Philippines – PAGCOR suggests using double-width poker tables
By Phil - 12 February 2021
Philippine gaming regulator PAGCOR has suggested to operators that they use double-width poker tables to be able to seat more players.
PAGCOR sent a memo to casino executives saying they would be allowed to join two poker tables together to help resume operations.
The memo stated: “Poker Operators shall be allowed to refurbish, widen and/or customise their poker tables accordingly to further increase its seating capacity subject to the same conditions above, including assembling at maximum two existing poker tables into one to form a larger single poker table that shall count as one active table.”
Chairs can be placed one metre apart and acrylic screens must be installed between each player.
