Land-based casinos

Despite its status as a global online licensing hub, Malta's offline segment is compact and focused on tourism and premium service.

Licensed venues are concentrated in St. Julian's/Pacheville and on the coast (at hotels and entertainment complexes): classic tables (roulette, blackjack, poker), electric slots, VIP areas, restaurants and bar areas.

Access - by strict identity verification; the rules of responsible play and self-exclusion apply, the dress code is more often "smart casual."

Age thresholds are hard (usually 25 + for residents and 18 + for non-residents).

Regulator - MGA: requirements for AML/KYC, security, cameras, chip accounting and reporting.

The result is few sites, but a high standard of service and compliance, integration with tourism infrastructure and events.
