The fun never stops at Casino Filipino Angeles

Casino Filipino (CF) Angeles, the three-decade old Kapampangan-themed gaming facility is taking its entertainment and gaming offerings to a new level as it launches its new tagline, “We Never Stop” last July 18 at Casino Filipino Angeles. The launch were graced by CF Branch Manager Redentor Rivera, Emar F. De Guzman, slot machine department head, and Erlinda M. Yenko, senior branch admin manager for marketing, entertainment and bingo and PAGCOR AVP for Entertainment and Bingo Department Bong Quintana.

CF Angeles  Main has 43 gaming tables and 412 slot machines.  It has two satellites – one in Mimosa inside Clark, the other at Oriental Pavilion in Guiguinto, Bulacan and a VIP Club in Leisure World in Bacolor , Pampanga. Bingo sessions are being conducted in the branch twice every day. The bingo area can accommodate 1,000 to 1,200 guests.

Casino Filipino (CF) Angeles began its operation in 1986 in a small restaurant in Dau, Mabalacat, Pampanga (the former Golden Dynasty). A year after, the the casino was relocated to Angeles City’s Balibago Entertainment Strip.  When Mt. Pinatubo erupted in 1991, the entertainment strip was buried in volcanic ash and debris. The area was deserted and several businesses in the area ceased to operate including CF Angeles. Despite the devastation, CF Angeles was the first to rise in cooperation with Mr. Ramon Tang of Century Resort Hotel. Being back in business, CF Angeles contributed largely in stimulating again the economy in the area. In 2003, CF Angeles moved to its new home, a newly constructed Kapampangan-themed building within the complex of Century Hotel, where it is still currently located.

Branch Manager Redentor Rivera said the new tagline best sums up what CF Angeles could offer to its clients. “It is a reflection of who we are because we never stop providing our clients with the best that we can give. We want our clients to see that we never stop delivering the best service; we never stop improving our facilities and we will never stop giving our customers, patrons and guests exciting surprises,” he said.

Rivera added that they have been planning to upgrade CF Angeles since 2013. “Since then, we have done improvements in terms of amenities and facilities to provide a more relaxing and entertaining venue for our customers,” he said.

The recent improvements done by the branch included the installation of a new water-cooled air-conditioning system, a newly opened restaurant at the 2nd floor, setting up of a giant back-to-back LED wall in front of the casino building, the construction of a multi-level parking area, sprucing up the gaming venues and updating computer systems and equipment to better serve its patrons.

CF Angeles also beefed up its entertainment offerings by holding crowd-drawing celebrity shows.
“Guided by our tagline, ‘We Never Stop’, we have set our goal to transform CF Angeles into a one-stop-venue for gaming, leisure and entertainment in the North. Our goal is to go beyond client expectation. We want them to experience more than just gaming. We want our patrons to be able to watch top-notch celebrity performances, which are free most of the time,” Rivera enthused.

Part of the branch’s bigger entertainment offerings include big celebrities like Anne Curtis, Martin Nievera, Erik Santos, Richard Poon, Jose Mari Chan, Aiza Seguerra, Ariel Rivera, Aljur Abrenica, Antoinette Taus, Ray Ann Fuentes, Tillie Moreno, Top Suzara, Jinky Vidal, Sitti Navarro, Jimmy Bondoc, Freddie Aguilar, Sheryn Regis, Ellen Adarna and Sam Pinto during the second half of 2015.

“Our patrons can look forward to great music and entertainment. It’s not always easy to book a schedule with big celebrities like our guest performers. But we have taken our entertainment offerings to a new level so our patrons will be able to experience what other gaming and entertainment venues have been offering,” Rivera explained.

“With these upcoming shows by famous celebrities, we will surely attract huge crowd including the millennial market or the yuppies who are avid supporters of these performers,” the CF Angeles head added.

Apart from celebrity shows and improved facilities, the branch also offers more exciting gaming events, such as the bingo sessions which are now being held daily to accommodate different market segments.

Another value-added service of the branch is the provision of shuttle services for its patrons from different parts of Northern Luzon including Nueva Ecija, Pangasinan and Baguio.

“Currently, we only have a free 24/7 shuttle service for Korean players in Pampanga. But soon, we will provide more accessible modes of transportation for our local guests,” Rivera said.

He added that with all these improved services, “casino guests from Northern Luzon need not go to Metro Manila to enjoy and be entertained because they could already find what they are looking for here in CF Angeles.”

Rivera stressed that CF Angeles will ensure it maintains its competitive edge over other casinos by employing a more personalized approach in meeting the needs of their patrons. “We owe our competitive advantage to our greatest asset – our employees. Because of them, CF Angeles continues to be the market leader in gaming and entertainment in Pampanga,” Rivera said.
