Slingo is a hybrid of bingo and slots. If you searched for Slingo at William Hill, you want to know how a round works and which versions exist before you play.
Common Slingo versions
Most Slingo games share the same grid and spin mechanic, but each version adds its own theme, symbols and extra features. Many are built on a familiar slot or game show, which gives the version its name and its look. The variants table above shows the Slingo titles in this category, and the studio behind them is Gaming Realms.
Because the rules differ slightly between versions, read the information for the game you choose. Special symbols such as jokers or other wilds can be added in some versions, and each game explains how its own symbols work. Check what William Hill lists for Slingo before you plan to play.
How a round works
The game has a grid of numbers, normally five rows by five columns. Each spin lands a row of numbers beneath the grid. Any number that matches a number on the grid is marked off. When you mark off a full row, column or diagonal, that counts as a Slingo, and each Slingo moves you up the prize ladder. A round runs for a set number of spins, and some versions let you add extra spins.
Special symbols can change a spin, for example by marking a number of your choice or by adding a bonus. How they work is explained in each game's rules.
Because spins are random, no approach changes what lands.
A typical session is therefore a balance between the numbers that fall and the spins you have left. Prize levels rise with each Slingo completed, and a full grid usually sits at the top of the ladder, though each game sets out its own prizes.

RNG play, not a live table
Slingo runs on a random number generator, with no dealer or studio. Live play is a different format, where a host runs timed rounds at a table; our live casino page covers that. In Slingo you control the pace, which also means a session can go quickly.
Practical points
Read the version's rules and prize ladder before you play, and choose a stake you are comfortable losing. Set a deposit limit first and stop when you reach it. If you play on a phone, see the mobile version page.
