I'm looking at buying one of these shotgun's and am wondering: Can I shoot slugs thru them with the choke they come with? If choke needs to be changed, do they take a screw in choke or does the barrel need replacing? If I'm good to shoot slug's the way it is, which slug is recommended for accuracy for up to 40 yard's?

They are sometimes sold with a 2 barrel set. A shorter cylinder bore and a longer one with a rib and threaded for chokes. That would give you lots of options.

If it has the long barrel it should have screw chokes but there might be some that don't.
Different slugs work with different chokes. Can't help with that side of things.

Generally speaking, most manufacturers recommend no choke tighter than cylinder or improved cylinder for slugs.
Rifled slugs can be shot thru any standard choke. (Cyl/ic/m/im/f) accuracy is always a gamble. Ive had best results with modified choke shooting slugs
The maverick 88 can take rifled slug barrels from the mossberg 500 series as well.
