Slingo Games

Are you the type of player who likes both online bingo and slots, but often cannot make up your mind on which game to play? If the answer is yes, have no worries, as we have something that might catch your attention.

Combining the most interesting elements of slots, bingo, and table gameplay, Slingo is an extremely interesting and quite simple-to-play game. Although a relatively new product, this game combines the elements of initial variants of bingo dating back to the 16th century.

What is Slingo?

Paying attention to the name of the game itself, which represents a portmanteau of two games, one can easily conclude that Slingo is a game that includes elements of both bingo and slots. The game itself appeared in 1994.

As mentioned in the introductory part, some of its rules rely not only on current variants of slot releases and bingo games, but its older variants as well. For example, versatile symbols can be found, which is something typical for slot games but is not present in traditional bingo games. The game can be played alone, like a slot, or in a multiplayer variant, like Bingo.

Slingo is extremely popular in the United Kingdom, and there are a solid number of platforms where this game can be played. One of the most popular providers is Gaming Realms, widely known for its authentic and playable collection of games dubbed “Slingo Originals”.

If bingo is a game mainly loved by seniors, we could say that Slingo is a game suitable for ALL generations!

How to Play Slingo?

Just like in a real bingo game, a player’s aim is to make lines on the grid vertically, horizontally, and diagonally, hoping to cross off all the numbers and get a full house.

A player has a ticket, which resembles a bingo card, and 20 turns to "spin". If the numbers are found on the card, they can be marked off.

In addition to numbers, Slingo contains some special elements, similar to what features represent in slot games. They appear in the number spots below the card.

Jokers act as wild and can be used to replace any number in the column in which it shows up. Sometimes this icon can act as a Super Joker.

You’ve surely heard of multipliers and what they do, haven't you? Well, the Devil, symbol in Slingo games does the opposite of that. If spotted in a number’s place, it cuts the player’s score in half. Cherub is here to save the day because when it appears, this symbol shoots an arrow and cancels the devil’s effect.

Also, there are coins, which grant automatic points to the player, and Bonus Spins. The last four rounds of the game are purchased using these points. Accumulated extra spins can be used as a fee for any of the spins.

Players should also know that spins have time limits. A spin will be lost if a player doesn’t initiate it within a time limit. Similarly, to that, if a player does not mark off all possible numbers or jokers within the time limit, they will be lost as well.
