Slingo Bells Review

Aptly named Christmas-themed release, Slingo Bells brings the spirit of seasonal winter fests to the player-favorite genre. Combining video slots and bingo, it provides a unique kind of gameplay, capable of delivering unbelieva-bell Santa gifts of up to 1,000x the stake.

Slingo Bells - Slot Outlook

Making a reference to the popular 'Jingle Bells' song, Slingo Bells invites you to a perfect spot for a lovely Christmas night. However, it would be better if Slingo Originals have added the original soundtrack to the game, though, a piece of jolly music still captures the essential Christmas vibes and keeps players in the right mood. But what a play on the title indeed. Anyway, the actions take place at a beautifully decorated house, packed with lights, bells, and stockings, which altogether produce a warm homely atmosphere.

Slingo Bells Slot - Reel Screen

Dominating the view is a 5x5 grid made up of different bingo numbers. Much like any other Slingo game, Slingo Bells plays differently in comparison to common slots. First and foremost, players select preferred stakes from €0.2 to €100, which gives 11 spins of the 5x1 reel below the grid.

The purpose is simple - match numbers on the grid with those shown on the spinning reel. Completing a full line will advance players on the prize ladder, where greater rewards are offered for a bigger number of lines filled. There are 12 win lines in total, and rewards start from 1x and go all the way up to 1,000x.

Slingo Bells has a theoretical RTP of 95%, both in the base game and extra spins mode. However, the prices of extra spins are rounded to the nearest whole value that, in turn, may alter the return rate slightly.

The volatility is low, rated by the developer 1 out of 5.

Slingo Bells - Bonus Features

There's a range of bonus symbols included in the Slingo Bells slot that can appear on any spin to award a respective bonus, or just nothing, which is the case with X Symbols. Those are blockers that don't contribute anything except block winning from being scored. The other bonus symbols bring generous perks, which are the following:

• Present symbol - acts as Wild, allowing players to mark off any number in the row above.
• Santa symbol - acts as Super Wild, allowing players to mark off any number in the whole grid.
• Coin symbol - awards an instant cash prize of 0.5x the bet. Appears on the center reel only.
• Free Spin symbol - awards +1 additional spin. Appears on the center reel only. Removed from the reels during extra spins.

Players can also receive additional cash prizes via the Scatter Bonus feature, which is triggered when 3 or more Santa or Present symbols appear on a single spin. Landing 3, 4, and 5 symbols awards 0.5x, 2x, and 5x the stake respectively.

Finally, players can buy extra spins to continue playing when they run out of initial spins and free spins. Those are available after each game, and their price is dependant on your current progress on the prize ladder and symbol positions on the grid, which can go up to 25x the initial bet.

There's no limit to the number of extra spins you can buy.

Slingo Bells - Slot Verdict

Slingo Bells has a lot of Christmas cheer, given its gorgeous outer look and an exciting bingo meets slots gameplay format. All said and done, although it sticks to a common Slingo framework and offers nothing quite new, it's still a decent option for those willing to take a break from volatile blockbusters
