Merkur Casino has sold its Lowestoft bingo club to Real Fun Group, which will add to its stable of 10 such properties in England.
The move is part of the Merkur subsidiary’s efforts to streamline operations and focus on core business areas.
Mark Schertle, chief operating officer at Merkur Casino, said the sale will allow the company to “sharpen our focus on our core slots and casino businesses, while ensuring the future success of our teams and enhanced bingo experience for our customers under the new leadership.”
Kevin McGinnigle, founder of Real Fun Group said: “Following an interesting first year as a newly formed group, we had ambitions to further grow our estate through strategic acquisitions in the years to come.
“Whilst it might have arrived a little earlier than expected, we believe Lowestoft is exactly what we’re looking for, and we look forward to welcoming the bingo hall into the Real Fun Group. I’d like to thank the Merkur team for their co-operation during the process; they’ve been swift, transparent and a pleasure to deal with.”
