Interblock Secures PAGCOR Approval for Battle for Earth Ahead of Q4 Manila Casino Launch
Interblock’s AMUSE Battle for Earth has gained PAGCOR approval for a Q4 2026 launch at a new Manila integrated resort casino. The UFO-themed crash game features real-time multipliers, 15-20 second cycles, and one or three betting fields on the Universal Cabinet. It forms part of wider AMUSE expansion including Macau clearance for Free Fall Roulette at Sands China properties.
SCCG Take — This approval equips an upcoming Philippine IR with a hybrid crash game that merges digital mechanics and physical hardware, giving operators a fresh electronic table option in a regulated market.
Electronic table games provider Interblock has obtained regulatory approval from the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp for its AMUSE Battle for Earth product. The item is scheduled to go live at a new integrated resort casino in Manila in the fourth quarter of 2026. Vincent Tang, Interblock’s vice president of sales for Asia Pacific, confirmed the clearance in comments to GGRAsia.
Tang said the new product had been approved and it “will go live during the opening of a new IR casino in Manila, Philippines, by the fourth quarter of 2026”. Interblock did not identify the specific Manila integrated resort. The under-development Westside Resort, in Manila’s Entertainment City, is due to open before the end of the year, according to its developers. The property is being built by Entertainment City Resorts Corp, involving Travellers International Hotel Group Inc., operator of Newport World Resorts.
Battle for Earth Product Details
Battle for Earth is described as a “crash game” combining online-style gameplay with a physical casino product. It has a UFO theme featuring cinematic scenes and changing environments. Multipliers increase in real time during each round, with players able to cash out at any point before the game ends. Game cycles last between 15 and 20 seconds on average.
The product can offer one or three betting fields. It is built on Interblock’s Universal Cabinet platform.
Asian Market Rollout Progress
The Philippines approval is part of a broader rollout of Interblock’s AMUSE products in Asia. The company has also received regulatory clearance in Macau for “Free Fall Roulette”. That product is making its Asian debut at three Sands China Ltd-operated casino properties around the October Golden Week holiday period.
