Live casino studios in Malta

Malta hosts live studios and licenses many of the suppliers behind them. Evolution has filmed there since 2014, home to its international presenter teams for native-language tables in regulated markets. Vivo Gaming runs one of its seven studios on the island, and Religa streams tables from the floor of the Portomaso Casino in St Julian's.

Short answer

Which live casino studios are in Malta?

Three are confirmed: Evolution (since 2014), Vivo Gaming and Religa, which streams from the Portomaso Casino. All supply casinos under Malta Gaming Authority B2B licences. For you, a Malta table mostly means European dealers and Central European time; your rights depend on your casino's own licence.

What it means for you

What a studio's location changes at the table

General explanation; it applies to every studio location.

Location effects

Dealer language Studios hire dealers for the markets they serve, so native-language tables usually come from a studio near that market.
Opening hours Most tables run around the clock, but some native-language tables open only at the target market's peak hours.
Stream delay Every stream runs a few seconds behind the table and distance adds a little more. Betting closes on the studio's clock, so bet early in the countdown.
Rules and limits The game rules come from the studio and its regulator. The casino picks the tables and limits, so the same game can have different limits at two casinos.

Fairness does not depend on location: the house edge is set by the game rules.
