The 2016 Battle of Malta Flash Sale is on!
The outside temperature in Malta has reached 27°C (81°F) as we speak and it doesn’t look like it’s going down much next week.
What better time, then, for a Flash Sale on the last few remaining packages for the 5th edition of BoM.
Right now we're offering single and friend packages for €200 less than the original price. And while the EPT Main Event is experiencing a player decrease this year, player numbers are expected to rise again for the Battle of Malta.
The Heat is On
As we said, temperatures are expected to be in the mid-20s all next week so when you’re packing your bag to fly to Malta, leave your coat and add your swimming trunks.
That will also leave you more room in case you go back with one of our beautiful BOM trophies.
We’re making the Battle of Malta package even more attractive for a last-minute poker holiday.
You can now book your own VIP package or Friend package for you and one additional player for €200 less than the regular price.
That’s a reduction of almost 14%!
There are only a few rooms left in our BOM hotels so hurry up and book.
They'll be gone soon. The complete package includes:
Five nights at the 4* Corinthia Marina Hotel in St. Julian’s Tickets for all four major parties – Karaoke with Maria Ho, the BOM cocktail party, the All-in Friday, and the big VIP players party at the Sky Club A €550 ticket to the BOM main event Daily buffet at the casino/daily breakfast buffet at hotelOriginal price for the VIP package was €1,459; now €1,259 = 14% off. Original price for the friend package was €2,159; now only €1959 = 9% off!

Numbers are Rising
While the fifth edition of BOM is only a week away the European Poker Tour is running its Malta stop for the third time. However, the growth curve for the two big autumn poker events in Malta couldn’t be more different.

*Event took place in March 2015, but was part of prior season.
In fact the current EPT stop is the smallest EPT main event since Copenhagen in 2012.
Whether the diminishing numbers at the EPT are a direct consequence of PokerStars’ announcement to cancel the EPT isn't clear but it doesn’t seem Malta is a point of focus for the new PokerStars Championships. Perhaps maybe for the smaller “Festivals” – but rumors about skipping it certainly aren’t helpful.
On the other hand the Battle of Malta is unique in every sense of the word. It’s a standalone event – although every year we add more side events – and it’s the one that combines poker and a late summer vacation better than any other poker event anywhere.
Watch the video below to feel the BOM vibe:
We’re expecting to grow again this year and the intent is to reach the magic number of 2,000 players. That would give the BOM a €1 million prize pool and again have the top three or four players walk away with more than €100,000.
Time is running out fast! Get your VIP package now and you’ll soon find yourself playing in an international top class poker event hosted by Maria Ho on a beautiful island in the middle of the Mediterranean where the sun almost always shines.
Or, you can sit back in your chair, put some extra socks on and look out of the window while the rain comes down.
