Casino Plus Pays Out Historic ₱122.4-M Jackpot in Full, Reinforcing Player-First Commitment

MANILA, Philippines, 08 SEPTEMBER 2026 — Casino Plus, one of the country’s leading responsible digital entertainment platforms licensed by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), has once again demonstrated why it remains the country's most trusted online gaming destination — this time, with the seamless, secure payout of a historic ₱122,409,603 jackpot, the biggest verified jackpot in Philippine slot machine history.

The landmark payout underscores more than the sheer size of the record-breaking win. It demonstrates Casino Plus’ commitment to ensuring that legitimate player winnings are verified, processed, and paid securely and in full, in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.

In an industry where players often worry as much about withdrawals as they do about winning, Casino Plus has anchored its platform on verifiable protection rather than promises.

At the center of this commitment is a ₱1-billion surety bond secured through PhilFirst Insurance — a legally binding financial guarantee that safeguards player funds and ensures the platform operates within the regulatory framework of PAGCOR. Unlike marketing assurances, a surety bond is an enforceable instrument: it stands as a financial backstop for players, backed by an independent insurer.

This layer of protection reflects a broader philosophy of financial discipline, transparency, and accountability.

Asked about why the jackpot winner chose Casino Plus, the winner, dubbed as "Dragon King" said, "Mabilis 'yung withdrawal, mabait 'yung mga staff, 'pag may mga concern sa 'yo, mabilis agad sila sumagot."

"'Yung customer service nila is good.  Sabi ko, dito na lang ako maglalaro kesa sa maghanap ako ng iba. Na-enjoy ko talaga sa Casino Plus, and maayos, parang in order 'yung system,"
he added.

The winner also urged other players to be responsible and be disciplined when it comes to playing.

"'Wag mong piliting manalo. Hindi natin alam kung kailan ibibigay, kung talagang para sa 'yo, ibibigay. So 'yun, mag-set ka ng limit sa sarili. Actually maganda naman sya magpalipas ng oras, personal lang, syempre," added the Dragon King.

For the gaming platform, the record jackpot represents both a historic player win and an important operational milestone—demonstrating the platform's capacity to process one of the largest verified online gaming payouts in the country's history.

During his speech at the jackpot ceremony, Casino Plus CEO Evan Spytma emphasized the gaming platform's player-centric mentality and its  mission to create fun and memorable experiences.

"That's really what we're here to create. In our platform, we guarantee that every single game that is played is fair, safe, and our withdrawals are always super fast," said Spytma."I think it bears worthwhile saying that all of the players at Casino Plus are always going to be having a great time. They're gaming responsibly, and they're always gaming within a relatively fixed, a measured amount of bets and that's really important. Responsible gaming is extremely important to us," he added.
