The first casino and hotel in Southeast Asia, Thunderbird Resorts - Rizal, was opened on April 11, 2005 by Thunderbird’s subsidiary, Eastbay Resorts Inc.

Thunderbird Resorts - Rizal is situated in the town of Binangonan of the Rizal province. This resort is a short drive from downtown Manila and is located on a scenic lake view property that creates the perfect getaway for local Filipinos as well as visiting Asian players seeking a golf, hotel, restaurant, and gaming experience. The lure of Thunderbird Resorts - Rizal is that it's unlike any casino in the Philippines because of its unique offering that includes a hotel, themed restaurants, and a golf resort complex.

In a very short time, Eastbay Resorts Inc. has proven its expertise in Casino and Hotel Management with the following achievements:

Fiesta Casino at Thunderbird Resorts - Rizal is the first private casino in the sector to service both local and foreign markets.

• Thunderbird Resorts - Rizal offers Thunderbird’s first hotel in the Philippines that has 43 suites (Phase I).
• Thunderbird Resorts - Rizal adjoins an 18-hole championship calibre golf course that has 200 members, which allows the casino operation to offer golf to its patrons.

A year after in April 2006, Fiesta Casino at Poro Point was opened for business.  Fiesta Casino at Poro Point offers a luxurious, fine dining experience and live entertainment. Thunderbird Resorts is building a 40-room luxury hotel in Poro Point that is adjacent to a 9-hole, all-weather golf course with signature holes by the cliff-side.  Ten out of these forty suites will be open for vacation ownership.  Thunderbird Resorts - Poro Point will open in the first quarter of 2008.

To date, Thunderbird Resorts - Rizal and Fiesta Casinos in both Rizal & Poro Point have surpassed management expectations as entry points into the Southeast Asia region, proving that each of the resort properties has tremendous opportunities for expansion.
