Giggle for the Day: It was all so different before everything changed. ROFL!!
A change is as good as a holiday! So we at Giggle Bingo like to keep things fresh and the Roomies on their toes, lol. Read all about what to expect this week at Giggle Bingo below in the Promotions section. There have also been changes to the schedules, so make sure you visit the schedules online just to make sure that you catch all your old favourites and all the new games to look out for.
We have dropped the Recurring Deposit Bonus from 50% to 25%. This will be applicable to all deposits made $10-$100. Aw, don’t stress Roomie, work the new Loyalty systems properly and the rewards will far outweigh the deposit bonuses! Promise.
Please take note that going forward we will only be pulling the Bingo Ball for Life winners report next week Tuesday and not on Monday. This is to allow for any late data to be pulled into the data warehouse.
There is still so much to catch up on so pour some vino, put your feet up and take in all that we have to offer.

Wacky Bingo News
Pensioner wins £290k in game show
A "gob-smacked" pensioner has spoken of how she comforted her bingo-losing husband with some good news of her own – a near £300,000 TV game show win.
"I ain't won owt", grumbled Keith Mullins, 69, to wife Pamela as he returned to the couple's Sheffield home after a fruitless trip to the local working men's club.
Unsurprisingly, the lack of bingo success failed to worry Mrs Mullins. Having
decided to have a quiet Saturday night in, the 67-year-old won £290,000 on ITV's Magic Numbers.
Having been selected to play in the show's end challenge, the former data entry clerk answered five general knowledge questions correctly to ensure a good chance of a big prize. And as former Spice Girl Emma Bunton opened her selected cases, the money started piling up.
"I was absolutely stunned. 'Gob-smacked' as we say in Yorkshire," Mrs Mullins said.
"My husband was at the local working men's club playing bingo, trying to get
some extra euros for our holiday. When he came back he came upstairs and
said, 'I ain't won owt'.
"I said 'well you know that programme?' And then took him through it step by step." He said how much did you win? £500? When I told him he went ashen – he thought I'd had too much to drink."
The couple spent all night discussing what to do with the windfall. Top of the list is a first-class trip to Australia to visit their Melbourne-based daughter Sarah. A new bungalow is also on the cards for the retired pair, Mrs Mullins said.
She said the good news couldn't have come at a better time having recently suffered from some health concerns.
"We haven't had much luck lately, we were due a little bit of something," she said. |

Read up on all the fantastic weekly and monthly promotions. Read all about them and make sure you don’t miss out on the action. Here are just some of the highlights:
A Change comes as Giggles Gives Back!
Out with the old and in with the new, it’s time for a change at Giggle Bingo! This week is the last week to play the Loyalty Lottery as we’ve come to know it. As we now have a fabulous Loyalty Programme that sees many of you with fabulous loyalty bonuses each week, the Loyalty Lottery has become redundant. Awww... bless! She was a good old game LOL!
Never fear though as Giggles always gives back and has created some FAB free games for you all to play each Friday night in Snickers starting at 8pm. There will be 6 FREE games scattered throughout 8pm- 11pm and they will have pots of 1st line £20, 2nd line £30 and full house £40.
How do you earn tickets? Well, if you have deposited a minimum of 20 cash in the Monday to Sunday prior to the free games, you will be guaranteed to have tickets! And the more you play and chat, the more tickets you earn, so what are you waiting for? Get in there and be active!
Want to know how to earn the most? Take a look and see...

If you are one of the chattiest players in any Chat Host shift in Snickers or Ice Breaker (at least three shifts in each room each day) then you could be nominated for 5 tickets by any of our lovely hosts. There is no limit to the number of chat lotto tickets you can earn, but remember you must have made the required deposits to be eligible.
Special Jackpot Games changes
We have a new schedule for the special jackpot games and one new special jackpot game joining the fold: Bingo Ball!
Bingo Ball is played during the mini JP hours and it starts at £3 or $3 and grows by the same amount each time it’s not won. The fun thing about this game is that the balls to JP are determined by the first ball called. If the first ball called is 60, you have 60 balls to get the JP in; if the first ball is 3 ... lol ... you guessed it you have three balls to get the JP in. This JP could either build to a decent pot or be going every game. Each hour is bound to be different, so pop in and try your luck :)
As a special treat with the exception of Giggle Buddies, you can now win any of the special jackpot games when you are offline or in another room! WOOHOO! My advice is pre-buy and prepare for a surprise! You could win a big one while you sleep waahooo!
Here is the new line-up of special jackpot games. All these games can be bought into, up to three days in advance, from the specials tab in the advanced buy area of your bingo rooms.

Thirty-five lucky Roomies hit their chosen Bingo Ball for Life numbers 60 times last week. They each took home their share of the weekly Jackpot.
Take a look at these two lovely testimonials from previous BBFL winner’s
waitingonawin & xxtownbird:
“I am really pleased to have a win on my Bingo Ball for Life. The best part is that I didn't even know I had won on it until I received the e-mail and so it was a really nice surprise. I will be using it to play more bingo at Giggle because it really brightens up my days. The Giggle community is like an extension of my friends and you are always guaranteed a laugh with the friendly hosts. Thanks very much Giggle for all the fun and laughs.”
“I was shocked when I got the e-mail to say I had won twice this week on my Bingo Ball for Life. I am going to treat the children to a day out during the summer holidays with my winnings. Thank you Giggle Bingo.”
Play as much bingo as possible and you may just be that lucky roomie who bags the big pile of dosh. Don’t forget that with Bingo Ball for Life, winning that full house has never been more attractive.
7th August PJP win *** Speed Bingo Room ***savannah01*** £953.29 *** 41 calls. WTG Roomie!
“Thank you very much for my PJP win in Snickers Room. I’d just woken up and switched the computer on and the next game I won it. I was in total shock; I still am so excuse the spelling mistakes. I always buy my tickets in advance as it makes it easier to do in one go then I get some sleep and when I wake up I chat and watch the games. As I have said before I never thought I would win the PJP and now I’ve done it twice. I have little wins, big wins and OMG wins, lol. I’m putting the money into a trust for my children as they look after me due to being very ill. Bingo is my lifeline the only time I don’t play is when I’m in hospital which is very frequent sadly. I think Giggle is the best site around and I will be staying with it for a long time to come again tyvvm for my wins.”
8th August Giggles JP win *** Snickers Room *** Tinkybellxxx*** £500 *** 40 calls.
“I have just had such a surprise, I popped in to Snickers for a couple of games before dinner and on my first game I won a full house in 40 numbers. The chat host informed me that I had won the jackpot. I was stunned. Giggle is a fantastic site with great chat hosts and roomies. I will put the money towards my holiday, and of course I will continue playing bingo. Thank you so much everyone.”
Roomies, spend that money wisely!

Thanks for all the supportive emails about my cooking mishap last week – NOT. At least some of you were kind enough to pass on some simple recipes that use everyday ingredients that are bound to be sitting in the fridge – in case you have a cooking emergency like I had.
Garlic & Mushroom Pasta
Preparation Time: 20mins
Serves 4
Ingredients
75g/3oz Butter
675g/1½lb Mushrooms, thickly sliced
350g/12oz Short cut Pasta (e.g. macaroni)
Juice of 1 Lemon
3 Garlic Cloves, chopped
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
Salt and Black Pepper
Method:
1. Melt the butter in a pan, add the mushrooms, cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Meanwhile, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, add the pasta and cook for 10-12 minutes.
3. Add the lemon juice and garlic to the mushrooms, cover and cook for a further 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the parsley, salt and pepper and mix well.
4. To serve – drain the pasta well and toss in the sauce. Serve immediately.
Good luck and happy cooking. If you have any recipes that you would like to share with us, then why not drop us an email? If your recipe is published in the newsletter, then you
will receive $10 bonus in BBz.
