Slingo Goes Interactive

Slingo is one of the biggest names in slots technology, and now they are trying their hands at another venue – interactive TV. They have announced the Slingo TV Game Show, which is based upon their popular slots game. The game will involve both trivia and bingo and slots play, and home viewers will be able to interact with the show via SMS messaging.

The slots game will be the first casual game television series to air on Philippine broadcast networks. The show is hosted by Joey de Leon, a local celebrity. It is produced by MOJO Pacific and Slingo. The game seems a sure fire hit, as the slots game is widely considered the most popular IP in casual game history.

Slingo can be found through their online game portal (Slingo.com), through retail downloads, slots, mobile, lottery tickets, and now as an interactive TV game show. The company feels that this is the next logical step for them, and that it shows their commitment to getting the slots name out there and in different markets and mediums.

They say that the Philippines will be the first step for them, and are planning on marketing the slots game for the Asian market as well as other venues. They say that since the slots game continues to grow in popularity, they will continue to take advantage of that popularity by selecting different ways to amuse and entertain their clients. They say that Slingo is considered to be “one of America’s most played online games” and that they have more than three billion games played.
