Slingo mixes bingo with slot reels. You get a card of numbers, and as the reels spin, matching squares are crossed off with the aim of completing lines. If you are looking for Slingo at Mr Green, check the games on visit Mr Green, then compare the rules of any version you find. Slingo sits between two familiar formats, so it appeals to bingo fans and slot players alike. Results are random, and each version's paytable explains its prizes.
Common Slingo variants
Slingo is developed by Gaming Realms, and the same grid-and-reels format is used across many themed versions. The common variants include Slingo Lucky Larry's Lobstermania, Slingo Rainbow Riches, Deal or No Deal Slingo, Slingo Starburst, Slingo Da Vinci Diamonds, Slingo Reel King, Slingo Centurion, Slingo Money Train, Slingo Fire and Ice and Slingo Sweet Bonanza. Each keeps the core card and reel mechanics but changes the theme, the symbols and the bonus features.
Themes differ a lot, so the name alone does not tell you how a version plays. Two titles with familiar characters can have different features, paytables and maximum wins. Read the help screen in the game before you start.
Not every variant is offered everywhere. Check the game list at Mr Green to see which titles are listed, rather than assuming a particular version is there. If the one you want is missing, a similar Slingo title may suit you instead.
How a Slingo round works
Slingo combines a bingo-style card with spinning reels. The card holds numbers in a grid. When the reels stop, the numbers that appear are matched against the squares on your card, and matching squares are crossed off.
Completing a line of squares, horizontal, vertical or diagonal, is what counts towards a prize. The exact prize for each line and any bonus features are set out in the paytable of each version, so check it before you play.
Each spin is decided by a random number generator. Your timing, the number of spins you have made or the stake you choose do not change what the reels show. Stakes are placed within the UK stake limit for online slots, and the options available are shown in the game.
Features differ between versions, and the help screen explains how each one works and what triggers it.

RNG and live versions
The Slingo version you play on screen runs on a random number generator (RNG). The software decides each spin and resolves the round immediately, with no dealer involved.
A live game show is streamed from a studio, with a real presenter who runs the show. Players join at the scheduled time and watch the draw together. Results in live shows are also random, but the pace, the social feel and the presentation are different.
If you want to compare formats, see live casino. Neither version is more likely to pay out, because each result is set by chance.
Practical tips before you play
Read the paytable and rules for the version you choose, since features differ between titles. Decide on a budget and a time limit before you start, and choose a stake you are comfortable losing. If a session does not go well, stop rather than raising the stake.
Before you claim any offer, read its terms on the welcome bonus page. T&Cs apply. For budget tools and other ways to stay in control, see safer gambling. If you plan to play on a phone, check the mobile version first.
