The license of Resorts World Manila to operate casinos has been suspended by Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. The Pagcor board announced its decision a week after lone gunman Jessie Carlos stormed Resorts World and set ablaze gaming tables in the casino, triggering initial fears of a terror attack.
“Pacgor hereby suspends the provisional license to operate casinos and other gaming facilities issued to Travellers’ International Hotel Group Incorporated doing business under the name and style of Resorts World Manila (RWM),” – Pagcor CEO Andrea Domingo and Chairman Alfredo Lim said in a letter sent to RWM president Kingson Sian.
A gunman killed 37 people, including himself, in a heavily-armed attack on the casino in the early hours of Friday 2 June.
