The Grosvenor and Mecca owner expects the Budget's five-point rise on higher-stake machines to cost about £9 million a year before mitigation, more than bingo duty's abolition saves it. Its response waits until January.
The Times reports that the Chancellor will lift the main rate of machine duty by five points at next week's Budget, a quarter more than today but well short of the doubling campaigners wanted. Nothing is confirmed, the industry says any rise will cost jobs, and Rank's shares rose after the report.
Twelve days before the Budget, Halesowen MP Alex Ballinger and 89 Labour colleagues have asked the Chancellor for a new, higher duty rate on the Category B machines in adult gaming centres, betting shops and casinos. The letter cites a 40% rate without asking for one, and the industry says any rise would close venues and "kill the British seaside".
Rank's casinos are still growing, and their fastest-growing line is gaming machines, the product a Budget in 13 days may tax at twice the rate. Its bingo clubs stood still for the quarter, it closed three casinos, and its profit guidance now assumes the tax regime stays as it is.
The Gambling Commission found that staff at Rank's Grosvenor casinos treated customers' wealth or winning streaks as a reason for light-touch safer gambling checks, and that its anti-money laundering rules had not caught up with changes made in 2020. The regulator says risks more often associated with online gambling are equally alive on the casino floor.
The Mecca and Grosvenor owner says a doubling would shut about a third of its estate and hit around 2,000 staff. Its own accounts suggest the arithmetic is real: on a rough estimate, the rise on Mecca's machines alone would exceed what its bingo clubs earn. The new gambling minister, touring one of its casinos this week, has so far spoken about bingo licensing rather than tax.
