[edit] Description
Slingo Quest is set in a series of tropical islands where players progress through 50 levels to complete the quest across all 10 of the game's islands. At each location, players are presented with a 5x5 or 7x7 Bingo-like grid containing random numbers and 20 "spins" of a slot machine device. After each spin, a series of numbers or images (wild cards and bonuses) appear below each column in the Bingo grid. Players try to cover each number on the grid by matching a slot number or wild card with a number in the column above, ultimately achieving 'Slingo' -- a horizontal, vertical or diagonal grouping of matches.
Points are scored with every match and Slingo created, with greater amounts awarded for matches that complete several simultaneous rows, columns or diagonals. To complete each level, unlock new levels/rewards, and move forward in the Slingo Quest, players must (at minimum) cover each square in a pattern that varies from card to card.
