamor Air Base in Pasay across from NAIA Terminal 3. The city's newest casino is the $1.3-B City of Dreams Manila completed in December 2014 in Entertainment City, the second of four billion-dollar casinos to rise in Manila's gaming strip.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Manila prepares for City of Dreams opening )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gambling in Manila」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
