Winners taking all at Rank casinos
High rollers have been on a winning streak at Grosvenor Casinos.
Aced it: Punters on a winning streak
Owner Rank said while customer visits had jumped 12% in the 15 weeks to April 10, revenues from the business were flat as punters following in the footsteps of Sharon Stone's character in the movie Casino won more at tables.
Rank launched the G Casino format in 2006 with the aim of attracting a wider audience.
Plymouth will be the latest casino to be relaunched under the new format and rank said it was on track to have at least 20 G Casinos by the end of 2012.
At its mecca Bingo hall chain customer visits were flat in the 15 weeks to April 10 but revenues rose 4% as customers spent more on food and drink.
Rank's interactive business lifted revenues 23% but they slid 20% at its Spanish bingo hall chain Top Rank Espana after being hit by the full smoking ban there.
Rank (up 1.70p to 148.10) also announced its chairman Peter Johnson would be retiring for personal reasons.
