Casino Plus Makes History with ₱102.5 Million Jackpot – The Largest Online Baccarat Pay Out in Philippine History

 Casino Plus has set a historic benchmark for the Philippine gaming industry by awarding a record-breaking ₱102,576,582.94 Baccarat jackpot shared among 11 lucky players. This landmark payout stands as the largest Baccarat prize ever awarded in the country, reinforcing Casino Plus’ leadership in the gaming sector.

This unprecedented payout not only marks a new chapter in Philippine gaming but also underscores Casino Plus’ market-leading position. According to one market observer, “Casino Plus has surpassed almost ₱3 billion in total jackpot payouts since early 2024—the highest among all casinos in the Philippines—clearly setting itself apart from competitors.”

Celebrating this historic event, Casino Plus hosted an exclusive press conference in Clark, attended by over 40 prominent media outlets and livestreamed across the nation. The event showcased the jackpot winners and introduced groundbreaking Baccarat enhancements that aim to position Casino Plus where Biggest Online Jackpots in the Philippines are won.

“Ito na ‘yun! Panalo na ako, makakabili na kami ng lupa.”

Among the lucky winners was a player who, through sheer chance, turned a modest ₱100 bet into a surprising ₱7.5 million jackpot. Overwhelmed with emotion, she shared, “The first thing that came to mind was finally buying land for my mother and building our own home. We used to live with my aunt and even borrowed rice just to get by. This experience reminded me that luck can strike unexpectedly—and for that, I’m incredibly grateful.”

The biggest highlight of the night was a staggering ₱30 million jackpot won by another player who reflected, “At first, I thought it was a glitch. Casino Plus showed me that gaming is really for everyone—it’s about the thrill, the fun, and the unexpected moments that come with every spin.”

These stories reflect the excitement and unpredictability of games of chance—where outcomes are never guaranteed and wins come from luck, not skill. Casino Plus reinforces that online gaming is a form of entertainment, never a financial strategy or livelihood. We strongly advocate responsible gaming, where fun and self-control go hand in hand.

Jackpot Growth

For every bets wagered on side bets, a portion of that bet contributes to the jackpot pool. As more players join, the jackpot grows in real time and can be randomly triggered during any eligible round—regardless of bet amount. The recent ₱102.5 million jackpot, shared among 11 lucky winners, proves that even a ₱25 bet could qualify for the next big win. With jackpots growing fast and striking unexpectedly, every round could be the one.

Upcoming Features

With jackpots continually reaching new heights, Casino Plus has also focused on significantly upgrading the overall gaming experience. The platform will soon introduce a series of innovative Baccarat features to deliver even more exciting and strategic possibilities to players.

• VIP Private Tables: Soon-to-be-launched premium, invite-only tables featuring private dealers, customizable betting limits, exclusive VIP rooms, and a mic chat support feature with the dealer.
• Good Trends: An advanced, trend-based analytical tool offering real-time gameplay winning strategy insights.
• Multi-Table Betting Mode: Allows players to engage simultaneously with multiple live Baccarat tables from a single screen, enhancing strategic betting opportunities and excitement.

Exclusive VIP Experiences

Casino Plus announced exclusive VIP events dedicated solely to Baccarat enthusiasts, offering prestige-driven experiences and unmatched privileges tailored to reward player loyalty and status.

“Pushing Boundaries—Casino Plus Aspires to Offer the Largest Online Jackpots in the Philippines”

“This unprecedented ₱102 million Baccarat jackpot is a testament to our commitment to transparency, fairness, and continuous innovation,” said Evan, CEO of Casino Plus. “It reflects our vision of becoming the go-to platform for the biggest online jackpots in the Philippines.”

Casino Plus is a premier online gaming platform offering a wide variety of exciting games, including live Baccarat, the first live online Color Game in the Philippines, and many more. Known for its user-friendly interface, secure and responsible gaming environment, and dedicated customer support, Casino Plus remains focused on delivering thrilling yet safe gaming experiences as it works toward setting the benchmark for online jackpots in the country.

When asked about his reaction to winning, the lucky player couldn’t contain his shock:

“The first thing I did was count all the 9s. I’m not good at math, so I wasn’t sure if I was getting the figure right. Then I assessed myself—do I need to be rushed to the emergency room? Because when I realized the 9 wasn’t just 9 million but 99 million, I couldn’t breathe. That’s the truth.” said the winner.

This breathtaking moment further cements Casino Plus as the premier destination for Live Slots, following the historic ₱303M Color Game jackpot in 2024 and reinforcing its legacy of game-changing moments.

“And it wasn’t just one big winner—302 jackpot prizes of at least ₱1 million were awarded by Casino Plus in 2024 alone, meaning millionaires were made almost every day across Color Game, online Live Slots, Baccarat, and more. In fact, Color Game alone paid out over ₱1 billion in jackpot prizes last year,”

Young Filipinos explore the world of taste with Pepsi

Much has been said about Gen Z and the characteristics that set them apart from older cohorts. In general, those born between 1997 and 2012 are digital natives who are empowered multi-taskers and always up for an adventure. With less restrictions to mobility, Gen Z are among the first to embrace the return to travel and exploration, especially with friends.

Gen Z Filipinos, like others in their age group, are driven by their quest for identity and authenticity; thus their penchant for exciting, memorable experiences.
After the community lockdowns, they have proven to be keen in testing their boundaries through new pursuits.

In keeping with the times, Pepsi has kept its thumb on the pulse of the youth. The global well-loved beverage brand encourages young, optimistic Filipinos to celebrate living in the now by showcasing shared moments of togetherness in the spirit of discovery.  Pepsi is helping the Filipino youth discover their new personal dining favorites through food adventures and exploration.

“Regardless of the tongue-in-cheek generational stereotypes, Gen Z refuses to be classified into any hard-and-fast boxes. Pepsi remains a prime mover in inspiring the youth to go out of their comfort zones and make new memories through food and drink,” said Frederick D. Ong, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pepsi-Cola Products Philippines, Inc. (PCPPI), the exclusive manufacturer of PepsiCo beverages in the country.

“For decades, Pepsi has been a refreshing companion to Filipino food favorites—from pizza and pasta to grilled meat and barbecues. We aim to complement the Pinoy palate, especially that of Gen Z foodies, as they define their tastes as they go out and experience the world of taste for themselves,” Ong added.

PCPPI is the exclusive manufacturer of PepsiCo beverages in the country. Other than Pepsi, it distributes well-loved brands such as Mountain Dew, 7-Up, Mirinda, Mug, Gatorade, Sting, Tropicana, Lipton Iced Tea, Milkis, Chum Churum Soonhari, and Premier Purified Water.

STUDENT-CHEFS COLLABORATE WITH WORLD-RENOWNED CHEF DONOVAN COOKE FOR AMAH RESTAURANT’S 14-COURSE DINNER

This coming April 22 and 23, 2023, Chef Jose Villareal of Amah Restaurant in Taguig City will lead his team of fellow student-chefs for a dream collaboration with Chef Donovan Cooke from Melbourne, Australia.

The 2-night dinner event will feature 14 specially-curated gourmet courses from Chef Donovan’s menu, to be prepared by Chef Jose and his Amah team, under the supervision of Chef Donovan himself. Highlighting the intimate and private ambiance of the restaurant, as well as to ensure proper service of the exclusive menu, the dinner will be served in two covers following pre-event cocktails for each night. The first cover will be from 5:30pm to 8:30pm, and the second cover will be from 9:00pm until 12 midnight.

“This is such an honor for Amah and a great treat for our clientele,” Chef Jose shares. “We are so excited to have this opportunity to actually work in the same kitchen as Chef Donovan and to have him guide us as we prepare dishes he developed. It’s definitely going to be a major milestone for all of us at Amah. And our guests for those two nights will be so lucky for the experience that’s in store.”

Chef Donovan Cooke is just as excited about the dinner event. “These young chefs are very dedicated and passionate about their craft. They could have taken it easy during the pandemic, found an excuse to just lay around and rest like many of us did during the lockdowns. But they forged ahead because they’re all determined to continue learning and honing their talents. It’s my privilege to be one of their mentors, to encourage them as they make their marks in the
business.”

Amah Restaurant first opened its doors to the public in 2021, but is already quickly becoming popular among foodies and food vloggers due to its delicious and unique homestyle Filipino- Chinese dishes. The young chefs make it a point to use local ingredients and put their own unique twists to heirloom recipes. The venue itself is a hidden gem within Taguig City, begging for repeat visits because guests are treated to a magnificent view of the Makati and BGC cityscapes. Sunsets are definitely amazing on the upper roofdeck, making it a favorite for engagement proposals, anniversaries, and other special occasions.
