Payment methods at Hann: hotel money and floor money
A three-hotel resort takes cards almost everywhere — except where the games are. Here is the map.
Play online →Draw a line through the property and money behaves differently on each side. Above it are the hotels — Clark Marriott with 260 rooms and 7 restaurants, Swissotel Clark with 372 and 12, Widus Hotel with 203 and 5 — where cards, room accounts and ordinary digital payments are routine and a check-in card hold is standard. Below it is the floor: 240 tables, 1,137 machines and 72 stations running on pesos, chips and printed tickets, with the cage as the only exit and the only currency-exchange window. Hann Points run alongside as a goods-and-discounts rail, and online payments belong to HANN ONLINE on the operator's own domains. None of it touches this site: this guide is independent — not the venue, not HANN ONLINE and not PAGCOR — and the only place a Hann account, balance or game exists is on the operator's own domains.
Who takes what across the property
- Hann is three hotels over one casino: Clark Marriott (260 rooms, 7 restaurants), Swissotel Clark (372 rooms, 12 restaurants) and Widus Hotel (203 rooms, 5 restaurants). On the hotel side, cards and ordinary digital payments work as in any five-star property.
- Check-in comes with a standard card pre-authorisation for incidentals; the hold is released after checkout on the bank's own schedule, not the hotel's.
- The 15 restaurants, bars and cafes bill to the room or to a card — the operator markets the ensemble as the Culinary Capital of Clark.
- The gaming floor is a pesos-and-chips economy: cash buy-ins at the 240 tables, notes or tickets at the 1,137 machines and 72 electronic stations, and every redemption at the cashier's cage.
- The cage also exchanges currency, and Clark Freeport plus Angeles City add money changers, bank branches and ATMs — foreign cards pay the ATM's fee and the issuer's conversion on top.
- Hann Points are a third rail of value: earned on rated play with the Rewards card, redeemed for premium goods at Hann Signatures and for dining, shopping and stay discounts — never for cash.
- Online payment methods in the Hann name exist only inside HANN ONLINE on the operator's registered domains, behind PAGCOR's pre-deposit identity checks; nothing on this guide processes a payment: this guide is independent — not the venue, not HANN ONLINE and not PAGCOR — and the only place a Hann account, balance or game exists is on the operator's own domains.
- Play with money set aside for entertainment; a casino is not a way to solve a money problem, and PAGCOR's helpline on (02) 8248-9568 is open around the clock.

Budgeting a Clark weekend without surprises
Split the budget in two before you arrive: a card-friendly number for the hotel side and a cash number in pesos for the floor. The first covers the room across whichever of the 835 keys you booked, meals in the 15 venues and the spa; the second is the only money that can reach a table or a machine — which makes it a natural, physical limit on play.
Getting pesos is cheapest before the freeport: Clark ATMs serve foreign cards but stack the machine's fee on the issuer's conversion, and airport counters rarely beat city money changers in Angeles. The cage inside exchanges currency at posted rates for guests already on the floor — convenient, but compare a rate before relying on it for large amounts.
Keep the two ledgers separate all weekend. Chips buy nothing at dinner, the room account never feeds a table, and the Rewards card records play rather than paying for it. If the ledgers start blurring — floor losses leaking into the hotel budget — treat it as the signal it is: the National Problem Gambling Helpline on (02) 8248-9568 answers around the clock, and PAGCOR runs a self-exclusion programme.
