This latest “community-style” game from AC Coin features three base slots linked to a common bonus round based on the popular internet game “Slingo.”
The base games are the five-reel mechanical version of Double Diamond, which is a popular game in itself. The bonus round occurs every 46 spins on average, which means there will be several occasions when two or all three players on the bank will enter the bonus round at the same time. The bonus game is played out on the 42-inch LCD video screen atop the bank.
When the bonus is triggered, an award card on the player’s machine will flash between numbers indicating how many spins he will get on the big Slingo board-from eight to 16 spins. The LCD display contains a game card with 25 squares. Each of the squares contains a unique number between 1 and 75. Below the card on the display are five video reels, one for each column of numbers. At the conclusion of each spin, the computer evaluates the numbers on the player’s reels against the numbers on the big board. A “spot hit,” in Slingo parlance, occurs when the numbers match to light up one of the spots on the big board.
In addition to numbers, there are jokers on the player’s reels. A joker is used to complete a winning combination on the big board to rack up a bonus award.
The object is to complete a “Slingo”-all the numbers in a column, row or diagonal on the big Slingo board. Every time a player accomplishes that with a spin, he gets 20 credits. If the full card-all the numbers on the grid-is completed, the award is 100 credits. Also, if spins remain when the player completes the card, he is paid the 100-credit full-card bonus again for each remaining spin.
