Was a 4-5 star game, but...
NEW UPDATE DECEMBER 21- STILL not working. Nowhere on map to earn free coins. Support is no help after 4 emails. Deleting game. Dont bother with this one!! Theyve updated 4 times in less than a month & cat get it right.
NEW UPDATE ON DECEMBER 16- only 6 days after the last update & it STILL is not fixed! Dropped my rating to ONE star because theres STILL no videos to earn coins, even though the last two updates SAY there is! I contacted support & they replied after 6 days, saying they "received my feedback"...?! WTH? I contacted them for SUPPORT! Not one question was answered by them. And I REFUSE to be FORCED to buy anything to play. Buying because you want extras is fine, but this game FORCES you to buy to PLAY. They keep making it worse every update. Now, even power ups I bought wont work! Hammer did not work at all, & if you activate it & click again, it completely disables your power up! Such crap! Two updates in less than a week & its worse than ever. Deleting this game & suggest you do too. Move on to one of the other Slingo apps, like Supreme. Much more fun & like the old game on EA.
-------------------
The last update on December 10th dropped it down. We used to be able to earn 5000 coins a day watching videos, (1000 per video)but they took that feature away. It SAYS in the update description that they moved it to the map, but its not there anywhere. They also changed the way you select & buy power ups. Now you can only choose certain selected ones, & not buy others till you get to the actual game board. They also took some power ups that you could buy with silver coins, (that you earn from free videos & game play) & changed them to gold "spinners"(coins). You have to BUY gold spinners with REAL cash. You can buy silver coins with gold "spinners", (5 gold for 5000 silver, 8 gold for 12000 gold, etc.) but considering it costs $5.79 for 30 gold spinners, (cheapest package) its ridiculously expensive.
The game in itself was always a bit tough to win, (seems the number spinner is fixed a bit) & that hasnt changed. Its also quite stingy with reward coins for beating a level. Its 500 per ring, 1500 max per level, & thats TOUGH to get unless you are willing to spend several thousand coins or part with precious gold spinners, so you NEED those ways to earn free coins. You think at least youd get a certain amount of coins daily, (even a lowly 1000) but no. I enjoy this game, (Ive been a huge Slingo fan for about 15 years) but its one of those games you only play a level or two a day, as the game is set up so you have to pay real cash, or wait & save silver coins. I suppose you could play the game with NO power ups, but if that was how we were meant to play, it would be an option. (Like Slingo Supreme...a FANTASTIC game!)
Also, since the last horrible update, I can never get the app to load on the first try. It takes at LEAST 2 tries, usually 3 or 4. It did that before, occasionally, now its every time. May be deleting this one Im afraid. Unless they quickly restore/fix the option for earning coins from watching videos, because otherwise it would take 3-5 days just to earn enough coins for a power up or two for each level. Crazy. Too slow & developers too greedy. Its not that I mind spending $$ on games, because I spend a LOT on certain ones. But those are ones I COULD play free if I chose to, without any penalty. Purchases there are just fancy or fun perks & such. Or in the case of Slingo Supreme, you buy the upgrades, but you KEEP them once theyre bought. And THAT one has lots of options, INCLUDING playing Classic Slingo. All you need to do is win the first level & it unlocks.
Overall, this game/app is fun, but not the best Slingo by far. Gameplay too slow because coins are required to play as intended, & they try to force you to spend real cash. Not how you win fans & players over. Move on & go get Slingo Supreme, or Slingo Shuffle. That one is tight on numbers/spins too, but you can get 1000 coins every 4 hours for free! (Just watch a video or pop up) Usual cost per board is 500-1500, but you get most of it back when you win the game, & collect coins every 4 hours. Pass this one up in favor of a different one.
Just one persons opinion. Have a great day.
