Slingo X-Scream

New Slingo game releases are always something to look forward to, especially in the last year or so. The game has become so popular that developers can now afford to put a massive amount of time and effort into improving production standards, and with impressive results!

And Slingo X-Scream by Slingo Originals is a perfect example. Unlike some other releases like Slingo Cash Buster by Instant Win Gaming, the game isn't packed full of extra features. Instead, Slingo Originals have concentrated on the graphics and overall design, producing a spine-chillingly ghoulish experience.

The 5x5 grid is set against a background of a spooky mist-shrouded forest with what we hope are bats flitting across the screen. A ball full of fire-rimmed eyeballs helps you keep track of your spins, and an animated pumpkin wild lets out an eerie laugh every time he lands. And if you are lucky enough to win a full house, a cheerful top-hatted skeleton will do a little dance for you. All of this is accompanied by a suitably blood-curdling soundtrack.

The betting range is nothing to be scared of, however, as it starts at a very reasonable 0.50 and goes all the way up to 100.00 for all the high rollers out there. Whatever betting level you choose, you will receive 11 initial spins to complete as many Slingos as possible. You can win a maximum of eight Free Spins, and purchase an additional 8, although this could end up costing you a lot more than your initial bet.

Twenty-five random numbers between 1 and 90 will fill the 5x5 grid. The aim of the game is to mark these off by landing a matching number on the 5x1 set of reels below. As you mark off all five numbers in any of the lines that cross the grid diagonally, vertical, and horizontally, you complete Slingos. Each Slingo completed moves you one position up the prize ladder to the left of the grid. To help you get as far up the price ladder as possible, there are a few extra symbols.

The first is a sinister carved pumpkin Joker lantern. Despite appearances, this is a good guy, acting as a Wild and allowing you to mark off any number in the column above. The Super Joker Lantern allows you to mark off any number on the grid. 

An eyeball is the Free Spin symbol, and Coins stacks will give you an instant payout of 0.20 x your stake. The fiery horned skull is the Devil, who pops up to block a position on the reels and reduce your chances of making a Slingo.

This is a classic Slingo game, and that means it doesn't have much in the way of bonus features apart from the chance to win some Free Spins. But there is still a chance to pick up some extra cash prizes. Coin Stacks will award 0.2 x the bet. And the Jokers can also help boost your balance. Landing 3, 4, or 5 of the Joker or Super Lanterns will win you 0.5 x, 2 x, and 5 x the bet, respectively
