"Slingo. Is this the first time you ever heard of it? I found out about it when the GDR asked for a review of it. I did a little searching and discovered it's popular on AOL. Of course, I don't use AOL so I wouldn't ever have heard of it even if I saw the game on the store shelf. Maybe that's just Hasbro's lack of marketing or general gaming interest in other, ah, more flashy games. I don't know about this firsthand, but where AOL is concerned, I get the feeling of something along the lines of "Why buy the cow when the milk is free?" But, it looked like an entertaining diversion so I volunteered and was assigned to the review. I quickly became impressed at the depth of this here wading pool.

"Let's be honest now. This game literally is WYSIWYG. Combine Bingo with Slots, add some random elements, stir gently for an even mix and serve with a crazy straw."

"I like playing Slingo and for more than just the budget price. I'll be playing the game as long as the on-line support exists. Oh sure, I'll play offline too, but the fun definitely begins on-line chatting with others as you play. The game's glitches prevent me from recommending the Silver Award. That and the somewhat lack of interest on the Internet for this game. Some games on the Zone have hundreds of players, whereas the busiest I ever saw Slingo was about a dozen..."
