Susan MeierThe online casino industry in Malta is one of the most popular casino jurisdictions in the world and over 300 internet casinos and sports betting operators have a licence from the Lotteries and Gaming Authority in Malta. However, there are also a few classy land-based casinos on the island, and today I would like to talk a little bit more about the two most popular establishments.
The Casino at Portomaso
The Portomaso tower is the largest skyscraper in Malta and it is located in central St. Julians. The Casino at Portomaso is located in the lower level, and the atmosphere is vibrant and luxurious. Patrons can play a large variety of games, among them are slot machines, table games Roulette, Blackjack, Punto Banco, Ultimate Texas Hold’em and Three Card Poker. The gaming tables are open every day between 10am and 05am.
The Casino also regularly hosts large events, such as Poker tournaments. The next Poker Tournament will be the Israeli Poker Championship from the 12th to the 15th of December. The casino offers four poker tournament spaces that can easily accommodate over 1000 players at once.
The Dragonara Casino
The Dragonara casino is located in St. Julians and was built in 1870 as a summer residence of the Marquis Scicluna. It opened as Malta’s first casino in 1964. The beautiful atmosphere in the historic building offers players an exceptional gaming experience. It is possible to play slot machines, table games American Roulette, Blackjack, Dragonara Stud Poker, Punto Banco, Three Card Poker and Ultimate Texas Hold’em.
The Dragonara casino also has a player’s club that rewards loyal players. Every euro that is spent at the casino or the online casino will reward you points that can be exchanged into play credit vouchers, casino offers, cashback schemes or invitations to special events. The rewards vary depending on the VIP level of the player. The casino also offers regular special promotions and players can win great jackpots.
Both casinos are very popular with locals and foreigners alike. Their location is very central, right in the heart of St. Julians. If you are interested in gaming in Malta then we recommend visiting these classy locations.
