Michelle Dee shares insights on self-discipline in Online Entertainment during Luxury Gaming event

All eyes were on actress, certified showstopper and Miss Universe Philippines 2023 Michelle Marquez Dee (MMD) as she took center stage at OKGames’ highly anticipated sub-brand event “OKFun Baccarat Master Series Tournament” held recently at City of Dreams Manila.

Themed “Mystique, Mystery, and Destiny” (also MMD), the luxury gaming event by OKGames proved to be a visual and sensory feast. Guests were welcomed with a stunning autumn fortune-themed setting. The atmosphere came alive during a night filled with games, aerial performances, and engaging side activities. The design reimagined the traditional gaming experience, transforming it into a visual journey that celebrated both prosperity and change, where turning leaves symbolized the ever-shifting flow of fortune.

It was an avant garde ethereal forest brought to life, blending mystical nature with high-fashion fantasy that perfectly complemented Michelle’s modern yet timeless allure. She headlined the event as she personally awarded the tournament’s winners, adding an extra touch of prestige to the night.

The star shared her experience with her first-ever Baccarat Tournament with OKGames, saying, “It was so exhilarating! It was so competitive. I know baccarat is such a competitive game, and I am so happy for the winners.”

VIP guests enjoyed a surreal, exciting experience, complete with raffale draws and exciting prizes totaling ₱3,000,000 in cash prizes. Highlights included a ₱600,000 Lucky Draw in Free Rewards, a ₱500,000 Prediction Prize for the champion, and a Revival Card Giveaway offering second chances to win additional prizes and exclusive merchandise from OKGames’ gaming provider, Playtech.

Michelle also expressed her excitement working as the brand ambassador for OKGames, sharing, “OKGames has been so good and so generous in terms of what they do, and not just in the e-gaming space, but also with their amazing charity work and core values as a brand.”

MMD performed her hit single “Reyna” for the crowd, as she stunned in an emerald green fringed dress. A self-love song anthem, “Reyna” boasts of its lyrics that inspire people to reflect on how one can advocate putting utmost importance on one’s best interest and self-care. The beauty queen believes that self-discipline is at the core of self-love in all areas of life, be it at work or self-entertainment.

“I believe that OKGames is just another form of entertainment that one can enjoy, and since it is the only online game
platform in the Philippines that has ‘a comprehensive Responsible Gaming System’, it makes me more secure that
OKGames is doing something right in terms of encouraging players to practice self-discipline in gaming, by providing
them gaming features that can secure a more balanced, more disciplined, and healthier way of online gaming. I think
that’s very responsible of OKGames to do that. OKGames has a specially designed set of thoughtful system tools meant to build your well-rounded lifestyle parallel to your online gaming,” Michelle said.

“OKGames has launched its very own, built-in ‘Game Timer’ feature. Gamers who have been immersed in the action
for over two hours will see a prompt, a friendly reminder that will appear on the screen, letting them know that it has
been two hours that they’ve been playing,” she said.

“They’ve also implemented a mandatory one-hour ‘Refreshment Break’ wherein one’s account will automatically log
out, giving the gamer a chance to step away, grab a coffee, chat with family, or just clear one’s head. This can allow
them to come back sharper, more focused, and ready to conquer the next challenge. I also appreciate OKGames’ ‘Family Exclusion’ feature, designed to allow close family members such as parents, spouses, or children over 18 to request a restriction on a user’s account. Family members can look after the online gaming habits of their loved ones and prevent problems before they even start. I think these tools are self-care features that OKGames has, and it’s cool that they’re the only online game platform that takes these measures seriously.”

“Online gaming is another form of entertainment, and can be seen as that. Self-control and discipline should be practiced, and with OKGames’ Responsible Gaming System, we can be assured that self-care tools are given to gamers to remind them that there’s a real life outside the online games,” she stated.

The grand winner at the luxury gaming event, Jay Aubrey De Roja, also shared his experience of the OK Games Baccarat Tournament, saying, “Sobrang ganda kasi nafi-feel namin na may care talaga ang OKGames sa mga players nila, and talagang feel namin. Ang mga event nilang ganito ay nag-gi-give back sila sa amin, bukod pa sa mga napapanalunan namin.”

With Michelle Dee front and center, the event was not just a gaming tournament. It was an unforgettable night of elegance, excitement, and elevated entertainment. Together, MMD and OKGames redefined what it means to Enjoy The Moment, Own The Game.
