Land-based
Grosvenor Casinos venues
In the UK there are currently 117 operating casinos. In total, 149 licences are in use, as some casino venues operate through more than one licence. There are an additional 28 licences held across UK operators which are not currently in use.
The UK casino market has strict regulatory requirements which limit the number and movement of casino licences in the UK, thereby, creating high barriers to entry.
The UK casino market has been constrained by the number of gaming machines permitted per licence, with the maximum number limited to 20.
Globally, there is growing customer demand for gaming machines and the UK Gambling Act Review provides a once-in-a-generation opportunity to extend the appeal of casinos and to modernise our electronic offering, enabling the UK land-based casino sector to better meet the needs and expectations of customers.
Mecca venues
The UK bingo market is a heavily consolidated with the top three operators holding 63% of the 248 operating bingo venues.
The bingo market has been in decline for a number of years so there is a need to evolve and create more accessible, modern and lively venues with strong bingo prize boards, a compelling gaming machine offer, good value food and drink and live entertainment.
The mix of gaming machines is currently constrained by out dated legislation which will be improved subject to the Government implementing the Gambling Act Review.
Enracha venues
The Spanish bingo market is very fragmented with 323 bingo venues.
Bingo has declined in Spain in recent years against a backdrop of growth in slot arcades and sports betting.
With this decline in bingo, the stronger venues with more attractive prize boards attract bigger audiences, which in turn delivers higher prizes. The stronger bingo venues have also broadened their product range by including electronic roulette, bingo and other slot games, sports betting, good value food and drink and live entertainment.
