Completed lines, called Slingos, move you up a prize ladder.
After your spins you may be offered more at a price.

A sample round
You have ten spins. After six you have completed two lines and need one more number for a third. Spin ten ends one short. The game offers an extra spin for 90p; the next prize is £1. You decline.
Using jokers well
The only decisions in Slingo are where to place jokers. A joker marks any number in its column; a super joker marks any number on the card. The useful rule is to place them where they complete or set up the most lines at once, which usually means the centre square first, then the diagonals, since those squares sit on more lines than any others.
A good first bet
Decide before you start whether you will buy extra spins, and stick to it.
The mistake to avoid
Buying extra spins late in the game, when their price can exceed what they are likely to win.
