The Story of Mecca Bingo

Mecca Bingo have been operating since 1961, the brand becoming one of the biggest bingo operators in the United Kingdom in the subsequent years of service. Six million people either enter one of Mecca Bingo's high street clubs or log in to their online services. Seventy percent of their customers are female, such a thing being obvious from the prevailing colour pink running through each and every webpage. Mecca are currently under the stewardship of Mark V. Jones managing director.

The brand are a part of the Rank Group, this operation also servicing such bingo sites and clubs as Enracha, Grosvenor and G Casinos. The company was founded back in 1995 and is best known for establishing a chain of much loved cinemas. These cinemas have since folded though Rank's signature Gongman iconography remains. The Rank Group were also known for their establishment of the Blue Square betting brand before its move into the hands of Betfair and its subsequent decline. As well as now running a number of bingo clubs in Great Britain, Rank are also active in Belgium and Spain and are looking into expanding into other parts of mainland Europe.

The Mecca Bingo brand won the 2015 Bingo Operator of the Year award at the 2014 IGA Awards and are currently under nomination in a number of categories at the Which Bingo Awards. Customers can vote for the brand in the six categories that they are nominated in including the big Best Online Bingo Site gong. They also look to win the award for the Best Mobile Bingo Experience as well as a number of less prestigious titles. Voting closes on the 29th May with the company promising to give out £1,000 prizes if they win just one of the six awards.
