The prestigious Asia Gaming Awards took place on Tuesday, March 18, at Shangri-La The Fort in Manila and brought together key figures from the gaming industry to celebrate outstanding contributions and innovations.

One of the evening’s highlights was the presentation of the inaugural Regulatory Landmark Award, which recognizes excellence in compliance and oversight. It was awarded to Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco for his leadership in regulatory advancements.
The ceremony featured awards across nearly two dozen categories, honoring achievements in land-based and online gaming, compliance, slot and table game solutions, sports betting, electronic table games (ETGs), and industry leadership. Special attention was given to responsible gaming, sustainability, and compliance to reflect the changing nature of the industry.
