One thing we like about online bingo brands is that they are always up to date with what’s going on. We assume the Daily Mail is on top of their bookmarks list and they always look at opportunities to combine a news story with a promo.

This is the case with Big Brother coming back to our screens, and Lucky Pants Bingo didn’t lose the chance to offer its players a set of prizes. From today Friday the 14^th until Monday the 17^th the top spinner at Lucky Pants will win a top of the range Nikon camera, while 10 more will win 10 free spins each.

This promotion comes as an extra to the normal weekend promotion that usually runs from Friday morning to Monday night at Lucky Pants and where players earn a bonus for their deposits. This (long) weekend the bonus is 60% per day for deposits between 10 and 100, plus 3 free spins to be used to Lucky Pants range of exclusive slot machines.

And as if these weren’t enough there are 25 GBP vouchers to be won, a brand new game with a “bubbly” theme, plus the ongoing tournament of 1 million pounds!
