Breakdown of the Rank Brand Results
The financial statement outlined the restructuring the Mecca Bingo operations have undergone recently since the pandemic. The number of venues has been reduced from 82 to 52 in the UK and this division of Rank goes through a rationalization process. This has resulted in the group drastically reducing its losses from (£74.1) million to (£1.7) million for FY24. Leadership figures at Mecca point to a strategy of transferring retail customers to play online as well, and has started initiatives like the recent joint Mecca Bingo Slots tournament across all platforms.
The Grosvenor Casino venues in the UK saw changes to key personnel during its last year of operations. The financial results saw the NGR increase by 9% which was in line with the overall group’s performance. The number of visitors to the venues especially in London, including the Grosvenor Victoria Casino, continued to rise since the low number in covid and saw the casino operation return to profit for the year.
The Enracha brand in Spain encompasses nine bingo, sports betting, and gaming machine venues, and performed well last year. There was a significant rise in visitor numbers and operations in Spain were similar to the combined group’s NGR.
This has been a year of strong financial, operational, and strategic progress for Rank. We are continuing to rebuild profitability following the impact of lockdowns and the material inflationary pressures experienced in recent years. Trading continues to improve due to ongoing investment in our people, our products, and the facilities within our venues businesses, and the continued development of the proprietary technology which is driving the growth of our digital business.
