Apparently the number 8 is lucky in China (remember the HSBC adverts?) and perhaps it’s no surprise that the Beijing Olympics in China get going on the 8th Day of the 8th Month of the 8th Year (08/08/08)! In bingo terms the number 8 is a fat lady but all ladies (and gents) are welcome over at 888 Ladies where they’re celebrating this eight love in day in their own way.

On 08/08/08 888 Ladies are offering 3 extra £888 guaranteed Jackpot giveaways (why 3? why not 8? we were doing so well up to this point!). Guaranteed means exactly what it says on the tin. If you get full house on these special games then you walk away with £888! You’ll be able to pre-buy your tickets for the first game from 22:30 on Wednesday August 6 and cards cost £1 each.

As well as the jackpots there are other 8 related events going on at 888 Ladies including chat games and chances to win free bingo points. If you’re new to the site then register today and they’ll give you £10 free bingo (no deposit required) to try the games.

And for all of you that are interested - the number 8 is considered lucky as it sounds like the word prosper or wealth (Wikipedia).

Will the 8th of the 8th 2008 be lucky for you at 888 Ladies?
