What Casino Cosmopol Malmö Was

Casino Cosmopol was the brand of Sweden’s state-run casinos. The Malmö casino opened in December 2001 in Kungsparken, the park that surrounds Malmö Castle in the city center. It was the second Casino Cosmopol venue, after Sundsvall, and offered table games, slot machines, poker and a restaurant and bar. All of the chain’s profit went to the Swedish state.

Why It Closed

On January 24, 2024, the Svenska Spel board decided to close the casinos in Malmö and Göteborg because of poor profitability and declining attendance. The decision affected about 80 staff in Malmö and 120 in Göteborg. The Sundsvall casino had already closed in 2020.

That left only Casino Cosmopol Stockholm. In spring 2025 the Swedish parliament approved ending Svenska Spel’s right to run physical casinos, and the Stockholm casino closed for good on April 25, 2025. Casino Cosmopol no longer operates any casino.
