Slingo Xing Yun Xian

Slingo games are all the rage right now, but a common complaint, of sorts, levied at Slingo titles is that they’re very similar across the board, and there’s not much imagination that has gone into creating them. Well, Slingo Xian Yun Xian, and the developer of the game, Slingo  Originals, are here to buck that trend.

As the title of the game suggests, Slingo Originals have put together a Chinese-themed version of a Slingo release, which immediately comes to the fore via the graphics and artwork. Animated moving lanterns feature, and so do Koi carp from the pond below the game area, in Slingo Xing Yun Xian, a title that can be played from as little as 0.20.

There's a top possible prize of 500x up for grabs in Slingo Xing Yun Xian, and while it's not necessarily on the high side, it's still a decent prize to aim for. And there are jokers, super jokers and free spins to keep players on their toes and to add to the overall experience. So, there is a lot to like.

This is Slingo, so you’ll expect to see the game area loaded with numbers. And what’s great about this in Slingo Xing Yun Xian is that the numbers appear attached to red lanterns, thanks to the Chinese theme deployed by Slingo Originals. So, there isn’t this bland and unimaginative approach.

One of the first useful symbols away from the number is the joker. It’s a wild, and it will replace any icon on the row above, furthering progress in the search for Slingos. And, unlike many other Slingo titles, there’s also a super joker, and this symbol can replace any icon anywhere on the board, so it’s even more useful. Finally, gold coins will appear from time to time to deliver a cash prize.

It’s par for the course not to expect any standard bonus features in Slingo titles akin to those you’d see when spinning the reels of slot games. But Slingo Originals always deliver a couple of interesting elements here and there, and they’re always very well received. As mentioned above, seeing gold coins land in the game area is good news because they deliver cash prizes. And what’s also great about this is that it’s in keeping with the Chinese theme.

What appears on the reel below the game area will be crucial, again where instant cash wins are concerned. In this instance, we’re talking about scatter icons, especially if the reel below the game grid is loaded with jokers, super jokers or a combination of both. This can produce wins of up to 5x the bet, and that’s even before you get to matching numbers and symbols and forming Slingos.

Slingo Xing Yun Xian is an excellent Slingo Originals release, primarily because of the Chinese theme, which runs consistently throughout. Not only is the design authentic, but the inclusion of gold coins that can produce instant cash prizes also links to the premise. And there's still enough time for not only jokers to get involved but also super jokers. There are lots of Slingo Games, but Slingo Originals seem to keep coming up with winners like Slingo Advance, Slingo Cleopatra and Slingo Da Vinci Diamonds.
