Slingo Originals has brought to our screens a cool collaboration of one of the most popular slot games in the industry with the concept of their slot and bingo hybrid. Here, we witness the marriage of Starburst and Slingo in what can only be described as a match made in casino heaven.
This is different to the more standard casino games you may be used to. It is played on the standard grid of 5x3 and has 12 paylines and you get 10 spins per round. You can play anywhere between $0.20 to $25 per spin.
Above the game grid, there is an additional 5 by 5 Slingo card which is filled with numbers. You need to spin the reels on the game grid and try to reveal numbers that match those on your Slingo card. When you manage to match a vertical or horizontal line, you will land a win. Every time you get a win you can climb one rung up the bonus ladder - where the prizes get bigger and bigger.
The Starburst reels come with the iconic Starburst wild which can land on any of the reels and can help you to cross off any number you want on your Slingo card and there will then be a free respin. Another symbol to look out for is the Green Joker Hat wild symbol, which will allow you to cross on whatever number you like on your Slingo card.
Should you land 3 or more purple gemstones you can receive an instant prize of 2x your stake. There is also a big X symbol which simply blocks that spot and has no benefit.
Ultimately, your aim is to try and match the numbers on the reels with the numbers on your card and cross off the lines. The more lines you complete, the higher up the ladder you go and the bigger the wins get!
The main game is where most of the action is, but there are also some features to look out for!
You receive 10 spins automatically. But when these are finished you will have the opportunity to play an Extra Spin and then spin the Bonus Wheel. If you land on a green segment on the wheel, you get an extra spin - and you can earn up to a maximum of 5 extra spins.
This is what sets it apart from other Slingo games. To the left of the reels, you will see a ladder which displays the prizes you could win should you hit consecutive Slingo wins. To reach the first prize, you will need to get 3 wins consecutively.
If you manage to land 10 Slingo wins consecutively then this is called a ‘Full House’. This will unlock the highest-paying symbol - ‘the BAR’. You will also trigger ‘Expanding Respin Wilds’. This means that any wild symbol you land during this feature will expand to cover the whole reel… and the remaining reels respin (just as in the original Starburst game). You can get a maximum of 3 Respin Wilds.
The game might sound confusing at first - but it really isn’t once you get the hang of it. You just need to match your reels to your Slingo card, get consecutive wins and climb the ladder to trigger the best features for the best prizes. When you get the hang of it, it’s a cinch… and lots of fun as well. This Starburst slot-bingo hybrid is bright, fun, and quirky and can land you up to 1,500x your stake. It’s like Starburst… but not as we know it!
