"Slingo Quest", one of the most popular online games, has just been announced for a release on mobile phones too. I-play will be the one to make the transition as successful as possible and enable handset owners to enter the colorful world of Slingo.

The game is actually a combination between some classic games that everyone knows, Bingo and Slots. This makes it a captivating puzzle that has high chances of becoming addicted. It managed to do so in the online environment, so it has very high chances of doing the same once it turns mobile.

"Slingo Quest" has 60 levels and 300 ratings stars to collect, along with nine game-wide achievements to get. That brings a great deal of possibilities and a huge number of colorful gameplay hours.

"Slingo Quest is a well loved online casual games property and we�re excited about the impact it will have on mobile. The Slingo franchise is also available via Oberon Media�s online platform and PixelPlay�s iTV platform, and we will naturally be looking to cross pollinate Slingo�s huge online community to mobile", commented David Gosen, President of I-play, upon the game's release.

"We're excited as a content provider to be the first to work with one company with the expertise and distribution capabilities to take our franchise to the three screens of mobile, online and iTV. This can only help the many casual game developers and content providers achieve broad based success. We�re particularly excited about Slingo Quest�s global mobile launch and hope to leverage the success we�ve had online, onto mobile", said Eric Lamendola, Director of Business Development, Slingo.

Slingo celebrates 10 years of "online casual games" and over 3 million registered users. The game will be available through I-play's global network of distribution partners and will also see an European release under the name of "Slingo Bingo".
