How to Play Slingo on Mobile Devices

Slingo is our favourite mix of slots and bingo for good reason, thanks to its compelling gameplay and excellent variety of titles. But did you know that you can play it anytime, anywhere? That’s right, Slingo is the kind of game that’s perfectly compatible with mobile devices. Its short game sessions are perfect for quick sessions on the go, while the visuals are clear enough to be easy to read even on smaller smartphone displays. Better still, it’s playable on both online casino apps and mobile versions of casino sites! Ready to learn how to play on mobile at your favourite Slingo casino? Then continue reading our full guide!   

Where to Play on Mobile 

Playing online casino games on mobile comes in two main modes - mobile apps and mobile sites. Of the two, the second is perhaps the easiest to access since this is just the mobile version of the site. These days most online casinos, including Spin Genie, optimise their sites to run as well on smartphones and tablets as they do on regular desktop and laptop PCs with a user interface (aka UI) that’s well suited for use with your finger or thumb. 

That said, if you want to take your mobile Slingo experience to the next level then we recommend downloading the Spin Genie app. Available on both iOS and Android app stores, this app provides full access to the Spin Genie games library, including all Slingo games. This is because Slingo titles have been developed using HTML5, a technology that allows games to run on all internet browsers. In addition the app can take advantage of further smartphone capabilities, such as logging in via fingerprint or face recognition. With all of this in mind let’s take a closer look at what using a mobile casino app to play Slingo involves. 

iOS and Android App Availability

As you surely know, mobile devices come with one of two operating systems, iOS and Android. iOS is the Apple OS found in iPhones and iPads, while Android-powered devices come from all other providers. These two operating systems come with their unique differences, so it’s worth taking a closer look at them. 

iOS App

Depending on your current location, Spin Genie has a dedicated app available right in the App Store. This app is primarily designed for the iPad, and features all the great Slingo games you want to play on the go. It even features plenty of bonuses to enjoy! You can register your account while using the app, or log in using your current username and password, and once done you’ll be all set to start playing Slingo on your iOS device. 

Android App 

Are you an Android user? Then you’re in luck, as Spin Genie also has an app available right at the Google Play app store. Just like the iOS version, the Android app provides access to all Slingo games available on the site with the addition of touch-friendly controls. Simply install the app from the Google Play store, then log in using your username and password or, if you don’t have an account, register directly from the app. 

Mobile Login and UI Tips

While both apps and mobile browsing are designed to be as easy to use as possible, they can still be a bit tricky, especially for newcomers. This is why we’ve come up with this set of tips and tricks to help you optimise your mobile Slingo experience to make it easier and even more fun: 

1. Use Biometrics to Log In Faster

The term “biometric authentication” refers to using parts of your body, such as your face or fingerprint, to identify yourself. This is something available in modern mobile devices, which feature systems such as FaceID or TouchID. Biometric authentication is not only faster, but also more secure as, after all, no one has your fingerprint! 

2. Save Your Credentials Securely 

If you’re playing Slingo on the mobile version of the Spin Genie site then we recommend using your phone’s password manager to store your login credentials. This is a secure part of your phone that allows for easy logins, meaning you won’t need to write down your passwords anywhere in case you forget them. 

3. Play in Landscape Mode for Easy Visibility 

Both smartphones and tablets allow for the option to either play in portrait or landscape mode, and Slingo games will adjust their UI to fit accordingly. While the games are perfectly playable in whichever mode you prefer, we will always recommend playing in landscape mode, especially on smartphones. Why, you might ask? Landscape mode provides a wider view of the game grid, as well as the paytable and bonus features, making it easier to play and enjoy the games’ visuals. 

4. Enable In-App Tutorials 

Many Slingo games feature a tutorial or a demo mode that’s also available in the mobile versions. We suggest checking this out in order to learn how to play the game, as well as how its bonus features work. This can be especially useful in mobile play since the controls or button layout might be changed when playing on smartphone or tablets. 

5. Customise Game Speed 

A lot of Slingo games allow you to adjust their animations from their Settings menu. This can prove useful when playing on the go, since it’s usually the case that time is limited and you’ll just want to play a few quick spins while on your lunch break or waiting for the bus. 

App vs Browser Play 

App or mobile browser - which one is best? That depends on your preferences when it comes to playing Slingo, but we’ve still put these two options face to face in a number of essential features. Check out our table and decide which one comes out as the winner! 

So, which of these two options should you go for? It really depends on how often you play and how. If you’re more of a power user who wants the best of your Slingo games then the app is your best option, with its better graphics and performance. However do note that this can mean a hit to your battery life and storage. If you prefer to play occasionally when on the go then the Spin Genie mobile site is a perfect means for enjoying Slingo on your device. 

Responsible Gambling Tools on Mobile

No matter if you prefer playing on the app or mobile browser, Spin Genie offers the same set of Responsible Gambling tools. After all, as fun as Slingo is, you should always enjoy this game, as well as any other casino game, responsibly. Spin Genie offers the following Responsible Gambling tools, which are found in the My Account section of the app or mobile site: 

• Cooling off, temporary suspension, and self-exclusion options. These will stop you from accessing the site for a period ranging from 24 hours to indefinitely. The self-exclusion also applies to any other account on the Spin Genie licence. 
• Deposit limits set on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. 
• Time limit controls that will log you off the online casino after a specific period of time. You can set this by contacting customer support. 
• Game status reminders that can be set for a period of 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes. 
• A self-assessment test that helps you figure out if you’re suffering from problem gambling.
