Rank, the company that is behind Grosvenor Casinos and the Mecca Bingo chain, have confirmed that the recent severe weather problems have had a major effect on their customer figures.
Mecca Bingo’s own figures show that the number of visits had declined in the week ending 5th March 2025 by 32% as the UK struggled with extreme weather conditions. This drop has hit the annual attendance figures which had, until this point, been up on the previous year after the recent rebranding of 6 bingo clubs to the new Full House format with the focus on attracting the younger clientelle.
After all the challenges that the bingo industry had been faced with in recent years, such as the smoking ban and tougher tax rules, it was important that the industry change in order to increase the client base they have. Recent figures has shown that even though Mecca Bingo’s revenues are down 1% over a nine week period, their customers are spending an average of 4% more per visit, mostly due to the massively improved food and drink products available.
