Lucky Touch Bingo

Time hasn’t been kind to Lucky Touch Bingo.  It’s not that the site looks out of date – on the contrary, it’s recently had a spruce up – but that it’s become more and more of an identikit skin site over the last few years.  At the time of the initial move to Jumpman, the idea of a welcome offer based round a wheel you could spin to win slot spins was new and exciting, and there were only ever a dozen or so brands on Wheel of Slots so the market in this type of welcome offer wasn’t too saturated.  Once Jumpman rolled the idea out to all of their bingo and slot sites in autumn 2017, prior to migrating them to the new mobile friendly version of the Jumpman platform in 2018, the novelty well and truly wore off and now there’s literally 100 bingo sites with the “win up to 500 slot spins” offer.  At least at Lucky Touch the spins you can win are on a slot other than the usual Starburst!

Then there’s the theming.  Once along the lines of  “technicolour Irish Luck”, it’s all had to be toned down because cartoons are no longer allowed. So there’s a nice picture of a fantasy castle as a background (barely visible on mobile) plus a header in yellow, green and purple.  A bit lurid but nothing special.

And finally there’s the bingo.  Whatever you thought of Cozy Gaming’s terms and conditions, it can’t be denied that the Cozy Gaming bingo platform which Lucky Touch originally ran on was a good one (so good, in fact, that Entain bought it and evolved it into their proprietary bingo product!).  At the time of Wheel of Slots, Jumpman was not so good, largely because of the lack of a mobile version.  And the Wheel of Slots version of Lucky Touch didn’t have any bingo bonuses or promotions (apart from bingo tickets being one of the prizes on the wheel).  The 2018 upgrade to Jumpman bingo sites included a mobile version, and they even rolled bingo out to all of their slot sites too but it was too little and too late to save the liquidity and eventually, in Spring 2020 the Jumpman bingo software was withdrawn to be replaced by Pragmatic Play bingo rooms.  You would think that would be a huge upgrade – Pragmatic Play bingo is a great product, right?  Well, yes it is BUT (and it is a big but) Jumpman took the decision not to pay for any chat hosts and instead disable the chat completely.

Lucky Touch Bingo, then, is hardly even a bingo site any more and there’s no sense of community whatsoever.  Indeed, you’ll have to poke around quite a bit even to find the bingo as there’s nothing about it on the home page and it’s in a lobby area that starts off screen so you have to scroll sideways to find it.

But while the bingo has gone from being centre front to essentially an afterthought, the slots component of the site has gone the other way, from the frankly awful range of Cozy proprietary games on site back in 2012 to being a Who’s Who of modern slot game providers (the only slight area of weakness being progressive jackpots which are almost all by Eyecon). New games are added every few days.  It’s not just slot games either – there’s live blackjack, roulette and game shows, plus other casino games.

If you’re looking for a great selection of thrilling slot games to play on your phone, with the occasional bit of bingo on the side, Lucky Touch Bingo fits that bill.  But so do more than a hundred other Jumpman sites, many of which have much better welcome offers…
