The Island of Malta not just Limited to Online Casinos

Often, mention of the island of Malta is confined to the eldorado of online casinos and other internet games like poker, sports betting or horse racing. The European island has only 400,000 inhabitants and  lives on tourism and the tax on online gaming sites. Therefore many French people have decided to live on Malta to carry on their gambling activity which is completely legal in Malta and Gibraltar. It must be said that the smallest European Community country doesn't lack assets for living there and above all to work there legally: the taxation on gaming sites is very attractive: 0.5%  deducted from bets. Malta attracts hundreds of online gaming companies who are established there such as Alexandre Dreyfus' Chiligaming company or Gambling Affiliation, the B3W group  not  forgetting the casinos like All Slots Casinos, the Wagershare group casinos (Spin Palace, Mummy's Gold Casino etc) just to name only those who have the Maltese licence. The delivery of online gaming licences in Malta is subject to strict conditions which aren't all fulfilled by the groups.

To-day there are numerous casino sites on the French internet and some will be completely legal in 2010, the date on which the gaming market on the web will be legalised. But the island of Malta isn't limited to online gaming contrary to what one may think. In fact Malta is a magnificent small island which should be better known for its exceptional tourist sites and its many small “satellite” islands like Gozo or Comino. Malta is a privileged spot for Popeye since the Popeye village is in Malta. In fact the “Popeye Village”is a few kilometres from Valetta, and it's in this mythical place that the Robert Altman film with Robin Williams was filmed in 1980. For those who love animals, Mediterranes is an aquatic park which gives visitors the chance to swim with dolphins or to see sea-lion shows or tropical animals.
Malta hides its treasures well and shouldn't just limit itself to online gaming sites.
