    History

    Slingo was originally designed by Sal Falciglia to be a physical slot machine game. However, while pitching his casino machine he realized that heavy hardware was going to be a tough sell and worked with Bob Bielecki and John Driscoll of Shadow Interactive Inc. to produce a digital prototype in 1995. The game was pitched to America Online who bought it in 1996 and launched it as a multiplayer game in which players scores were compared on a leaderboard.

    Different versions of Slingo were released later, including the poker-style Slingo Xpress, CD-ROM versions, a handheld from Tiger Electronics, and even a lottery scratcher card.

    In 2013 Slingo was purchased by RealNetworks. Slingo continues to run a website with different variations of the game, the most recent of which is Slingo Supreme on iOS.
