Sheila Stanley, a seventy year old woman from Liverpool is celebrating after her ₤19 000 win at the Mecca Club, Europa Centre in Birkenhead. The National bingo prize that night was for ₤67 880, however Sheila had to share her winnings with three other players. This in itself is unusual, we see winners sharing with another player, but rarely see them having to share with three others. All four players called house in forty five numbers.
The Rank group, operators of Mecca Bingo, looks as though it is going to be in one heck of a mighty court challenge with Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs. They were recently granted a tribunal decision to claim back more than £36 million in VAT from the department as monies that were overpaid for Interval Bingo.
If it is not enough that Mecca Bingo has recently launched its first mobile bingo game, they have also launched a new rewards programme for their land based regular players. If players in the land based game manage to collect fifteen stamps during the month of May, Mecca bingo will reward players with cash payouts of ₤20.
