Getting Started with Slingo

So, you want to play Slingo online – do you know the rules? You may even still be asking yourself, “What is Slingo?” Not to worry! You can still jump on board the Slingo train today! Think slots, think bingo, you’ve got Slingo! The game’s grid is 5x5 and there are 5 slot reels that spin numbers. When a number appears on a reel, it’s marked off the grid – much like a bingo card!

You start Slingo with 20 spins on the Slingo slots, although some games might give you more or less, depending on things like RTP and volatility. Underneath the bingo grid with 25 squares are the reels. The prize ladder is to the side. This shows your progress to cash prizes and special bonuses. Hit the big spin button to begin.

The core aim of online Slingo is to match the numbers that appear on the slot reels with the ones on your bingo grid. Each completed line of 5 numbers increases your score and potential payouts, as well as your chance at bonus games and extra features. When your set spins are up, you’ll collect whatever prize you won.

Playing Slingo: Step-by-Step Guide

Log in or register at Unibet as a first step to playing Slingo. Then, deposit your Slingo funds. If you’re a new Unibet customer, you’ll get a £40 free welcome bonus when you deposit £10, so you can use that on Slingo bingo games and potentially get free wins!

Head to our catalogue of Slingo games and pick the one that entices you most. Will it be a classic Slingo game? Or will you try your luck at a modern reimagining of Slingo like the ever-popular Rainbow Riches Slingo? Whatever you choose, it’s time now to get those slot reels spinning – so choose your stake and hit the spin button!

You start with around 10-20 spins, with each one revealing 5 numbers or symbols on the reels. The numbers that appear are automatically marked off your bingo grid, but also pay attention to any special symbols that appear. Match 5 numbers in a row horizontally, vertically, or diagonally to increase your Slingo score.

You can also buy extra spins if you want more Slingos when your initial set of spins runs out. This is ideal if you’re close to a jackpot or bonus game and just need that extra little boost at the end!

Common Symbols and Their Functions

Slingo has many special symbols and bonus features to look out for. Jokers, free spins, gold coins, devils, cherubs…there are so many special bonuses and hidden mechanics that make Slingo even more exciting!
Here are the common symbols of Slingo (obviously, these may vary between variants) and what they do:

• Jokers: Jokers are wilds (kind of like in slot games) and can be placed anywhere on the grid, as long as it’s in the same column as the reel it appeared in.
• Super Jokers: Want even more flexibility than a regular joker? Try and find a super joker! These let you mark off any number in the entire grid.
• Free Spins: Any fan of slots will know what free spins means. Find a free spins symbol on the reels and get extra spins for free!
• Gold Coins: This is another typical special symbol in Slingo games. Gold coins give you instant wins and cash prizes, with the value of your payout depending on a set amount.
• Devils: Devils are the worst symbol to find in Slingo. They actively hinder you, decreasing your score and blocking certain squares on the grid. They’re easily the worst thing about Slingo, unless you find…
• Cherubs: A cherub can counteract a devil by chasing him off with arrows. This stops your score being reduced and keeps your winning streak going.

Winning at Slingo

You know the rules of Slingo now but how do you go about winning? Well, the main thing is you have to understand the prize ladder. Every row or column or diagonal line you complete will give you Slingo points and help you climb higher in the prize ladder. And a higher climb means bigger rewards.

Your ultimate goal is to achieve a full house. You’ll know what this means if you’ve ever played bingo before, but in case you haven’t, a full house is where you get all the numbers marked off. When you do this, you’ll get the top prize and activate any bonus games too!

You earn points by completing Slingos, and you get bonus points for completing multiple Slingos in a single game. Want to maximise your win and make sure you get the highest prize possible? Use your jokers and super jokers tactically – the middle and corner squares are the best places to put them!
