The business is headquartered in Maidenhead, England and operates clubs under the Mecca
Bingo brand in Great Britain.
Industry overview
Licensed bingo clubs in Great Britain provide low-cost games of chance in a safe, secure
and regulated environment. The majority of customers are women and must be 18 years or
older in order to play in a bingo club.
Bingo itself is a pari-mutuel lottery-style game where customers can win high prizes (Mecca
Bingo’s record payout is £1 million) for low stakes. In addition, clubs typically
incorporate large gaming machine arcades, licensed bars and restaurant areas, which are
also important generators of revenue.
