Slingo XXXtreme Express

Slingo XXXtreme Express blends slot reels with a numbered grid, and the whole thing runs at a brisk pace. Reel symbols land beneath the grid, and matching numbers get dabbed off as you go.

You start with 9 spins in the base game. Every completed Slingo moves you up the Payladder, which is the ranking of awards sitting alongside the grid.

There are 12 win lines in total: horizontal, vertical and diagonal. A single dab can complete more than one line at once, and the final number on the grid will always finish at least two lines, which is why the ladder shows fewer steps than there are lines.

Based on best strategy, the standard game carries a theoretical RTP of 95.11%. That figure is a long-term statistical average calculated across a very large number of plays, not an indication of what any single session will do.

If the format appeals, there is a full shelf of slingo online titles built on the same reels-meet-grid idea.

Game Features

Wild

• Wilds let you mark any number in the column directly above them.
• They are collected beneath their specific reel during the base game.
• Wilds also act as a scatter.

Super Wild

• Super Wilds can mark any number anywhere on the grid.
• They gather into a single meter rather than sitting under one reel.
• Super Wilds also act as a scatter.

Collection of Wilds and Super Wilds happens in the base game only. Once your spins are finished, the collected symbols can be placed on the grid.

Bonus Spin

Bonus Spin symbols add an extra spin to the base Slingo game. They appear in the base game only.

Blocker

Blocker symbols turn up on the centre reel and award nothing whatsoever, which is precisely the job they applied for.

Scatter

A combination of three, four or five Wild or Super Wild symbols landing anywhere on the reel in a single spin awards a Scatter win. Only the highest Scatter prize awarded is paid, and Scatter wins come in addition to any Slingo wins.

Instant Cash

Instant Cash symbols appear on the centre reel only and pay in addition to Slingo wins.

Extra Spins

Extra Spins become available after each game, with the potential wins still in play displayed in turn. Some potential prizes during extra spins may require Super Wilds to reach.

SuperSpin Wheel

Once an extra spin passes a set threshold, the spin option is replaced by the SuperSpin Wheel. If the arrow lands in the green section of the wheel, a spin of the Slingo reel follows. The wheel does not alter the chance of success on the Slingo reel itself.

Best Strategy

Best strategy, as defined in the game rules, places Wilds and Super Wilds in the position that brings the grid closest to completing a Slingo. Where several positions meet that condition equally, preference goes to the square featuring in the most win lines, so the central square ranks highly because it sits in a horizontal, a vertical and both diagonals. Where no preference applies, the choice is random.

Taste & Feel

The presentation is stripped back and purposeful: a numbered grid up top, reels spinning below, and a Payladder tracking your climb line by line. Nothing is buried, and it is easy to read the state of the board at a glance.

Wilds, Super Wilds, Bonus Spins, Blockers and Instant Cash symbols give the reel strip plenty of character, with the Blocker glowering out from the centre reel like a bouncer who has been told the guest list is full.

The rhythm is short and snappy rather than sprawling, with each dab, each completed line and each rung of the ladder marked clearly as the grid fills in.

If you fancy exploring further, Slingo Hot Roll and Slingo Journey to Asgard are two more slingo games online worth a look whenever you have a quiet moment.
