Slingo Tips

Slingo combines bingo and slots in a game that tasks players with earning the most points in order to win. Players mark their Slingo cards using numbers obtained from spinning a reel below the card (in a similar fashion to a slot machine), and earn points by marking numbers, making bingos (called Slingos here) and hitting certain symbols, such as coins, on the reel.


Work Quickly


You have a time limit for both spinning your reel and marking off any applicable numbers on your card and placing any wild jokers on the card. If you let the time expire, you lose one of your 20 spins.


Completing Patterns


Advance to the next round by completing the shaded patterns on your Slingo card. If you get a joker on the reel underneath one of your columns, use the joker on any uncovered shaded squares so that you can complete your pattern faster.


Slingo Bonus


After you've covered up shaded squares and receive another joker, carefully study your card and place it in a square that will allow you to complete multiple Slingos, if possible, to receive a bonus for the play.


Super Joker Play


Sometimes during a game, a joker in the center square of the board will become a Super Joker, which allows you to play the symbol in any column on the card. Before placing this Super Joker, look at the numbers and any jokers on the reel below the card to make sure you haven't already earned a mark on the square on which you are considering putting the Super Joker.
