Guoco Bids For Bingo Holdings

But recently land based bingo halls have been taking a big hit. Online bingo halls have become excessively popular in the UK. Many players seem to prefer to play at online bingo halls than the terrestrial ones for very obvious reasons. The no smoking rule that was placed on gambling bingo halls in the UK has caused a bigger dent in the earnings of land based bingo halls and has caused more people to shift their loyalties to online bingo halls. The Rank Group has certainly had to face the difficulties. Now the Rank Group has been of major interest to the Malaysian gambling super tycoon Quek Leng Chan and his company, Guoco. Chan made his interests to acquire the company quite evident in the past. The Rank Group holds over 29% of the UK company’s shares. Chan has placed a bid of £586 million to take over the company and this is a rather forced bid because Chan’s company has an increased stake of 40% in the company. Guoco is already a shareholder in the company and is now offering 150p per share for the balance shares that they do not have a hold of yet. Recently Ranks won a multi million pound tax case against the UK government and the share prices shot up. This has helped revive the UK bingo sector.
