Slingo Reel King | Slot Demo & Review ➤ Slingo Originals

Slingo Reel King slot review

The collab between Inspired Gaming and Gaming Realms (Slingo Originals) continues to bear fruit as a second franchise gets a Slingo upgrade. Slingo Reel King is a new fantastic addition to the developers' portfolios, bringing a whole new level of entertainment to the legendary brand of Reel King with the injection of Slingo mechanics.

We couldn’t be more delighted to extend our successful partnership with Gaming Realms [Owner of the Slingo brand]. Following the acquisition of the Novomatic Gaming Technology Group (“NTG”) in October 2019 the Reel King brand is the jewel in our crown and after the success of Slingo Centurion, we know customers are going to love this new brand tie-up.

Slingo Reel King - Slot Outlook

Red Tiger and Greentube have produced a wide range of slots to supplement the Reel King suite of games, and after Inspired Gaming's foray into the world of Megaways, the franchise was believed to reach the final point in its evolution. Not at all, however, as the licensing agreement with Slingo Originals was struck and became a new cornerstone of its development. Slingo Reel King pays homage to the original part and keeps the most notable element, the Reel King bonus game, meanwhile offering players to experience a new way to play the legendary slot.

Slingo Reel King: Game Screen

Slingo is a mix of classic slots and 75-ball bingo. The actions take place across a 5x5 grid and an extra 5x1 reel. Players will have 11 spins to match bingo numbers on the reel with those displayed on the grid. Scoring win requires filling at least one line, and cash prizes increase with every line players manage to complete. A top win can be claimed by achieving full house, or to be more precise, completing all 12 lines, which will award a prize of 500x of the bet.

Speaking of stats, Slingo Reel King comes with the math model identical to those found in many other Slingo Original's brainchildren. It's powered by the low-medium volatile math model, while the RTP is below the average level at 95%. The betting range is rather standard too, offering players to place wagers from 0.2$ to 25$ per round.

Slingo Reel King - Bonus Features

As alluded to earlier, the famous Reel King bonus game plays a central role in the gameplay here. It's triggered in the same way as in the original Reel King slot. On any spin, each reel may randomly produce a 'ding' sound and get lit, moving you around the bonus trail situated above the grid. If 5 or more segments on the bonus trail are lit, the first stage of the Reel King feature is triggered. The trail can randomly hold at the beginning of any spin to help you advance. Making it to the top of the trail will take 9 'dings' and award the highest stage of the Reel King feature, and depending on the number of lit segments on the trail, players will get the following prizes:

• 5 lit segments - Reel King bonus. Awards 1-3 Reel King characters.
• 6 lit segments - Great King bonus. Awards 2-4 Reel King characters.
• 7 lit segments - Super King bonus. Awards 3-5 Reel King characters.
• 8 lit segments - Mega King bonus. Awards 4-6 Reel King characters.
• 9 lit segments - Ultra King bonus. Awards 7-9 Reel King characters.

All Reel King characters will one by one spin their own 3x1 mini-slots and keep awarding cash prizes until there is a losing spin.

Slingo Reel King: Reel King Bonus Feature

Alongside the highlight Reel King feature, players will also benefit from standard Slingo extras, including the following:

• Wild - allows to mark-off any number in the respective row above the reel.
• Super Wild - allows to mark-off any number on the entire grid.
• Free Spin - awards an additional spin to the total tally.
• Blocker - blocks potential matches on the grid.

Players can also buy additional spins after each game to have an extra chance of completing a line. The price of each extra spin is dependant on the number of already filled positions, so it may exceed initial bet levels.

Slingo Reel King - Verdict

Reel King remains one of Inspired’s most popular and successful brands and we are very excited to partner with them to bring something new to this firm favorite for players worldwide. Following the successful launch of Slingo Centurion earlier this year, we have no doubt that the game will be well received by existing and new players.
