There’s no two ways about it. Bingo is an extremely popular game and will always be a part of the UK’s DNA. However, there is a variant that’s taken off in fine style, and has popped up on many a gamer’s radar. Slingo is the name of the game: it’s a combination of the beloved bingo game – and slots! Players can get the best of both worlds and take on two popular game formats at the same time.

Let’s take a look at the top five games that you should try:

1. Slingo Rainbow Riches

Get ready for an epic gaming mash-up like no other in Slingo Rainbow Riches. You’re presented with a colourful world of the familiar Rainbow Riches slot, but this time it’s on a grid. This Irish-themed game takes you on an adventure filled with oodles of luck and gorgeous emerald scenery.

How to play

After the game has loaded, you’re greeted by an introduction and an explanation of the rules. Press “OK” to proceed to the game. On the left of the screen, you can adjust the bet size by pressing the “-” or “+” icon. Once you’ve made your selection, press the green button marked “Start Game”. Play will begin and the fun is unleashed.

You’re in for a vibrant, colourful treat in this neat online game offering. This game has rolling fields and mountains in the background. The interface is neatly set out and pretty easy to navigate. Symbols include a special Joker, devil, mushroom, and (of course) a leprechaun. The traditional Irish music enhances the theme, and will inspire you to spin for your chance to land epic wins.

Features

The special Joker symbol allows you to pick up numbers that you haven’t cleared on the reels yet. As you spin, any new matching symbols on your grid to the column above that you accumulate and win are added to your total. You can unlock five bonus games, depending on whether you hit 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 Slingos on your scorecard. The bonus games include pick-and-choose formats as well as spin-the-wheel games.

With an RTP (return to player) of 95.6% and medium variance, this game offers fairly consistent and decent wins – while being nicely easy on the eye.

2. Deal or No Deal Slingo

Take Deal or No Deal to new heights with this thrilling version. Based on the world-famous TV show, Deal or No Deal Slingo comes packed with some stellar features.

How to play

To start playing, you must set your bet in the game by pressing the “+” and “-” buttons on the stake tab. Next, just like in the TV version of the game, you must pick a box that will be set aside. You’ll receive 10 spins with each one, placing five numbers on your reel. Once you match any numbers from your reel to the column above, the box will be opened and reveal your prize.

Gaming Realms has outdone itself with the graphics. You will be transported to the Deal or No Deal game show with the game’s incredibly realistic visuals. And you are sure to experience a real hot-seat moment in this casino game as you pick numbered boxes and attempt to reach the iconic “banker’s offer”. The game includes symbols such as the Joker, Super Joker, devil and a free spin.

Features

In this casino game, the Joker works as the wild symbol and provides the opportunity to open any box in the column. Once you’ve used all your 10 spins, the “Free Spin” symbol gives you an additional go towards the end of the game. When you’ve created four Slingos, you’ll unlock the famous banker’s offer, which gives you the chance to either take the deal at the end of the game – or reject it and keep on playing.

This extraordinary game has an RTP of 95%, and comes with plenty of winning opportunities. Are you ready to jump in the hot seat and start playing this fun game?

3. Slingo Riches

If you’re looking for a truly immersive casino game, Slingo Riches offers plenty of interaction. With an RTP of 95% and medium variance, this is a fun game that allows you to enjoy the absolute best of both slots and bingo. Interestingly, there’s also some strategy required when it comes to choosing where to place your wild joker numbers.

How to play

It’s pretty easy to play this casino game: the aim is to fill your bingo board. It’s played on a 5x5 grid, and to the right of the reels, there’s a hopper full of bingo balls. Once you press the green “Spin” button, the pink balls in the hopper spin. The line below the board will fill up with five numbers, or Jokers – the game’s wild.

Before you start spinning, you must set your preferred bet size in a range from 0.5 to 100 coins.

Graphics

Slingo Riches is set on a blue and purple background. The game interface is quite basic, which helps with the ease of learning this new bingo and slot format. The smiling Joker symbol delights with its wild-symbol function. As you match numbers, the reels are populated with green stars. The music provides a brick-and-mortar ambience at the same time as you’re given the best online casino experience. What more could we ask for!

Features

The number of spins you have available is displayed on a box. The symbols include the Joker, which allows you to choose any number on your grid to mark off in the row that the symbol appears.

We think this is a simple but extremely fun game to play – and there’s definitely plenty of interactive engagement for a bingo variant!
