The official Slingo site used to have just one multiplayer bingo game, but now there’s a full suite of Pragmatic Play bingo rooms along with masses of other Slingo, slot and casino games. The welcome bonus is for slots.
Slingo.com was originally on Gaming Realms’ own platform and when it was first launched back in 2016 it was used to showcase their multiplayer Slingo game Slingo Boom as well as all of the single player versions of Slingo that you’re probably more familiar with. Slingo is a mash-up of slots and bingo and Slingo Boom, being multiplayer, was much more bingo like than most versions of the game. It was basically 75 ball bingo on steroids, with 5 numbers called at a time and extra excitement provided by the jesters who marked off numbers randomly. Each player had just one card so everyone had an equal chance of winning.
Unlike the single player versions of the game, Slingo Boom never really caught on. Not only it is now gone, the Gaming Realms platform itself is now gone after they decided to concentrate on what they do best – creating innovative games – and Slingo.com moved to the Skill On Net platform in Spring 2020.
Some time later, a true bingo product was added. It’s been a feature at several of Skill of Net casinos since late 2021, but at most of them you would never notice it was there unless you searched for it. At Slingo.com, on the other hand, the bingo is given quite a lot of prominence on the home page, along with more than 60 Slingo games, some slot games that are much loved by bingo players (think pink elephants!) and some live casino game shows. If that selection of games speaks to you, you’ll love it at this site.
First, the bingo. It’s basically all of the familiar Pragmatic Play network rooms with 30 ball, 80 ball, 75 ball, regular 90 ball and the specials Drop Pots and Bingo Blast plus regular jackpots and any seasonal specials that may be running; in August 2023 a new 50 ball bingo game made an appearance as just such a special. All of these rooms are so widely networked that there’s almost always a game on with decent prize money but (as is the case with the vast majority of Pragmatic Play bingo sites) it’s just bingo, no chat. It’s easily playable on mobile devices as well as on larger screens (and in fact the no chat helps to keep the screen clutter free on mobile devices) and you can buy tickets up to 28 days in advance, making it easily the most powerful pre-buy feature currently available.
Next, the Slingo. As you’d expect from the official home of Slingo, Slingo.com has a very comprehensive selection of Slingo games plus a few other Slingo Originals games like Baking Bonanza and Pigasus. There’s also a wealth of information on site and in the attached blog about all of the different Slingo games and their features and you can even sign up for the Slingo newsletter if that appeals.
How about the slot games? As at all Skill on Net sites, there are literally thousands of them. The jackpots alone include Dream Drop, IGT Megajackpots, Jackpot King, Age of the Gods, Eyecon Super & Mega Jackpots and many others, and there’s a whole separate lobby area for Red Tiger daily jackpots. You’re really never going to run out of games to play.
Finally there is the casino and (again as at all Skill on Net sites) there’s roulette, blackjack and live casino gameshows from all three major providers – Playtech, Evolution and Pragmatic Play. You won’t find a better selection of game shows at any other UK facing site.
Promotions at Slingo.com are mostly delivered via Daily Picks which serves individual players with offers that are most suited to them. There’s a reminder about this on the promotions page together with information about exclusives, network tournaments and the Skill on Net “Prize Twister” bonus game.
Making a deposit at Slingo.com is really easy. When logged in, just press the Deposit button to be presented with a screen showing methods you can use, choose one and away you go! Information about minimum amounts and charges (mostly zero) is clearly shown on the banking screens and there’s also a link to remind you to set a deposit limit and another one to information about players funds protection (which is higher level than at many other casinos).
Is Slingo.com a great place to play bingo? Absolutely, as long as you aren’t bothered about chat! There’s a good choice of different types of bingo and a stunning selection of other games. Enjoy!
