For players that like to indulge in Halloween festivities, this game could be worth checking out. Slingo X-Scream is set deep in the middle of a spooky forest that is illuminated with two lone pumpkins. Apart from this, the Slingo board and ball machine take centre stage. Besides being visually intriguing, Slingo X-Scream has various features, including two different instant-win mechanics!
This game was produced by Slingo Originals, who are known for producing high-quality games that combine different aspects of Bingo with slots. While Slingo X-Scream is certainly a popular release, other titles such as Slingo Starbust and Slingo Sweet Bonanza have also performed well for the provider in the past.
Slingo X-Scream is played across a 5x5 board, with players being randomly given 25 numbers to try and match. Every time a line of crossed off numbers is formed, the player will be awarded with a Slingo, which allows them to make progress up the board located to the left of the main card. The maximum potential win for this game sits at 500x the bet size, which is awarded for a full house.
Of course, players should focus on the numbers being matched. With that being said, there are special symbols that can help to create additional Slingos. These are known as jokers and work in the same way as Wild symbols do in similar games. Standard jokers are shown as pumpkins and allow the player to cross off any of the numbers directly above it.
Next up is a black cat icon, which isn’t actually linked to bad luck within this slot. These are the super jokers within Slingo X-Scream. Landing one of these across the bottom reel will give the player the opportunity to remove any number on the board, regardless of its position. Silver coins are perhaps the most desirable symbol within Slingo X-Scream, as it is directly linked to the bonus.
The final two symbols are the free spins icons and a devilish Skull. As most people would assume, the first of these two symbols will give an extra spin. On the other hand, the skull acts as a blocker and does nothing apart from occupying one position on the reel.
As previously mentioned, there are two instant-win mechanics within Slingo X-Scream. The first can be achieved by landing three or more joker symbols during one spin. Should this happen, a rather grim-looking character will appear with a fixed prize. At the end of the round, this will be added to any other potential winnings before being awarded to the player.
The other way is by landing a coin in the reel below the board. Should this happen, an instant cash prize will be awarded. Like with a lot of other Slingo games, players also have the opportunity to purchase extra spins, if they wish. The cost of these spins will vary depending on which prizes can potentially be won!
Fast-paced, spooky games are perhaps best suited for the Halloween period. However, some punters like to stay in this spirit throughout the year, which will perhaps make Slingo X-Scream a popular choice!
