The National Lottery was set up as a Government monopoly in 1934. Prior to February, 2004, all National Lottery games fell under the responsibility of the Public Lotto Department. In February, 2004 Maltco Lotteries Limited was awarded an exclusive license to operate all the National Lottery games. The license is valid for seven years.
Presently Maltco is operating Super 5, Lotto, Scratchers Instant Tickets, U*Bet (fixed-odds betting), Quick Keno and Bingo 75 (ex Tiritombla).
The LGA regulates the operations of Maltco and collects gaming tax from the licensee on behalf of the Government whilst the licensee is mandated to provide contributions to the Good Causes Fund.
