The bingo revolution is in full
swing with 2019 being a huge year not just online, but in the bingo halls up
and down the country too.
And it’s not just been fantastic for the
bingo brands, but players too! Mecca Bingo recently announced they’ve
given away £104million to players this year in their bingo
halls.
That averages at £285,000 per day as the brand looks to
develop its online and offline output as one.
Mecca Bingo have had a
huge year in their halls and online, with more and more players and a range of
new variants increasing their offering.
That’s led to plenty of
plaudits for Mecca Bingo
online from all the top review sites. Where they’ve then been
successful is getting many online players through the doors of their bingo
halls.
What that is contributing to is an entirely new generation of
player, and at Mecca they’re clearly reaping the rewards.
Players
in the North East enjoyed the highest amount of wins, scooping
£20.14million according to reports, including the
branches in Stockton (£2.5million) and Hartlepool (£2.1million)
which were among the places to earn the highest payouts.
Stockton was
overall the third highest, with Blackpool runner up (£2.6million) and
Glasgow the branch which had paid out the most, with players claiming over
£3million in winnings!
Scotland as a whole saw players claim
£19.8million in total, while players in the North West enjoyed
£17.8million in winnings.
Carol Rhead at Mecca said, We are
incredibly proud to reveal the life-changing sums of money that have been won
throughout 2019.
“Not only have our customers tested their luck at
winning our whopping prize giveaways, but they have also experienced the
sociable environment available in all clubs across the country, offering
communities lots of bingo fun.”
It marks a remarkable contrast from
the pubs, community centres and other social hotspots which continue to close
at apace and the news will likely encourage more customers to take to bingo
during 2020.
There’s been a huge push by online brands in 2019 to
reintroduce a younger crowd to bingo, and it’s undoubtedly filtering into
life off screen given the payouts, pop up bingo nights, student nights and
busier halls now being enjoyed across the country.
Mecca are continuing
to push boundaries moving into 2020. Next year there’s a
foray into live music, with boyband supergroup Boyz on Block
touring 10 venues, while more and more variants are to arrive online.
The bingo bubble is growing, and it looks as though it will be far from
bursting over the next 12 months. |
