Developed in the year 1995, Slingo was first played as a five reel slot machine. The game is a fusion between slot machines and Bingo. It also derives some features from the classic game show which was called “The Joker’s Wild’
The basic idea behind this game is that a player gets to spin twenty turns of a number. Five numbers appear as a consequence. If these are the same numbers that appear on the cards, the numbers can be marked off. Various other special items may appear apart from numbers. The Jokers are regarded as wild because they can be used to mark off any number on the column if the Jokers appear on it. If a Joker appears in the center column, it can act as a Super Joker and you are allowed to place it anywhere on the board. Another special item that may appear during the game is the devil. In case it appears in the place of any number, the player’s score gets halved. Otherwise, a cherub appears, it nullifies the effect of the Devil by shooting it (with an arrow). The other special items are Coins and Free spins. Coins grant automatic points to the players. In Slingo, the last four points are to be bought with points. If a player has collected free spins, he can use these instead of fees for the last spins.
Being very popular a large number of websites have this game to be played. These sites provide different versions of Slingo. Some of these are down loadable as well.
