The Most Played Slingo Titles!
Since we opened this article with the promise of telling you all about the most played Slingo games found at SpinGenie we might as well get straight to it. These titles are as varied as it gets, but all feature great Slingo gameplay together with diverse themes and unique twists on the familiar mechanics.
Slingo Centurion
One of our top favourites, Slingo Centurion brings a quirky twist on the Ancient Rome setting. It has a bright visual style complete with cheeky animations, and the varied bonus features keep the fun going. Look out for the 95% RTP and take a chance at getting yourself some of Caesar's Free Spins to keep on playing even after your initial 10 spins run out.
Slingo Starburst
Slingo Starburst is indeed a Slingo game based on the ever-popular slot. This game is all about the Starburst Wilds, which can fill an entire column when landed on one of the reels! The RTP is higher than average at 96.5%, and the slick visuals and audio make for an unforgettable gaming experience.
Slingo Rainbow Riches
Slingo Rainbow Riches is a truly liked Slingo variant with the Irish theme. This game brings the mechanics of the Rainbow Riches slot series to Slingo form with features like the multiple bonus rounds. Will you get the Wishing Well or the Pot of Gold? There’s one way to find out and that’s by giving this game a go at SpinGenie.
Slingo XXXtreme
Regular Slingo is fun enough, but what if it got truly, well, extreme? Enter Slingo XXXtreme, a game that supercharges the Slingo formula with a stripped-down, rapid action approach to the formula. Wilds and Super Wilds keep it snappy by giving you a chance to mark off more numbers on the grid, while the high volatility leads to even more enjoyment when paired with the 95% RTP.
Slingo Monopoly
Want to combine Slingo with your favourite board game? Then Slingo Monopoly is the game for you. This licensed title has you make your way around the Monopoly board, buying properties as you do. This way your slingos actually consist of property sets! The game is also packed with fun animations as Mr Monopoly guides you through the action.
What Makes These Slingo Games Fun?
The success of Slingo hinges on its brilliant pairing of slot and bingo mechanics, but that’s not all one can find in a hit Slingo title. A unique Slingo variant further boosts the core game with even more features. These can consist of high volatility action, bright visuals, or even more bonus modes. Let’s take a closer look at these elements and how they can take a Slingo title to the next level!
Game RTP and Volatility
The terms RTP and volatility should be familiar to anyone who plays slots, but in case you’re not we’ll explain. The RTP - short for Return to Player - is how much a game theoretically gives back to the player over a long period of play. As you might expect, this means that the higher the RTP, the better for you (although do keep in mind that, ultimately, these are games of pure chance). These popular Slingo titles all have an RTP of at least 95%, if not more.
Meanwhile the volatility refers to the risk factor. Do you prefer games that are high risk but potentially high reward, or a more relaxed experience? Slingo XXXtreme, as the name suggests, is a high volatility game that’s all about the fun, while the similarly popular Slingo Monopoly takes a more relaxed medium volatility approach.
Visual Style and Themes
It’s a fact that a game first needs to appeal to the eyes if it’s going to bring in the players. This is especially the case with modern games, where players expect the best in visuals and audio. All the popular Slingo games hit the mark in this case, as they represent their unique themes with excellent graphics. Look at the animations of Slingo Centurion, or the slick stylings of Slingo Starburst, for proof of this. That said, sometimes a stripped-down visual style can work wonders, such as in the case of Slingo XXXtreme. Here we have a no nonsense game that’s ultimately all about the engaging gameplay as opposed to any stylistic frippery!
Variants with Special Bonuses
Regular Slingo gameplay is great, but it can truly be enhanced through the addition of bonus features. As you can see from our selection of popular games, each of these brings its unique bonuses into play. Slingo Monopoly adds a board game element to the proceedings by replacing the grid with property sets, not to mention its dice rolling feature. Meanwhile Slingo Starbursts adapts the expanding wilds from the source slot to the Slingo context, as it adds wilds that can fill entire columns to allow you to form more winning slingos.
The appeal of these bonus features is simple - they brighten the regular Slingo action to be more about merely spinning the reels and marking off numbers. After all, if you wanted the classic gameplay you can simply go ahead and replay the still great original, right?
Why Slingo is Such a Hit Game
Slingo’s appeal lies in its versatility. While the pairing of slots and bingo remains as compelling as ever, it can be further tweaked to create some truly unique experiences. The games can be slow and relaxing or fast and engaging, and while the formula remains reassuringly familiar it can be changed through the addition of different themes and bonus features.
Another fact is that Slingo games can be played on any device, from your desktop and laptop PCs to smartphones and tablets. All of these games are built using HTML5, which allows them to run on internet browsers with no additional downloads required. So you can enjoy Slingo and its variants anytime, anywhere, and the format allows you to have fun for either a few minutes or longer sessions.
