A ₱76 Spin to ₱53.9 Million: Casino Plus Reports Latest Multi-Million Payout Following Billion-Peso Milestones

MANILA, Philippines, 10 AUGUST 2026 — Casino Plus, one of the country’s leading responsible digital entertainment platforms licensed by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), has confirmed its latest major jackpot payout: ₱53,913,617 won on the slot title Bao Zhu Zhao Fu.

The verified jackpot was won on August 7, 2026, when a Casino Plus player transformed a single ₱76 wager into a ₱53.9 million jackpot. The win ranks among the operator’s highest individual single-spin payouts recorded in the third quarter of 2026, highlighting the scale of prizes available from relatively modest wagers on the platform.

"This ₱53.9 million jackpot demonstrates Casino Plus' commitment to delivering exciting and transparent gaming experiences for millions of Filipino players," said Evan Spytma, Chief Executive Officer of Casino Plus. "A ₱76 bet turning into nearly ₱54 million demonstrates that life-changing wins can happen to anyone, on any spin. We congratulate our lucky winner, and we're proud that every jackpot on Casino Plus is fully processed and paid out under PAGCOR's regulatory standards—that trust is the foundation of everything we do."

This latest payout builds directly on Casino Plus’s broader strategy of strengthening governance, liquidity, and customer engagement across the country's regulated digital entertainment sector.

Over the past eight months, Casino Plus has achieved three major operational milestones that reinforce its position as one of the Philippines' leading regulated online casino platforms: the ₱1-billion PhilFirst Surety Bond Protection Program launched in December 2025, over ₱1 billion in payouts distributed during Q2 2026, and the "Winsday Billion Drop" campaign launched in late July 2026.

The ₱1 billion in cleared Q2 distributions featured major wins across popular titles, including the historic ₱271.4-million Color Game payout won by “Angel” in April, an ₱84.55-million Jin Ji Bao Xi Gold win by “Hope,” and a ₱27.4-million Pula Puti jackpot from a ₱5 bet.

Casino Plus offers Filipino players a wide selection of online casino games, including slots, live casino titles, and progressive jackpot games, alongside promotions, VIP rewards, and a secure gaming experience. As a PAGCOR-licensed operator, Casino Plus remains committed to responsible gaming and encourages all players to play within their means.

Gaming access, meanwhile, is governed by mandatory Age Verification and Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols to ensure a safe, compliant environment.

RESPONSIBLE GAMING ADVISORY

In accordance with PAGCOR’s Responsible Gaming Code of Practice, Casino Plus wishes to remind all players of the following:

Gaming is for entertainment purposes only. It should not be considered a source of income or a means of financial relief. Players are encouraged to play responsibly and within their means.

Winning is never guaranteed. All gaming outcomes are determined by chance. Past results, including jackpot wins, do not influence or predict future outcomes.

Keepital Joins Livestock & Aquaculture Philippines 2026 to Support Industry Growth

 

Livestock & Aquaculture Philippines 2026 showcased how innovation, collaboration, and digital visibility are shaping the future of the industry. By Shelby Garcia, Business Development Associate

Livestock & Aquaculture Philippines 2026 once again brought together businesses, suppliers, industry experts, and professionals from across the livestock and aquaculture sectors. Returning for its second year, Keepital joined the exhibition to connect with exhibitors and demonstrate how businesses can continue building visibility beyond the event through digital solutions and online discoverability.

Throughout the exhibition, Keepital showcased its B2B marketplace, SEO services, and industry directories to businesses looking to strengthen their online visibility. Visitors also learned about Asia Marine Hub, the recently launched digital directory for Maps & Globe Specialists’ marine trade network that extends the visibility of marine industry exhibitors beyond trade shows, demonstrating how specialized platforms can help suppliers and buyers stay connected long after trade show interactions end.

Beyond the exhibition floor, Livestock & Aquaculture Philippines featured seminars and forums covering livestock innovation, aquaculture, biosecurity, AI, animal welfare, sustainability, and modern farming technologies. Sessions led by government agencies, universities, and industry experts highlighted how technology and innovation continue shaping the future of Philippine agriculture.

The discussions reflected an industry increasingly driven by innovation, sustainability, and digital transformation. As businesses continue improving their operations, digital visibility is becoming just as important as product and technology development. These conversations aligned closely with Keepital’s own direction of helping businesses adapt to a market where visibility, credibility, and digital readiness are becoming increasingly important.

With the regional edition of Livestock Philippines heading to Cebu on November 11-13, 2026, the event continues to create opportunities for businesses to connect with new markets and industry partners. Keepital looks forward to supporting more companies as they expand their reach and strengthen their presence across Southeast Asia.

Avie Marucot: Where Old Hollywood Glamour Meets a Sustainable New Era

 As a quiet student, Avie Marucot found her earliest form of self-expression in the pages of her notebooks, where she would sketch princess gowns and dream up silhouettes of her own. What began as a simple pastime gradually became the foundation of a creative language—one rooted in femininity, imagination, and the timeless allure of fashion.

Years later, that childhood fascination culminated in The Maiden, Avie’s debut fashion collection, presented on July 15, 2026, in Antipolo City.

The title The Maiden speaks to beginnings—the first chapter of a new creative journey, and the enduring magic of experiencing something for the very first time. For Avie, a first collection is more than a debut; it is a moment meant to be remembered.

Drawing inspiration from the glamour of 1950s Old Hollywood, Avie reinterprets the era’s romance and sophistication through a contemporary lens. The collection balances nostalgia with modern wearability, bringing dramatic silhouettes and feminine details into a fresh, distinctly personal aesthetic.

Among the collection’s highlights is a white lace tulle gown adorned with delicate blue floral appliqués, an ethereal statement that captured attention with its romantic elegance while remaining surprisingly wearable. Another look plays with contrast through an inverted black-and-white ball gown skirt, elevated with black floral appliqués. Editorial yet versatile, the piece demonstrates Avie’s interest in transforming classic eveningwear into something more unexpected.

Completing the collection is a mermaid skirt paired with organza and a black lace corset, embracing a darker, more dramatic interpretation of femininity. Together, the pieces create a collection that moves effortlessly between romantic, theatrical, and contemporary.

Yet beneath the glamour lies a deeper philosophy.

Sustainability is central to Avie’s approach to fashion. Every piece in The Maiden was created using deadstock fabrics—materials given a new life rather than left to become part of the growing problem of textile waste.

For Avie, sustainability does not mean sacrificing beauty. Instead, it invites a different kind of creativity: one that considers the story of a fabric before it becomes a garment, and where it might go after.

She believes that beautiful materials deserve more than a single moment. Leftover fabrics can become future garments, accessories, or entirely new creative projects. Through repurposing and thoughtful design, Avie hopes to create fashion that is not only visually compelling but also conscious of its environmental footprint.

From the quiet sketches of a young dreamer to the debut of a fully realized collection, The Maiden marks the beginning of Avie Marucot’s fashion story—one where timeless glamour, modern femininity, and sustainability find their place on the same runway.
