There are three land-based casinos on the small island of Malta in the southern Mediterranean. But visiting land-based casinos is not an option for those travelling on a budget. It's not uncommon for half the gambling money to be spent on expensive meals and drinks in the casino's restaurants, rather than on at least the chance to hit the big money on the roulette table.

If you also keep in mind that Malta is a stunningly beautiful destination, there may be every reason to choose other watering holes to spend your Malta holiday than a land-based casino. That doesn't mean you can't play at Maltese casinos at all! Malta is the base for many MGA casinos online, and is actually considered a central hub in the international gambling market.

A game with a view - mobile MGA casinos at Malta's best viewpoints

In Malta, you can sit back and relax on a terrace overlooking the sea, while spinning the ball on the digital roulette table via your mobile phone. For those who like to travel and look around, this seems like a far more interesting option than spending the afternoon indoors, no matter how grand Malta's land-based casinos are.

If you're looking for Malta's best viewing spot, you have a lot to choose from. Not quite as much as when choosing an online MGA casino, but almost. Here are some tips on Malta's most amazing viewpoints:

  • Valetta City's city line seen from tas-Sliema
  • Grand Harbour from Upper Barakka Gardens
  • The Dingli cliffs
  • Red Tower in Mellieha
  • Mdina, the ancient capital of Malta

Cool off in the sea after some hot rounds at the online casino!

The Maltese Gaming Authority (MGA) generally has much more generous rules for bonuses and special offers than its Swedish counterpart, the Spelinspektionen. This means that you can play for quite low total amounts at Maltese casinos, if you plan your gambling correctly. But there may still be a reason to take a break from gambling from time to time. Especially on holiday!

After some hot freespins on your phone, you probably need to cool down a bit. And this is where Malta's wonderful nature comes into its own. There are many opportunities for salty swimming in the Mediterranean Sea when you visit Malta. Like these highly recommended beaches, for example:

  • Għajn Tuffieħa
  • Golden Bay
  • Mellieħa Bay / Għadira
  • Imġiebaħ Bay
  • St Peter's Pool

Inspired by Malta on film

If the tips above haven't quite sold you on Malta yet, there's plenty of inspiration to be found on the silver screen. In 2022, for example, the drama Luzzu was released in cinemas to great reviews. Aftonbladet said that Malta as an island was allowed to "be itself" in the film. Luzzu's beautifully filmed seaside scenes and its social commentary on an old fishing village facing the new information society are sure to attract many travellers to the island.

If you want to see even more of Malta before you decide to go there, take a look at the following film titles:

  • Gladiator
  • Troy
  • Munich
  • Midnight Express
  • Assassin's Creed

The international gambling market for online casinos is not the only market where little Malta has made a name for itself. Many of the gigantic, international film productions that seek magnificent scenery use Malta as a filming location. The Republic of Malta offers many attractions, to say the least.
