Celebrate your Summer Time in Malta!
Malta is a top destination for poker players, expats, and tourists, thanks to its great climate, relaxed culture, and diverse activities (and our hospitality events!). With four major casinos offering daily tournaments and cash games, live poker enthusiasts are spoiled for choice. The flagship Portomaso Casino hosts many international events, and is without a doubt the leading casino of the island. Not only do they offer big international events, they also take much care about the local community.
Players/Friends such as Martin Smith, Antoine Degiorgio, and many more, always remind the crowd about mixed games being held at the Portomaso Casino, keeping the mixed games within the community alive. Even online poker players enjoy Malta's atmosphere, delicious food, and scenic beauty. The only minor downside is the occasional electricity outage, but it's a perfect excuse to join a live game or explore the island's vibrant scene for the online grinders these days!
Beyond poker, Malta offers a wealth of experiences. The culinary scene is outstanding, with seafood and Italian-inspired dishes all over the place. Must-visit spots include Al Fresco, Waterpolo Club, Vecchia Napoli, and Compass Lounge. For a break from the tables, there are historic sites like Valletta and the Megalithic Temples, beautiful beaches, boat tours, and activities like scuba diving and exploring the Dingli Cliffs. Malta’s unique blend of Mediterranean and North African cuisine is a treat, and who doesn't love the Pastizzi!
Keep in mind, that when having the hospitality package active within your online package you might have won on the way, it gives you great options to explore these kind of epic sceneries and activities. We can assure you that it will be a time not to be forgotten! The final schedule of these hospitality events are not full confirm yet, but you can look back on the last Malta hospitality edition, so you know what to expect!
