Rock Bingo: Venture won’t hurt smaller clubs

THE operators of a new super-bingo hall in Cork have insisted that their 1,000-seat commercial venture will not hit smaller venues which fund sports clubs and charities.

Rock Bingo, which has been cleared to open at the old Waters Glass premises in Togher after a lengthy legal battle, said it believes the people who play bingo at smaller venues will continue to do so.

“We genuinely do not feel that we will end up competing with the concerned organisations,” Rock Bingo’s Dave Barber said yesterday.
