Bingo + slots = Slingo

The whole is more than the sum of its parts. And Slingo is more than a bingo slot. It adds an element of strategy that lets you combine the random result of the spin with mastery of the game.

It may seem daunting, but it’s incredibly simple. And the more you understand how it works, the more you’ll enjoy playing it… and the better your chances of working your way up to a big win.

We like Slingo Originals so much that we made an in-depth introduction to Slingo, with reviews of different variations of the game.

Gameplay

The game is played with 25 numbers on a card and a slot of five reels and one line at the bottom. Every spin of the reel yields a new combination of numbers. Whenever the number on the reel matches a number on its column, you mark its place on the card with a star, just like in bingo.

But here’s the thing: you have 11 base spins with a single initial wager, plus an additional 4 spins:

• Free spins: you win them when they appear on the reels
• Extra spins: you buy them for different wagering amounts after you run out of base spins

The cost of each extra spin increases the closer you get to completing the full house. So be careful! Because it’s easy to get over-excited and chase losses thinking that if you finally land a big win, you’ll win more than what you’ve wagered.

It’s important to remember that you can’t get more than 4 spins after you finish the 11 base spins. So if you win 3 free spins during the first round, you’ll only be able to buy 1 extra spin.

Slingo strategy

The key to Slingo is to use the jokers properly. But it’s important to remember that the results are always random, so you are not in control of whether you win or lose.

As a rule of thumb, you want to cover the center square first, followed by the corners, to increase your chances of getting a diagonal, a horizontal and a vertical payline with the lowest possible number of spins. This applies when you don’t have any stars on the board.

As soon as you start marking numbers, you want to use jokers to get as close as you can to filling a single line. So it’s best to place them on whatever line has the most stars on it.

You’ll want to choose the square on the line that increases the chances of getting more than one payline. So if you have a horizontal line with 3 stars that crosses with a vertical line with 2 stars, you’ll want to use the joker to mark the number where they intersect.

If you’re lucky, using jokers wisely can lead to huge winnings.
