Casino resort developer Hann Holdings Inc. (HHI) is strengthening its presence in the online gaming market, with plans to team up with a global entertainment and gaming company for new online initiatives.
The move complements HHI’s ongoing expansion of its integrated resort and casino in Central Luzon.
“As part of our expansion initiatives into the online gaming space, we intend to partner with a global entertainment and gaming company to roll out our online gaming initiatives,” HHI said in a prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for its planned initial public offering.
“We intend to redefine the gaming landscape by offering a blend of brick-and-mortar gaming and online gaming,” it said.
HHI said it started rolling out online gaming through its unified platform, Hann Live Online. As of end-March 2025, the platform featured 103 random number games, remote live table games and online slot machines.
The company, through its subsidiary Hann Philippines Inc., received authorization to engage in Philippine Inland Gaming Operators (PIGO) activities from the Philippine Gaming and Amusement Corp. on March 25, 2024, enabling its expansion into remote gaming within the Philippines.
HHI plans to have around 500 e-casino games by end-2025 and intends to integrate its online and offline gaming offerings.
“We intend to increase our market penetration by capturing the upward trend in the online gaming market in the Philippines,” HHI said.
“We continue to actively explore business opportunities for the integration of online gaming services into our business model, which will enable us to provide our existing patrons with alternative gaming platforms that are leading the gaming landscape,” it said.
The casino resort operator filed an IPO application with the SEC on Friday, seeking to raise up to P13 billion to fund its expansion plans.
Subject to regulatory approval, HHI plans to hold its maiden share offering in September.
HHI owns Hann Casino Resort in Clark, Pampanga and the upcoming Hann Reserve.
