Rank
One of the ‘big 2’ casinos groups in the UK (Genting being the other), Rank, trading as Grosvenor Casinos, has evolved over the years from a collection of different acquisitions with a variety of different names. Clubs that used to be called Soames, Sergeant Yorkes, Tiberius and a few other names are now either Grosvenor (older sites) or G Casinos. Most of their newer sites are on the edge of a town or city centre, and sport beautiful decor, a very comfy bar area (with funky light displays on the ceiling) and usually a major poker room.
The nature of the business is such that they have much the same restaurant and menu in most of their sites, and their Play Points loyalty card goes across pretty much all of their operations. Grosvenor recently (early 2013) bought out Gala casinos, and will be on their way to rebranding all 19 sites that they picked up.
The casino business is just part of the Rank Group, which used to be a huge leisure comglomerate including businesses like Butlins, Odeon and lots of others, but now just comprises the Grosvenor Casino and Mecca Bingo businesses. On the web you will find Grosvenor Casinos online and Mecca Bingo online, which are apparently a growing part of Rank’s business.
