DigiPlus Interactive Corp launched five games inspired by the Filipino film franchise Shake, Rattle & Roll on Thursday 22 October 2026, initially available on its [BingoPlus](/casino) platform. The new slots and themed titles — "Manananggal", "Reyna Ahas", "Triple Terror", "LRT Monster" and "Aswang" — are part of a partnership with the local production company [Regal Entertainment Inc.](/b2b) and will be introduced in phases on the group’s other platforms, [ArenaPlus](/news) and GameZone.
Product and rollout
All five titles landed on BingoPlus on 22 October 2026, DigiPlus said in its statement. The company said subsequent rollouts to ArenaPlus and GameZone will be staggered, without providing exact dates for each platform.
Local content strategy
DigiPlus presented the collaboration as a step to expand its catalogue of proprietary and locally developed content, leveraging established properties from Filipino entertainment. Ray DeGuzman, head of localisation at DigiPlus, told the press the company secured rights to two additional intellectual properties for development in 2027. DeGuzman said the first IP will generate at least nine games in Q1 2027, while titles based on the second IP would start publishing in Q2; he offered no further details.
DeGuzman added that DigiPlus expected to launch more than 30 localized games this year, with the possibility of increasing to “perhaps 60 games” in 2027, stressing that the latter figure was an aspiration rather than a firm target. He noted that slots will continue to represent around 80% of the company’s localized content development effort, although the business is also exploring other formats such as arcade-style games and a locally themed crash game scheduled for December.
Folklore integration and official statements
The Shake, Rattle & Roll franchise, whose first film premiered in 1984, is one of the longest-running horror series in the Philippines and bases its stories on creatures from Philippine mythology and folklore, the statement said. On the creative process, DeGuzman explained:
"The key is to take folklore, fiction or history and then try to develop a game mechanic," Ray DeGuzman said.
In prepared remarks, Eusebio Tanco, chairman of DigiPlus, said the collaboration with Regal Entertainment aims to strengthen the content portfolio and broaden the digital offering: "By combining the producer’s creative legacy with DigiPlus’s digital capabilities and local market knowledge, we create new opportunities to bring Filipino entertainment into the digital space," Tanco said. Roselle Monteverde, president of Regal Entertainment, added that the alliance opens "a new chapter for the franchise" by taking its creative legacy into digital entertainment while preserving narrative and cultural identity.
