Slingo X Scream Game Review

We like the haunting atmosphere Slingo Originals has managed to capture in Slingo X Scream, and the game does offer some relaxing fun for punters who’re into the whole Halloween thing. This is not a game you play for life-changing payouts however, and the math model is weak even for this genre. The top prize of 500x is far from easy to get to, at least if you don’t want to pay for extra spins.

Only up to 8 extra spins can be paid for here, while many other slingo titles offer indefinite extra spins. Most of the time you will need this feature to get anywhere remotely significant on the prize ladder, but you can also win up to 8 extra spins via free spins symbols. Each round comes with 11 regular spins, and special joker symbols allow you to mark off chosen positions. This is where strategy enters the equation, and you can learn more about that below.

Slingo X Scream Features

You get 11 spins per paid round, and you can also purchase up to 8 extra spins after that. How many extra spins you’re able to buy can be adjusted all the way down to zero in the Play Controls menu.

The paid extra spin price is calculated individually per spin, and it can get quite expensive depending on where you stand on the prize ladder.

The pumpkin lantern Joker symbol can land instead of the regular numbers, and this symbol allows you to mark off any number on the column directly above. There is also a Super Joker cat symbol that allows you to mark off any number you want on the entire grid. Per usual, it’s always best to complete slingos if possible, or pick the center and corner positions for multiple slingos later.

Free spins symbols can land also, and these provide 1 extra spin per symbol up to 8 at the most. Devil symbols are blocker symbols with no other attributes, and coins can land to award instant cash prizes. There is also a smaller Joker Bonus cash prize that’s awarded when you land 3+ jokers and/or super jokers on the same spin.

The 200 Spins Slingo X Scream Experience

You get to see 2 full rounds in our 4:16-minute highlights video, and we purchased plenty of extra spins to attempt to climb all the way to the top of the prize ladder.

A full house was not achieved however, but you can see for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

Slingo Originals has managed to create a decently spooky atmosphere in Slingo X Scream, not least thanks to a well-made soundtrack and backdrop animations. Slingo can be a relaxing break from regular slots, but you’re dealing with an under par math model in this release. The 95 % RTP assumes that you always follow the best possible strategy, and there is in-game info on how to do exactly that.

Basically, you need to complete slingos whenever you can via the Joker and Super Joker symbols, or mark off positions that can lead to multiple slingos later. The 500x Full House Prize is not extremely exciting, not even compared to other slingo games, but we get that this is a seasonal release that’s not meant to be played all year around. For that purpose it works, but there are far better alternatives for those who could care less about Halloween.

Pros

• Joker and Super Joker symbols
• Up to 8 free spins can be collected
• Up to 8 paid extra spins per round

Cons

• The 500x potential is below par
• 95 % RTP (best strategy) is below slot average

If you appreciate Slingo X Scream you should also try:

Slingo Starburst - is a popular merging of NetEnt’s iconic title with the bingo/slot hybrid concept. It’s all about completing slingos to climb the win spin ladder, and this can award up to 3 expanding wild respins on the Starburst slot. The max win is a decent 1,500x your stake.

Slingo Rainbow Riches - is the most popular slingo release to date, and it’s based on the equally popular Irish Luck slot series. You can win up to 7 different bonus games from the prize ladder, and this can lead to payouts up to 1,000x your stake.

Slingo Fluffy Favourites - is based around the highly popular fairground slot franchise, and it’s all about landing slingos so you can enter the infamous toybox pick bonus game.

This can lead to payouts up to 2,500x your stake, which, if nothing else, is at least solid for the slingo genre.
