A 40th anniversary celebration show was held outside the main entrance of the Dragonara Palace, St Julians on July 15 to mark the casino's birthday, with a show line up that included some of Malta's finest singers.

The guest of honour was Mrs Alexandra Borg Olivier, widow of former Prime Minister George Borg Olivier, who had spun the roulette wheel for the first time during the opening ceremony exactly 40 years ago.

Last Thursday Mrs Borg Olivier cut the celebration cake at the end of the show, against a background of a colourful fireworks display and loud applause from over 2,000 guests.

This year also marks the fifth anniversary since Accor Casinos was given a management contract by the government. The Dragonara Casino today employs over 230.
