With so many incredible places to visit in the world, it can be tough to decide exactly where you want to go next. After all, trips aren’t cheap, but there are infinite reasons to visit any of the most famous destinations, cities, beaches, or hotels around. So, it can be a fun exercise to entrust your pick to something else entirely. With so many games set within iconic destinations from around the world, we’re looking to slingo for inspiration.
There are many different themes, features, and ideas covered by the slingo bingo games library, but two based on aspects of one region in particular standout on your first scroll. Those two, arguably, are Slingo Cash Eruption and Slingo Day of the Dab. The former shows you flowing lava and flame as the core feature of the game, while Day of the Dab is a bingo-style riff on the iconic festival of Día de Muertos.
Clearly, Slingo Day of the Dab offers inspiration to head to Mexico in November or late October to witness the colorful, skull-covered Day of the Dead festival. You need to click on Slingo Cash Eruption to see what it’s really about. The fiery slingo game puts you within an Aztec temple, seeking to earn the favor of the erupting sun by completing lines on the slingo board. So, it gives a different reason to visit Mexico.
The Aztecs are well known for their devotion to the sun and the sun god, Huītzilōpōchtli. Sacrifices were made to appease the gods and ensure that events like the eclipse wouldn’t permanently black out the sun. Their impressive temples still stand in many sites across the country. In fact, if you go to Mexico City for the Day of the Dead, you’ll be walking on top of the old Aztec capital, Tenochtitlan.
While there are several ancient, mythical, and folklore-inspired slingo games now – including the Egyptian-themed Book of Slingo, Slingo Lucky McGold from Irish lore, and Slingo Journey to Asgard from Norse mythology – one truly jumps off of the page. That game is Slingo Thunder of the Gods, boasting white stone statues, a castle within the clouds, and lightning striking through the logo.
Clearly, it’s an Ancient Greek-themed slingo game, and more specifically, one that plays into the myths of Olympus and the god of thunder, Zeus. One of the reasons why these segments of Greek history remain so prominent is because their artifacts and stories have been so well-preserved. To this day, the real Mount Olympus and its surrounding archaeological sites are a huge draw.
It was once believed that the pantheon of gods lived atop Mount Olympus, and it was from their city above the clouds that they went about helping and hindering humanity. The unrelenting power of Zeus was both praised and feared, making the ruler of Olympus the perfect main character in Slingo Thunder of the Gods. In it, Zeus is the key to the maximum win, while you can also summon the might of the other gods to power up with wilds.
Certainly a novel way to go, but exploring the themes and ideas of the slingo collection might just inspire your next trip, with Mexico City and the east coast of mainland Greece being particularly well showcased.
