Wild Aces Poker Room was started by a group of poker enthusiasts who came together from playing regularly at house games. The Culiat Poker Tournament which is an annual Jaycee’s charity event that started in 2006 was one of the projects that were spun from the frequent house games. The International Sports Bar & Wild Orchid Hotel were selected due to their close proximity to the Fields Avenue.
Our primary target market are the tourists that frequent the bars of Fields Avenue in Balibago, Angeles City. Our goal is to have a poker room where people of different culture can interact and play a game of poker and also to provide the tourists a resort like ambience where they can expect to play a good game of poker, always feel welcome with our good Filipino hospitality and find a home away from home.
