This is a well-polished version of the slot palror game Slingo. It's been expanded to include a lot of real game options, so that it's not just an exercise in button-pressing and reel-watching. A cross between slots and Bingo (hence Slingo ), the game has a lot of elements of chance to it. Your Bingo board is randomly generated, the reels spin at random, and there are powerups and bonuses hidden under certain squares. However, there is actually some strategy and growth involved! You pick game options before starting out, regulated by a star system (certain options are more expensive and you only get so many stars to spend) and slot positions ()you can only choose a certain number of options). The more expensive options usually result in easier play or higher scores. You start off very limited, but you unlock options and get more stars in the course of play. I enjoy fine-tuning the game options to have unique gameplay, and though I suppose I may groow tired of it in weeks to come, it's held my interest a lot longer than many more expensive games. For seven bucks you really can't go wrong, and the half-hour trial givers you a decent chance to tell whether you love it or hate it. I play a couple of games while doing other chores on my computer and it's been fun. So why not five stars? Well, I play World of Warcraft, and I was hoping to have a background game to play while taking those long Gryphon rides. Unfortunately Slingo Supreme won't allow that; it complains that you need to update DirectX. I imagine it's getting an error code from the graphics card while initializing and just assumes the drivers are outdated. So, it looks like I'll be playing Mahjong Titans during lulls in the WoW action. Oh well. I still don't regret the purchase.
