Bingo Slot Machine Hybrid Slingo Announced by Zynga for Facebook
Zynga has licensed the rights to make Zynga Slingo, a Bingo slot machine hybrid, which will bring the game to Facebook effective immediately, Wednesday February 15, 2012.
VentureBeat.com describes the game like this:
You click on the “spin” wheel and five numbers appear like the spinning numbers on a slot machine. If you have a match, you can start clearing numbers on your Bingo card. The goal is to clear as many possible numbers on the card as you can. You win an assortment of coins if you succeed.
While Slingo has been around for nearly 15 years, including in land-based casinos, this will be the first time the game is featured on Facebook.
