Buzz Bingo is to add 10,000 electronic bingo terminals and over 1,300 new slot machines to its UK bingo clubs as part of a fresh £25m investment in its portfolio.
The funding from Barclays is part of the bingo operator’s plan to be the “Bingo Club of the Future.”
Fully integrated Digital Membership Cards are also being rolled out alongside as Buzz looks to attract a new wave of younger players.
Buzz Bingo’s Sheffield Parkway club has received the first slice of the £25m investment and has seen the addition of a new Players Lounge, an updated bar area and artwork from local artists, as well as ultra-high-definition screens and modern AV systems.
Seven other clubs, including in Leeds and Stockport, are set to be revamped over the course of 2025.
Dominic Mansour, CEO of Buzz Bingo, said: “Our new investment programme will see clubs across our estate being transformed. This is all about modernising bingo for the next generation of players and taking our clubs to the next level to offer a truly unmatched experience for our players, and we believe our Sheffield Parkway site is now one of the best bingo clubs in the country.
“By combining cutting-edge technology, more modern interiors and even better food and drink, we’re not just refurbishing our clubs — we’re going to be reimagining what bingo can be in the future.”
Buzz Bingo said its reworked Sheffield Parkway club had a nearly 200 per cent increase in footfall on launch compared with the previous week, with footfall up 131 per cent year-on-year.
