A UK leisure company that runs Mecca Bingo and Grosvenor Casinos, with its head office in Maidenhead.
The Rank Group is a leisure and gaming company. In Great Britain it runs Mecca bingo clubs and Grosvenor Casinos, where customers play bingo, slots and table games such as roulette, blackjack and poker. It also runs online gaming alongside the venues, and has a Spanish business, Enracha, and a Spanish digital bingo brand, YoBingo. Under UK and Alderney licences it also runs complementary digital offers.
We did not find a formal mission statement or a values page on the sources we read. What the sources do show is a focus on safer gambling: in 2022 Rank partnered with GamCare on a new training programme for its employees, and in 2023 it expanded a partnership with Kambi on sports betting tools. It is a long-established name in British leisure, and is a subsidiary of the Guoco Group. Its three main brands are Mecca for bingo clubs and casinos, Grosvenor Casinos, and Enracha for online gaming in Spain.
Rank's head office is in Maidenhead, Berkshire. A company data profile gives 4,337 employees, though it does not say how many work in the UK or when the figure was taken. Its markets are Great Britain, Spain and India. We did not find a verified count of Mecca and Grosvenor venues, so that is left open here. Venues are located in towns and cities across Britain, so many roles are close to where you live.
A night out at Mecca or Grosvenor depends on a large number of people: casino dealers and croupiers, bingo callers, bar and restaurant staff, security and customer hosts, as well as venue managers and head-office teams in finance, marketing, digital and compliance. No culture description was found, but the nature of the work is face to face and customer focused. Staff must follow strict rules on age checks and responsible gambling. Staff training is part of this, which is why the partnership with GamCare matters to people who work on the casino floor or in a bingo club.
If you enjoy hospitality, you can see in this business how events, food, drink and entertainment come together. Roles in dealing and gaming need training, which employers usually provide on the job. For students interested in the data and digital side, Rank's online brands also need technology and marketing teams, with sports betting tools and partnerships signalling a continued focus on digital products.
