Last year we heard about Mecca Bingo selling off part of the shares in the company to the giant Malaysian gambling company Genting. They actually sold of 11 % of the shareholding, and now we hear that they are in the process of selling more shares to the Guoco group, also a Malaysian gambling concern, who already holds a stake in Rank, the parent company of Mecca bingo. This increases their stake in the company to a huge 12.67%.
