Casino Malta

Casino Malta stands in the middle of St Julian's, the island's best-known evening-out district, and it is the largest land-based casino in Malta. Its offer goes beyond slot machines and tables: comfortable lounges, bars, decor and a programme of events and promotions that make it as much a night out as a gaming floor.

It appears in our directory of casinos in Malta, and it is one of the better known venues for UK visitors looking for evening entertainment in the St Julian's and Paceville area.

St Julian's itself is a lively waterfront town beside Paceville, with restaurants, bars and clubs within walking distance of many hotels. That makes the casino a convenient addition to an evening that also includes dinner on the coast, and a taxi back to Sliema, Gżira or Valletta is short.

Gaming, poker and the bars

The gaming floor offers more than 300 slot machines alongside live gaming tables. A separate poker club runs tournaments and cash games, and Casino Malta is known for hosting major international poker festivals. A junket service for high-value players is run by a dedicated VIP and junkets manager.

The casino bar is the largest on the island, with a full-stock counter fifteen metres long, serving original cocktails and hosting events. Eden Sports Bar shows gripping sports events for guests who would rather watch a match with a drink than play. Free breakfast and daily rewards are among the current promotions for players.

Battle of Malta poker festival

The Battle of Malta is the venue's flagship event. The tenth edition, held in late 2025, drew 6,039 entries to the Main Event and built a prize pool of €2.7 million, with attendance up 36% in the Super High Roller and 29% in the Ladies Event. A guaranteed prize pool of €2 million is advertised for the October edition, so poker fans planning a trip around the festival should check the dates with the casino.

The leadership team named on the site includes General Manager Slawomir Switalski, Marketing and Events Manager Telly Bartolo, VIP and Junket Services Manager Diane Fenech and Head of Business Development Doron Ziony, who joined from a background in international poker events.

Club cards and responsible gaming

The Casino Malta club card is a loyalty card that earns points and unlocks offers at the bars and in various campaigns, with a rewards tier structure and published loyalty programme guidelines. The casino also publishes a responsible gaming page and a complaints handling procedure, and carries the notice that gambling is not suitable for solving financial problems. Please play within your means.

The loyalty section of the website is split into rewards tiers, points and benefits, so regular visitors can see how their play builds towards more perks. Separate pages cover table games, the poker club, Eden Sports Bar and junkets, which makes it simple to see what is on offer before you arrive. Notices to customers, for example about replacing the casino's chips, are posted on the site as well, so it is worth reading the latest announcements before a visit.

Malta is also a major base for the online gaming industry, which you can read about in our iGaming in Malta guide.
