Malta’s government is looking to compensate for financial losses by giving out a fifth casino license. In its recently issued casino license request-for-proposal, Gozo and Comino are specifically excluded.
The request for the fifth casino came from the government’s Privatization Unit. It acts on behalf of the Economy Ministry, according to information published in the nation’s Government Gazette.
According to the request-for-proposal, the future casino needs to be situated in an area which is highly appreciated by tourists in order to bring the highest possible profit. The area will be established by the Malta Tourism Authority and can be anywhere but in Gozo and Comino.
