Slingo: The Original Slots-and-Bingo Hybrid

Slingo is a game genre and a content brand rolled into one. It merges the reels of a slot with the number grid of bingo, and the Slingo Originals catalogue lets operators offer something players cannot find in a standard slot lobby.

What Is Slingo?

Slingo has developed online casino content since 1994, but it is not a typical supplier of slots and table games. The company concentrates on a single genre that it invented and named after itself.

The word Slingo joins "slots" and "bingo", and the game does the same. Dave Lyons and Sal Falciglia created it in 1994 and founded the company and brand behind it. The format caught on quickly, and the business grew into a popular games provider with more than 33 original Slingo titles.

Over 400,000 users now play Slingo on the company's own site, and the games are also available at other online casinos. Slingo keeps improving its original titles, and Slingo Rainbow Riches has earned awards including WhichBingo's Innovation of the Year in 2018 and ICE's Game to Watch award.

Technology

Slingo's team invests heavily in improving its games and keeping its large community happy. The company has kept the Slingo Originals at the technical forefront, and every title has now been moved to HTML5, so it runs on PCs, smartphones and tablets.

The technology behind Slingo is proprietary and not used by other content developers. Rather than building slots or table games, the studio refines its signature format and looks for new ways to make it more entertaining and immersive.

In-Game Features and Promotions

Each Slingo game has its own set of bonus features, and some titles include special promotions with valuable prizes. Triggering these features is where the biggest wins come from.
