The Boracay casino, in short
Boracay's only casino is KABAN Hotel and Casino, which soft-opened on 16 September 2026. It is the first casino to operate on the island after nearly a decade of proposals, a presidential veto and a six-month closure.
Where is the casino?
At Station 0 in Barangay Yapak, at the northern end of the island, a short land transfer from the White Beach stations. It is part of Golden TW Realty and Development Corp.'s 23-hectare development.
Who can enter?
Guests aged 21 and over with a government-issued photo ID. A passport works for most international visitors. Gaming follows responsible gaming rules.
What is inside?
A casino floor of about 2,000 square metres with table games, slot machines and electronic gaming, alongside an 88-room hotel, restaurants, a spa, a pool deck and a Skybar.
Are more casinos coming?
A boutique casino has been proposed inside Boracay Newcoast, and more small casinos are expected on the island. None has a published opening date yet.
Is this the casino's website?
No. BoracayCasinos.com is an independent tracker, not affiliated with KABAN or any operator. Facts on this site are linked to public sources.

Still a beach island first
White Beach, paraw sailing at sunset and island hopping are why people come. A gaming floor is one more thing to do after dark.
