Gala Bingo Sells Clubs to Pension Fund

12th January 2015 by Greg Gomes

Gala Bingo has reportedly sold 47 of its land based bingo clubs to a UK-based Pension fund. Gala have been looking for a buyer for some time and have now realised a £173.4 Million deal.

Land Based Bingo players at Gala Clubs need not panic as this sale does not mean the closure of the Bingo Clubs. Gala Bingo will be leasing back the Bingo Clubs from the new owners.

Why then did Gala look to sell these Bingo Halls? Gala Bingo have made significant changes in the way it does business in the last few years.

First it ditched its bingo software and moved to the Virtue Fusion Bingo Software platform, now it has sold 40% of its land based bingo clubs.What next ?

Gala Coral is the holding company that own all the clubs and Gala Bingo Online. We think that the parent company is realising cash flow to further invest in their online operation.

Instead of having to worry about building maintenance and other niggling issues, Gala have effectively become tenants and can now further focus on improving their online bingo and games offering.

Let us also not forget that the sale only represents 40% of the total amount of land based bingo halls run by the UK Bingo Giant.

The move is also an interesting one by the pension fund as it is an indicator as to the state of health of bingo in the United Kingdom.

Land Based Bingo is now so viable it seems massive private investment is taking place on a scale unimaginable a mere 2 years ago.

The reducing of taxes including the removal of an extra tax on bingo has seen the industry once more become a vibrant viable industry that caters to the world’s leading bingo market.

Take note Gordon, George Osborne is showing what can be done with the people’s game when provided with a level playing field.
