SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y., Dec. 15, 2008 — A resident of Schenectady County hit the most recent Slingo Classic Bonus game $42,895 jackpot on Thursday, December 4 at Saratoga Gaming and Raceway.
New to gaming floors as of November 7th of this year, the Slingo Classic Bonus game is a 5-reel, 20-line nickel game with a bonus round that plays like the Classic Slingo game found at http://www.Slingo.com and features a statewide progressive jackpot.
