Slingo Originals Review

The Slingo brand and games, Slingo Originals, enjoy major success due to their uniqueness and ease of play. Founded in 1994, Slingo creates single and multi-player games for both the online casino and social gaming markets. RealNetworks bought the company in July 2013 for $15.6 million. The Slingo ownership changed again in July 2015 when it became the property of Gaming Realms located in London. Since then Slingo became known individually and collectively as Slingo Originals developed by Gaming Realms.

Gaming Realms introduced the fresh gaming original to the UK market. Players get to win in ways that are very similar to bingo while also enjoying the excitement offered by spinning the reels. Instead of watching the one ball drawn at a time, the game marks off multiple spots in a single round. What adds more game enjoyment and increases winning potential is the addition of wilds.

History and Overview

At the start, the Slingo multi-player version was available on AOL only, while the single-player version was available as a game for children. Slingo’s newer version aimed at the new millennium, its crisp graphics and bonuses was all part of the game that underwent a name change to Slingo Classics in September 2009.

Besides the internet games, there are a few other Slingo versions created for cell phones, PC and handheld electronic gaming, some of these feature multiple joker bonuses. The game spun off into scratch-off lottery and Slingo-themed slot machines. Slingo also has a game show version, filmed on ABC5, hosted by Joey de Leon in 2007. Michael Burger hosted the 2008 version produced in the US.

Slingo Originals partnered with several high-profile casinos, and the games are available at locations such as Harrah’s Reno and Caesars Atlantic City. The games available at land-based casinos include Bonus Bet 21, Slingo Bonus Reel Slots and Triple Slingo Jackpot.

In Slingo Originals, you have 20 turns to spin, and when five numbers appear and are on the card, they ticked off. During a game several other items can show up, the joker, for instance, are wild and can mark off any number, in some games the joker becomes a super joker when it appears in the centre.

Another symbol that is part of some games is the devil when it appears it cuts the score in half. You can collect coins which grants free spins as the free spins replace spins at a fee.
