The Mecca network currently employs more than 11,000 people across the UK.[3] Their halls host traditional and electronic versions of bingo, including slot-style games. Mecca are licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission and the Alderney Gambling Control Commission.History[edit]Mecca Bingo Online
Eric Morley, British TV host and founder of the Miss World pageant, is accredited with popularising the game of bingo in the United Kingdom during the early sixties, as a tactic to fill the UK’s dance halls. In 1952, he was Mecca’s general manager of dancing, and was made a director in 1953. With Mecca, Morley helped to popularise bingo which was played at Mecca venues throughout the United Kingdom. He changed the company from a small catering and dancing firm into a leading entertainment and catering company in the UK. A director of the company from 1953 up until 1978, Morley left the business after a disagreement with its then parent company, Grand Metropolitan.[4]
In 1990, the Rank Organisation made an offer of £512m to acquire Mecca Leisure Group. This was initially rejected, then accepted two months later.[5] In 2007, Mecca Bingo and its parent company suffered significant losses, attributed to the implementation of the smoking ban in the UK. Rank shut nine Mecca Bingo clubs, with 230 people losing their jobs.[6] In 2015, Mecca Bingo launched a marketing campaign featuring a twerking cactus. The campaign adverts helped to increase Mecca’s digital sales by 18 per cent, year on year, in the 20 weeks to 17 May.[7]Controversy[edit]
On 25 December 1997, members of the Muslim community in Luton, Bedfordshire, were outraged by a local bingo hall changing its name from ‘Top Rank’ to ‘Mecca,’ which is also the name of the holiest Islamic city. Protesters, angered by the link between the holy city and the practice of gambling, which is forbidden in Islam, threw bricks through the bingo hall’s windows, causing £3000 of damage.[8] Subsequently company management said the ’Mecca’ name would be dropped from the bingo hall as a result of the unrest and offence caused.[9] However as of 2018, some 21 years on, the company’s own branch locator on their website confirms that the Mecca brand is still being used in Luton.
In December 2015, Mecca Bingo was ordered to forfeit nearly £1 million after allowing a woman to spend up to £50,000 a month on her gambling addiction.[10]Mecca Bingo More Like This MorningAwards[edit]
Mecca Bingo was awarded ‘Bingo Operator of the Year’ at the 2016 International Gaming Awards.[11] It won the same award in 2014 and 2015, with Rank Group also winning ‘Socially Responsible Operator of the Year Land Based’.[12][13]
Mecca Bingo won two awards at the 2016 EGR Innovation and Marketing Awards:[14] ‘Best Native App’ and ‘Innovation in Bingo’ for their Emoji Bingo game – an App that swaps bingo balls for emojis.
In 2017 Mecca Bingo won WhichBingo awards for Best Customer Services and Most Socially Responsible, along with the EGR award for Best Mobile Bingo Product.References[edit]

Last month we asked you all ‘What is your favourite way to ‘Mecca Brew’ and over 1500 of you got involved. WOW!
The results are in and we have to say, we are blown away by some of them.So what was your favourite brew?
First up, we asked you all ‘What is your favourite tea?’ and unsurprisingly, just a normal brew came out miles ahead of the likes of Green Tea or Macha – here at Mecca Bingo, we could not agree more. Keep it simple we say.Sugar or no sugar?
We then went on to ask the important questions ‘How do you like your tea? And ‘How many sugars do you take?’. There was a very mixed tea’bag’ of results for this one (get it, huh?) with nearly 50% of you preferring a middle brew with 0 sugars.Mecca Bingo More Like This Week
As expected when asked ‘How do you brew your tea?’ over 90% of you go for the classic method – teabag straight into the cup. After all, we don’t all have the spare time to go for loose leaf tea. That’s far too messy in our opinion too!Mecca Bingo More Like This WeekendMug or Cup? What did you decide
We must admit we were quite surprised by the next result ‘What do you like to sip your tea from?’ 85% of you drink using a mug, 10% use a traditional teacup and for some reason only 2% drink direct from the saucer (must just be us then).And finally, the age old question – When do you add the milk?
And finally, the all important question ‘When should you add the milk’. We were very, very relieved to see that the majority (over 70 %) of you agree with us – the milk ALWAYS goes last.
So, there we have it, the all important results of the correct way to ‘Mecca Brew’.Stay tuned… there’s even more to come
