As has been the case for some time now, no news seems to be good news for the Rank Group (Mecca Bingo). We have read about this ongoing fiasco nearly daily for quite some weeks now and it seem that Harrah’s Entertainment Inc ( A US gaming company) have again approached Rank for a stake in their Mecca Bingo organisation, and apparently this is not the first time that Mecca bingo have been approached by the US gaming giant.
Why anyone would report that Mecca Bingo is taking its last dying breath is beyond me, because, lately the group have enjoyed a large investment from Genting who have been aggressively pursing investments in the UK gaming market, and another approach by from Harrah’s, who most certainly would not be pursuing the group for a share in the company if it were not going to be a wise business decision.
With speculation over the future of the Mecca Bingo group on the increase and rumours floating about by the dozen, it is going to be very interesting to see how this saga pans out in the end. But one thing seems certain, Mecca bingo is holding its own and if they can survive all the rampant scandal mongering, will probably come out tops at the end of it all.
