Mecca’s head of PR and content, Mark Cheevers, said: “We’ve had the honour of a visit from King Charles in the past, and we saw William and Kate take up bingo calling during lockdown – so why wouldn’t we create the perfect dabber for royalty? His majesty is welcome to drop in for a game or two whenever he likes… we might even crown him a winner.” The dabber will be going on display at Mecca Bingo clubs over the summer. The unique piece, which has been certified by the London Assay Office, was designed and handcrafted by artisan goldsmith, Sarah Weatherall, and features the special commemorative hallmark of the King’s head against an oval background, which has been created especially for the coronation.

The dabber has been handcrafted using 280 grams of silver and gold, and decorated with five crystals, to reflect the colours of the Mecca Bingo logo, down its flank and topped with an ornate crown lid, adorned with a further 13 crystals. Mecca Bingo has commissioned a golden bingo dabber to celebrate the King and Queen’s upcoming coronation.
