Mediterranean Coast · Est. 1998
A resort built on the idea that real luxury, like real flavour, needs a little heat. Sixty-one table games, four hundred and ten machines, one theatre, and a kitchen that refuses to be polite about spice.
The Gaming Floor
The casino floor is organised the way a good kitchen is organised — by intensity. The outer ring holds our slot terraces and low-stakes tables for guests easing in. The inner ring, lit low and lined in oxblood leather, is where the serious limits live. There is no dress code that says "high roller," but you will know the room when you reach it.
Sixty-one live tables run around the clock across baccarat, blackjack, roulette, Ultimate Texas Hold'em, three-card poker, Casino War and Pai Gow. Our blackjack pit runs both six-deck shoe games and a small, closely watched single-deck section for purists. Dealers rotate every forty minutes, tables are re-shuffled to house procedure, and every pit is monitored by a floor manager who can adjust limits in real time for qualifying players.
| Game | Min | Max |
|---|---|---|
| Blackjack (Main Pit) | €25 | €10,000 |
| Blackjack (Single Deck) | €100 | €15,000 |
| Baccarat (Salon) | €50 | €50,000 |
| Roulette (European) | €5 | €8,000 |
| Ultimate Texas Hold'em | €10 | €5,000 |
| Pai Gow Poker | €15 | €6,000 |
Four hundred and ten machines span the floor, from penny reels near the terrace bar to a dedicated high-limit slot room with denominations up to €500 a spin. We hold a mix of classic three-reel mechanical-style games, video slots with progressive jackpots linked across our sister properties, and a full rail of electronic roulette and baccarat terminals for guests who prefer to play at their own pace without joining a live table.
The high-limit slot room is separated by a frosted glass wall and its own host desk, with private cash-out service so winners are never asked to carry chips across the open floor.
Membership
Every membership programme ranks players by spend. Ours ranks them by how much heat they can handle. The Spice Index is our internal scale for lounge access, host attention and comp structure — mild guests are welcome everywhere on the floor, but Inferno members get a floor of the resort that doesn't appear on any map we hand out at reception.
Open to any registered player. Priority seating at the terrace bar, complimentary valet, and a welcome credit toward your first night's play.
Reached at €15,000 in quarterly play. Access to the Harbour Lounge, dedicated pit host, and two complimentary suite nights per quarter.
Reached at €60,000 in quarterly play. Private gaming salon, chef's table access without waitlist, and a dedicated concierge line, day or night.
By invitation only. A single, unmarked salon with two tables, negotiable limits, and a host who already knows your usual seat.
Fine Dining
Our culinary programme is led by a rotating head chef residency, refreshed every eighteen months, but the philosophy stays fixed: seasonal Mediterranean ingredients, open flame wherever possible, and heat used as an instrument rather than a gimmick. Reservations for all four rooms can be made through the concierge or at check-in; Ember Room members and above skip the waitlist entirely.
A nine-course tasting menu built around a single guiding pepper each season — currently Calabrian chilli — served with a paired wine flight from our 1,400-bottle cellar. €195 per guest.
Named for the original spice warehouse, this all-day brasserie serves breakfast through late supper with an open exhibition kitchen and a raw bar. Reservations optional.
Our late-night lounge specialises in chilli-infused spirits and a house Bloody Mary made with five different pepper varietals, rated on our own Spice Index scale.
Accommodation
Every room at Pepper Chepper looks out over either the harbour or the terraced gardens — there are no interior-facing rooms in the property. Suites are organised into four categories that roughly mirror our Spice Index membership tiers, though any guest may book any room regardless of play history.
42 sqm, king or twin, private balcony over the marina. Rainfall shower, in-room espresso bar.
68 sqm, separate living area, soaking tub, terrace onto the pepper garden terraces.
110 sqm, private plunge pool, dedicated butler service, direct lift access to the Ember Room.
310 sqm standalone villa, private chef on call, infinity pool, and a direct, unmarked corridor to the Inferno salon.
Entertainment
Our resident theatre hosts a rotating calendar of headline residencies, late-night jazz sets, and a signature Saturday cabaret built around fire, flamenco and flavour — yes, there is a live grill built into the stage design, and yes, the smell reaches the back row on purpose. Doors typically open ninety minutes before curtain, with a dedicated pre-show bar service in the lobby.
Beyond the main stage, the resort also runs a smaller 140-seat lounge for stand-up, poker commentary nights during major tournament weeks, and private buyouts for corporate groups.
Ready When You Are
Suites, tables and dining reservations can be arranged directly with our concierge team, seven days a week.
Company
Pepper Chepper Gaming & Resorts S.A. is a private gaming and hospitality company headquartered on the Mediterranean coast, operating a single flagship resort property alongside a small portfolio of licensing agreements with sister venues. The company was founded in 1998 when a converted spice warehouse on the old harbour front reopened as a twelve-table card room. Today the same site houses a full resort: four connected wings, a private marina, eleven acres of terraced gardens, 128 suites and villas, four restaurants, one theatre, and a casino floor spanning sixty-one live tables and 410 gaming machines.

45 Triq il-Kbira, Il-Gżira

Company Registration No. C-88214
Gaming Licence No. MGA/CL2/1147/2015
We built this company around one belief: that hospitality and gaming should never feel diluted for the sake of comfort. A resort can be soft in its service and still be direct in its character. That's why every part of the guest experience, from our Spice Index membership tiers to our chef-led tasting menus, is built around clear, honest gradients of intensity rather than vague notions of "luxury." A guest should always know exactly what kind of evening they've chosen.
Pepper Chepper Gaming & Resorts S.A. operates under a gaming licence issued by the Malta Gaming Authority and is subject to regular independent audit of its gaming operations, cash handling procedures, and responsible gambling programme. Our compliance office reports directly to the board of directors and maintains a dedicated liaison with regulators for licensing renewals, incident reporting, and player-protection standards.
The resort employs just under six hundred staff across gaming operations, food and beverage, hospitality, entertainment and back-of-house functions. We recruit locally where possible and run an internal apprenticeship programme for dealers, sommeliers and guest services staff. Enquiries about current openings can be directed through our Contact page.

Player Wellbeing
At Pepper Chepper, we build our entire brand around heat and intensity, but we take exactly the opposite approach to how we talk about gambling risk: plainly, calmly, and without exaggeration. Gambling should always remain entertainment. If it stops feeling that way, we want you to know exactly what to do next, and exactly who is available to help.
Gambling can become a problem when it starts to affect your finances, relationships, work, or mental health. Warning signs can include spending more time or money gambling than you intended, chasing losses, borrowing money to gamble, feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling, or hiding the extent of your play from people close to you. Recognising these signs early makes it far easier to regain control.
Our Guest Services and Compliance teams offer a number of tools free of charge to any guest who requests them, including deposit and loss limits for account-based play, voluntary time-outs of 24 hours to six months, and permanent self-exclusion from the casino floor and all Pepper Chepper properties. Requests can be made confidentially in person at Guest Services, through your account manager, or via our Responsible Gambling Support contact listed on our Contact page.
Guests who choose self-exclusion will be removed from all marketing communications, denied entry to the gaming floor, and have any Spice Index membership benefits suspended for the duration of the exclusion period. Self-exclusion requests are processed promptly and cannot be reversed early except through the formal reinstatement process required under Maltese gaming regulation, which includes a mandatory cooling-off period.
If you are concerned about someone else's gambling, our Guest Services team can provide confidential guidance on how to raise the subject and what support resources are available, both through Pepper Chepper and through independent national services.
Pepper Chepper's compliance team reviews our responsible gambling programme annually against Malta Gaming Authority player-protection standards, and our floor and hospitality staff receive regular training on recognising signs of gambling harm and responding to guest requests for support without judgement. If you would like to speak with someone directly, contact our Responsible Gambling Support line, available 24 hours a day, through our Contact page.
