Club 3000 Bingo has announced it will invest £27m across its UK estate over the next 12 months, with a programme of refurbishment taking place at clubs in Mansfield, Cwmbran, Doncaster and Coatbridge, beside the launch of new venues.
Nearly £13m will be spent in developing a site on Hartcliffe Way in Bristol, subject to planning approval, while £5.5m will be spent creating a new flagship club at The Bridges Shopping Centre in Sunderland, scheduled to open in early 2027.
“We are delighted to announce this significant investment in the future of Club 3000 Bingo,” said founder Brian Fraser. “The removal of Gaming Duty on Participation has given us the confidence to accelerate our investment plans, not only for our business but for the wider bingo industry.”
“Our ambition is to continue creating first-class bingo and entertainment venues that combine innovation, exceptional value and a welcoming atmosphere. These investments demonstrate our confidence in the future of retail bingo, and we look forward to bringing these fantastic new clubs to life while continuing to enhance our existing estate for our customers.”
The new openings will increase the Club 3000 Bingo estate to 26 venues, reflecting the company’s “continued investment in growing the business and expanding access to high-quality bingo entertainment in communities across the country.”
These sites will provide “modern entertainment destinations” for local communities, combining “the latest bingo technology with contemporary interiors and a premium customer experience.”
“Players will benefit from industry-leading prize money, affordable sessions and a welcoming social environment designed to appeal to both existing and new audiences.”
“These two developments are expected to create around 100 new jobs, delivering further economic benefits to both Sunderland and Bristol.”
Alongside the new developments, Club 3000 Bingo is investing heavily in its existing estate, with major refurbishment programmes underway at its clubs in Mansfield, Cwmbran, Doncaster and Coatbridge.
“We’re excited to bring a fresh, modern experience to our customers while continuing to provide the friendly, welcoming atmosphere they know and love,” added Fraser. “We can’t wait for everyone to see the transformation when it’s complete.”
