| MALTCO LOTTERIES Limited has an
exclusive licence to operate all National Lottery games in Malta. The company
is currently operating most of the games which previously fell under the
responsibility of the Department of Public Lotto. These
games include the Super 5 lottery, the Lotto, and instant lotteries
(Scratchers). In the coming months a number of new games will also be offered.
The licence was issued by the Ministry of Finance (Article 26 (3) of the
Lotteries and Other Games Act, 2001). Besides privatising the national
lotteries, the Act also paved the way for the establishment of the Lotteries
and Gaming Authority, which regulates the industry.
MALTCO was set up in
2004 with a 73% shareholding by INTRALOT
S.A. and the remaining 27% is owned by high profile Maltese businessmen .
INTRALOT is a global leader in the design, development, operation, and
support of integrated games and transaction processing systems. The company
currently ranks third on revenues amongst integrated lottery systems suppliers
worldwide.
