Winford Resort to debut Manila's first junket and VIP club in partnership with 888 Horsemen

Winford Resort and Casino Manila is set to unveil a new VIP and junket club in collaboration with 888 Horsemen Group Inc., following a formal agreement signed between the two companies on March 18, 2025.

The partnership aims to enhance high-end gaming experiences in the capital and attract elite players both locally and internationally. The addition is described as Manila’s first luxury junket and VIP club.

According to an official statement, the new VIP gaming facility will be located at the resort’s main concourse and will feature high-stakes gaming tables, state-of-the-art electronic gaming machines, and private lounges.

The launch marks a new phase in Winford’s ongoing transformation project, which includes the redevelopment of its third and fourth floors into a premium gaming hub. A soft opening is scheduled for May.

888 Horsemen Group President Jackson Chua Jr. described the collaboration as a significant milestone for the region’s luxury gaming market. “Partnering with Winford Resorts allows us to create an elite gaming experience that blends world-class service with exclusive, high-stakes entertainment. This marks a new era for Manila’s luxury gaming scene,” he said.

Winford President Jeffrey Evora echoed that sentiment, stating: “This partnership elevates our position as a premier gaming destination, allowing us to attract distinguished guests and offer an unparalleled luxury gaming experience. We look forward to welcoming more distinguished guests and offering them top-tier gaming and hospitality.”

The companies said the initiative is intended not only to strengthen Winford’s VIP segment but also to contribute to the goals of tourism development and the evolution of the casino experience in the Philippines. Through offering a high-end, curated environment, the new club is expected to appeal to discerning players seeking privacy, exclusivity, and tailored services.
