This is because Hann Casino Resort, which used to be the Widus Hotel and Casino did not depend on junket operators to boost its revenue.  <\/p>\n<h2>Online Gambling To The Rescue<\/h2>\n<p>Hann is focusing on building up business in the newly opened resort which opened its doors to the public on December 15. However, the travel restrictions connected with COVID are a big problem for its growth as of now.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, the casino offers access through online gambling. The resort has an online casino license from the <strong>Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp<\/strong> (PAGCOR) that allows it to offer online casino games. Domestic customers, which means Filipino gamblers, are also included in the license so the casino has a big audience.<\/p>\n<p>The big question is whether the casino will allow mainland Chinese residents to use these online gambling services. Hann stated that as long as PAGCOR allows it, then he sees nothing wrong with it. However, we will have to wait and see how China reacts to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/casinos\">online casinos<\/a> targeting Chinese gamblers in 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary Macau junket operators will look to smaller casino for business Hann Casino Resort open to new junket casino partnership Hann Casino Resort currently relying on online gambling to boost revenues Junket operators played a very important role in Macau and other Asia-Pacific casinos for a number of years.
