Metro Card Club

Discover Metro Card Club: Premier Poker in the Philippines

Widely regarded as the home of the Philippine poker scene, the Metro Card Club remains the country’s go-to destination for local poker enthusiasts with Filipinos taking up ~90% of its player base. Born from the vision of a small group of poker lovers back in 2007, this pioneering club was the first brick-and-mortar poker establishment in the Philippines located outside a casino, consistently leading the local scene’s growth ever since.

Today, Metro Card Club is renowned for its nonstop action, offering a plethora of cash games from low-stakes tables to VIP-level play. Its great value offerings of daily tournaments and modest buy-in monthly specials are what keeps its regular clientele from going back to the tables.

Just last November 2024, the Club officially reopened its doors after a significant upgrade, now boasting 35 tables, improved seating, modern lighting, and state-of-the-art facilities. Beyond the felt, thoughtful touches enhance the overall player experience, which include a billiards table, a convenient in-house bar, and a VIP room where all the high-stakes action takes place.
