Game and Sports

Slingo is another online gambling game that implements a fusion of Bingo and Slots. It also has elements from the classic game show called “The Joker’s Wild’. It was developed for the first time in 1995 as a traditional five reel slot machine.

In a typical game of  Slingo, a user has twenty turns to spin the numbers below his or her own Bingo cards. As a result, five numbers appear. If these numbers are found on the card, they can be marked off. Apart from the numbers, other special items may show up in the number spots below the cards. The Jokers are regarded as wild and can be used to mark off any number on the column on which the Jokers appear. A Joker appearing in the center column can act as a Super Joker and can be placed anywhere on the board.

A Devil is another special item that may appear during the course of the game. In case of appearance of a Devil in the place of a number, the player’s score is cut in half. On the other hand, when a cherub appears, it cancels the effect of the Devil by shooting it with an arrow. Coins and Free spins are other special items in a Slingo game. Coins when they appear, grant automatic points to the players. In a game of Slingo, the last four points must be bought with points. If a player has accumulated Free spins, he can use these free spins instead of fees for these last spins.

The spins have specific time limits. A player will lose a spin if he does not start his spin in his specific time limit. Also, if the player fails to mark off all possible numbers and Jokers in his time limit, those numbers and Jokers are considered to be lost. The player, who has maximum points at the end of the game, is declared the winner.

Slingo is a multiplayer game. However, a large number of websites have single player version of the game too. Apart from the internet gaming version of Slingo, there are versions for PC and cell phones too. A handheld electronic Slingo exists too. However, this version of Slingo does not have any Super Jokers, Multiple Jokers and cherubs.
