Red Dragon Poker Lands On Philippines’ Shores 


The poker industry in Philippines is about to explode! The Red Dragon Poker lands on Philippine shores breathing fire into the poker scene to boost players into action. Located at the 3rd floor of Casino Filipino Malate, the Red Dragon Poker Room will have 16 live gaming action tables offering exciting promos and non-stop cash game action at any limit that players want to play. It will predominantly offer the standard limits of Php10-Php20 blinds up to Php1000-Php2000 blinds, shockingly, with the lowest rake schedule in the local industry. 

They will also be introducing world-class technology never used in the country. To play their live games, players will be using a state-of-the-art software application called Poker Atlas that will facilitate convenience in registering for cash games and live tournaments. 

Red Dragon Co-Director of Poker Operations Mike Ward said, “One of the largest innovations we’re bringing in is the Poker Atlas app also called the Table Captain. This is integrated with our poker room, so instead of calling in and waiting for someone to pick up, you just have to open the app on your phone, see all the active live games and tournaments and check how many people are listed. You will be able to add your name, so while you’re traveling, the line will get shorter and as you arrive all you have to do is sit down and enjoy your game.”

Apart from providing ease of registration, the Poker Atlas app will also be able to track a player’s game time which will earn him Dragon points that can be exchanged for premium goods. “We’re building a program where points accumulated can buy food, beverages, tournament tickets and a lot of different things,” Mike Ward said. 

Red Dragon Poker’s plans don’t end with the magnificent poker room. They plan to create The Red Dragon Poker Tour that will start in Manila with 5 or more grand events then travel throughout Asia culminating in the exhilarating Red Dragon Championship which will see an impressive US$5,000-US$10,000 buy-in event.

“Being located inside Casino Filipino Malate, we can accommodate a 100 table event for our Red Dragon Championship. But with this much space, we welcome other brands to come to Manila and hold their events in our venue as well. Our goal is to be the poker destination in Asia.” 

The powerhouse pushing this vision is Mike Ward, former Pokerstars Global Head of Live Events, who has been in the industry since 1992 and who is known for running some of the largest events in the world, like the US$25,000 Pokerstars Championship Event in the Bahamas. He is supported by industry experts Senior Live Events manager Christine Sou who boasts 5 years of expertise in the industry. 

Christine Sou has organized and marketed prestigious events like the Macau Poker Cup (MPC), Asia Championship of Poker (ACOP), and Pokerstars championship to ensure the highest customer experience. Making sure the room is one of the best in the world is Red Dragon Poker Room Manager Juan de Jesus who has more than 20 years of experience in the industry running 100 table events, like the WPT and the WSOP at the Foxwoods Resorts Casino. He will bring a Las Vegas style poker room to Manila where the deal is fast and accurate and customer service is par excellence.
