Game Overview
Traditionally, bingo was often viewed as a game played by groups of elderly people in dingy, musty-smelling halls. Recently, it has evolved into a more fashionable pastime, enjoyed by people of all ages through booze-fuelled social events and online play. The creation of Slingo improved old-school bingo even further, combining it with the action and excitement of online slots. This latest Slingo variant from Gaming Realms adds another popular gambling mechanism into the mix – dice. It is called Slingo Hot Roll, and it features a maximum win of 1,000x and an RTP of 94.58%
As we open up this title, we’ll find bold, colourful graphics and flaming dice galore. The gameplay occurs on a typical 5×5 grid, where up to 12 Slingo’s can be matched. At the start of each round, ten spins will commence, each generating five numbers, or wilds. If any of these match the numbers on your card, they will be marked, and a Slingo will be awarded for each full line made. Players also have the option to purchase additional spins at the end of the initial ten to help them fill missing slots, which can get very expensive! Several features can be won depending on the number of lines completed, ranging from a single dice roll for one line to a potential 100 rolls with a x4 multiplier for a full house. Each roll will return a payout, which varies by the number displayed on the rolled dice. But beware, rolling a seven is bad news in this game and will end the feature or cost you a life!
A major difference between the gameplay on this Slingo title and a standard slot is that, as players, we have a degree of control over the outcome. This is known as ‘best strategy’ and involves utilising the wild symbol to select a number that will give you the best chance of completing a line, and this element actually affects the RTP. With that in mind, you’ll want to perfect your tactics on the Slingo Hot Roll demo slot, which you can play for free below!
Slingo Hot Roll Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
Whether you’re brand-new to the world of Slingo or a seasoned veteran of the dabber, you’ll be sure to find a game in this category with a theme that suits you; we have dozens of them! What’s more, many of these offerings have been inspired by some classic slot games, such as Slingo Centurion, where a familiar Roman soldier can rise from hiding under a bush to award guaranteed numbers and complete lines, which reward you with several exciting bonus rounds. Some renowned computer game titles have also moved in for some action, with Tetris Slingo and Slingo Space Invaders available in our free play Slingo section. Go and check them all out! The beauty of these games is that each has slightly different features from the last, and we’ll be exploring what makes Slingo Hot Roll unique as we progress further into this review, starting over at the paytable.
Once enough Slingo lines have been formed, several dice rolls will be awarded, each of which involves rolling two dice. The total number of the values displayed on these dice will have a pay value associated with it – the higher, the better. The possible values that can be rolled are 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12, and each one of those will return 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, 10x, 11x, or 12x, the stake value, respectively. It’s worth noting that these pay amounts can also have a multiplier of up to x4 applied to them – more on that later.
Before pressing start, an initial stake value must be selected. The values on offer range from between €0.20 to €30.00, with multiple possibilities in between. This base stake will purchase a total of 10 spins, each of which generates 5 numbers that you’ll be hoping match to the randomly generated numbers on the bingo card, forming lines. At the end of these 10 spins, you will have the option to purchase additional spins. The cost of each spin will vary depending on how close you are to forming further lines and can rise to a price that far exceeds the initial stake value.
Slingo Hot Roll Base Game
When it comes to the game mechanics, it will be a familiar affair for those who have previously played Slingo or even those with any experience playing bingo. There is a 5×5 grid with 25 positions, and at the start of each round, each position will be filled with a randomly selected number. Below this main grid is a row of five empty spaces, and each of the ten following spins will see five numbers fill these positions. If any of those match the numbers displayed on the main reels, then they will be highlighted, and each full vertical, horizontal, or diagonal line of numbers counts as a Slingo, with a total of 12 available, which is a full screen of highlighted numbers, also known as a full house.
Special Symbols
The following symbols can appear on the number reel.
- Wild Symbols: There are two types of wild to look out for, which can land in place of a standard number in any position on the drawn numbers row and be used to replace required numbers. The standard wild can be applied to any number in the reel directly above it, whilst the mega wild can be applied to any number on the grid.
Slingo Hot Roll Bonus Features
A minimum of five Slingos are required to activate a feature, resulting in a payout. The type of feature awarded will depend on the number of Slingo’s completed, as described below:
Hot Roll Bonus Round
- Easy Roll: Collect 5 Slingos to win an Easy Roll, where 1 roll of the dice is awarded.
- Double Roll: Collect 6 Slingos to win a Double Roll, which will award a choice of either 2 rolls of the dice or 1 roll with a x2 multiplier.
- Double Double Roll: Collect 7 Slingos to win a Double Double Roll, which will award a choice of a randomly selected number of rolls between 2 or a single roll with a randomly selected multiplier of between x2 to x4.
- Triple Double Roll: Collect 8 Slingos to win a Triple Double Roll, which will award a choice of either a randomly selected number of rolls between 3 to 5 or a single roll with a randomly selected multiplier of between x3 to x5.
- Hot Roll: Collect 9 Slingos to win a Hot Roll, which awards up to 100 rolls, only ending once a seven is rolled.
- Hot Roll with two lives: Collect 10 or 11 Slingos to win a Hot Roll with two lives, which awards a choice between either two Hot Roll features or a single Hot Roll feature with an x2 multiplier applied to the value of every win.
- Hot Roll with four lives: Collect 12 Slingos to win a Hot Roll with four lives, which awards a choice between either four Hot Roll features or a single Hot Roll feature with a x4 multiplier applied to the value of every win.
Golden Dice
The Golden Dice feature can trigger randomly during any Hot Rolls round, increasing all prize values in the next roll by x2. If a seven is rolled during a Golden Dice roll, then no life will be lost.
Pros
- The dice element adds to the fun.
- Choice between additional spins or multipliers in the feature.
Cons
Slingo Hot Roll Slot Review Final Thoughts
Slingo can be a dangerous game once you start paying the inflated additional spin prices in an attempt to complete lines, but it is an entertaining game. This title benefits from that standard gameplay and builds upon it by introducing various dice roll elements. The higher features can be fun, and it's good to have the option to choose between a larger number of lives with lower win potential and a single life with a higher multiplier for more intense action.
