Rank Group Reports 69% Increase in Fiscal Q1 Revenue

Rank Group has reported a 69% increase in revenue to £163.1m for its fiscal first quarter ended September 30.
On a channel basis, digital NGR grew by 5% and venues like-for-like NGR grew by 117% year-on-year. Grosvenor Casino venues grew by 209%, down 20% compared to the same quarter in 2019/20, before the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Mecca bingo venues grew NGR by 41%, down 22% compared to the same quarter in 2019/20. Visit numbers and NGR have gradually improved through the quarter but visits from older and more frequent customers have been slower to return than other cohorts.
The UK digital business returned to growth in the quarter. Grosvenor digital grew NGR 12%, driven by the growth in revenue from omnichannel players following the reopening of the casinos. Mecca digital NGR grew by 6% and the migration of Mecca onto the RIDE platform remains on schedule for January 2022.
John O’Reilly, CEO of Rank Group, said: “We have seen an excellent response from our customers as they return to our venues, with our colleagues doing a great job in ensuring they are being properly entertained within a safe environment.
“While forecasting remains difficult as we emerge from the pandemic in an environment of volatile costs and numerous supply chain challenges, we are confident that trading will continue to improve across each of our businesses during the remainder of the year.”

Feel the power of the moon in Midnight Queen from ICONIC21

When the moon rises, the Queen awakens, and big wins can be triggered in the latest slot release from the in-demand iGaming content provider
Online casino operators can give their players the fright of their lives with Midnight Queen, the latest slot launch from in-demand iGaming content provider, ICONIC21.
Midnight Queen is a Vampire-themed slot that’s perfect for entertaining players during the Halloween season and beyond.
It brings vampire mystique to a 5×4 gameboard, where every Moon symbol feeds the hunger for even bigger wins. But this is a game where power doesn’t strike at random; it accumulates.
Player engagement is high thanks to the anticipation built into the game.
Glowing Frames lock onto the reels and wait. Each Moon that lands inside then pushes the Global Multiplier higher, building tension across a 10-spin cycle.
On the final spin, all the Glowing Frames transform into Wilds, delivering the bite – and big win potential – that players have been waiting for.
This combination of anticipation and frighteningly big wins – the game’s max win is 5,000x – allows operators to draw players in and then deliver the thrills (and chills) they are seeking.
As with all ICONIC21’s online slot games, Midnight Queen is available in both real money and sweepstakes formats.
Edvardas Sadosvkis, CPO at ICONIC21, said: “Spooky season is very much upon us, and in Midnight Queen, operators have a slot game they can use to frighten players through spine-tingling gameplay and big win potential.
“The best thing about Midnight Queen is that the theme is enjoyed long after Halloween has ended, and the team has done a great job of producing a gameplay experience that draws players in, builds anticipation and then has the potential to deliver the big wins they are seeking.
“This is a great addition to our portfolio, and we look forward to seeing our operators add it to their lobbies and to benefit from the repeat play, high engagement and consistent revenue growth that Midnight Queen provides.”
