Slingo Classic Bonus is a 5-reel, 20-line nickel game with a bonus round that plays like the Classic Slingo game on http://www.Slingo.com. Loyal Slingo followers are sure to connect to the Slingo brand with many familiar icons on the reels, including wild Slingo Jokers. In addition, the games have a scatter pay function that is triggered when three "Slingo Scatter Symbols" appear anywhere on the reels; the symbols don't have to be on pay lines to win.

Every Slingo Classic Bonus game throughout the state is linked to the top progressive jackpot with a chance to win. There are also three local progressive jackpots that link Slingo games at each individual gaming facility.
