Casino Malta granted licence for island’s fourth casino

The Malta Gaming Authority has licensed its fourth casino in Malta to the Olympic Entertainment Group (OEG), on behalf of owners Eden Leisure Gaming.

Casino Malta opened its doors on Monday 21 December, with 175 full timers which some of whom have been training for several months both in Malta and in other Casinos owners by OEG, and the full compliment is expected to continue to grow.

The new casino is the largest on the island and has come at an investment of over €12 million. Boasting the latest slots and table games and a significant design element, the casino aims to significantly raise the bar for the industry. With a focus on entertainment and customer service the new facility houses a significant lounge bar area and regular live music events will take place weekly.

Owners Ian and Kevin De Cesare stated, “We are delighted to finally open our doors after several years in the process. We are lucky to have great operator partners in our businesses from Olympic Entertainment to our hotel operators InterContinental Hotel Group to together will ensure that the industry is grown rather than cannibalised from other operators. The synergies of significant hotel accommodation, an existing entertainment business and great partners is, what we hope is a tremendous winning formula.”
