It’s been announced that early next year, NetEnt’s most popular slot Starburst is to feature in a brand new Slingo game named Slingo Starburst. Gaming Realms the developer behind the popular Slingo game signed a multi-year contract to develop Slingo games based on popular NetEnt slot titles.
Slingo
Slingo, the hugely popular game was released back in 1998 and combines bingo and slots. As you spin the reels you hope to fill up your bingo tickets. The combination brings two of the most popular online casino games through simple but enjoyable gameplay.Slingo’s impressive portfolio has grown considerably over the years after successful collaborations with Monopoly Slingo, Slingo Rainbow Riches, and Deal or no Deal Slingo. The new deal will see some of NetEnt’s most popular slot titles combined with Slingo mechanics.Gaming Realms CFO Mark Segal said,“We’re thrilled to have secured the licensing rights to NetEnt brands – their slot games have dominated the gaming industry for years.“The combination of Slingo and Starburst will create a new game of significant global stature bringing together the best features of both, making the collaboration very exciting for fans.”
Slingo Starburst
We’re not sure yet whether the format for the new Slingo Starburst will be similar to Slingo Fluffy Favourites and the Rainbow Riches version of the game. When you achieve a Slingo – a line of five horizontally, vertically or diagonally awards players a bonus win, the same as bonus rounds in a slot game, rather than cash prizes. In the instance of Slingo Fluffy Favourites, a win could give a Toybox pick bonus, Coin Pusher bonus or a Hook a Fluffy bonus the same as bonuses in the original slot game.Slingo Starburst maybe a little different to Slingo Fluffy Favourites as NetEnt’s Starburst slot does not have bonus rounds. What may happen is the more lines you win the higher you climb a ladder or fill a meter, the higher you climb the more spins or wilds you get. Whatever they decide on gameplay, we hope it will be equally as exciting as others in the series when they do launch the game.
