There’s always something new cooking in the slots and bingo realm. And this time, the creators of Slingo have come up trumps. That’s because Slingo has quickly assumed levels of popularity along the lines of online bingo. The game is a mix of slots and bingo and works by providing players with some 20 turns to spin numbers below their bingo cards. First up, 5 numbers will appear and if they’re on the Slingo card, then they can be manually or automatically ‘daubed.’ The goal is to complete the Slingo card as quickly as possible.
Other symbols, features and gaming options
Luckily the game is a whole lot more than mere numbers. Players will notice a series of special items appearing. These will be found in the number spots below the card. Note that Jokers are wild cards and can be used to substitute for any number in the column in which it will present itself. In the center column – the ‘N’ column – you may even find a Super Joker. This symbol can be placed anywhere on the Slingo gaming card. The Super Joker must be played before any other number is played however. Just as in life, there are things to be avoided in Slingo games. The arch-rival of the Super Joker is the devil. There are multiple such characters. If one of these appears in place of a number, your score will be halved. Sometimes however an angelic character appears and erases the effect of the devil’s handiwork. It’s sort of like cupid – because this cherub shoots a love arrow through the devilish critter and zaps him on the spot.
What else can you expect from Slingo?
There are multiple special items including coins granting automatic points to players as well as free spins aplenty. When you progress to the latter stages of the game – notably 17, 18, 19 & 20 – you have to buy your way in with points. These can be racked up via the free spins feature. Slingo adds another dimension to the gaming fold: time. If you don’t daub the resultant numbers in time, you lose that spin. And if you don’t begin your spin within the designated time frame – say bye, bye. Slingo winners are those who have accumulated the most points in the game. Because Slingo is a community-based game, it has all the features of online bingo added to the excitement of slots gaming. Forums, chats, interactivity and multiplayer gaming are on the table in Slingo games. In this vein you’ll be able to enjoy community news, player spotlight, player of the month and exciting gaming variants.
