Snakes and Ladders Megadice Slots
Snakes and Ladders Megadice is a video online slot game released by Pragmatic Play developers in February 2022. It takes its inspiration from a certain iconic and legendary board game and offers gamers a lot of appeal as well as a refreshing and original slant on an entertaining concept.
The neon coloured visuals bring an interesting retro feel with a basic 8 bit pixel style that used to be seen all over video gaming consoles in the 1980s and the bonus game brings some multipliers that can produce some thrilling wins for punters with a superb win potential of 5,300x the bet.
The action takes place over a classical grid of 5 reels and 3 rows with 10 fixed paylines (ways to win). Setting your stake begins the game and bets can be placed in a good selection that starts from a minimum of $0.20 per spin and up to a maximum of $100.00 per spin. An optional auto-play option allows for a pre automated amount of spins to be set before spinning and this is handy for those who are keen on sticking to a particular gaming budget.
The RTP (Return to Player Percentage) is at a good level of 96.68% and volatility is on the high side. This volatility will appeal greatly to the thrill loving and high rolling punters though prudence and a good dose of caution will be needed for beginners and novices as gameplay can be a bumpy rollercoaster between the larger and more substantial wins.
All symbols pay from left to right on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel and three to five matching identical symbols on a payline will provide payouts. The wild symbol is the dice and it substitutes for all the other symbols except for the bonus symbol which appears on all reels. Whenever it hits this dice has 1, 2 or 3 dots on it which represent different multipliers that will then apply to the total win of that spin. Five of these wild dice bring great prizes of 50x the bet.
The other gaming symbols feature a gorilla, banana, snake and ladder with the gorilla offering the most valuable of payouts of 50x bet for a full line of five. The banana and snake bring 20x and the ladder awards 15x stake for five of a kind. The lower value royal playing cards of Ace through to 10 return between 10x and 5x the bet for five.
Players will notice a giant snake in 11 separate sections above the reels and each time a dice symbol lands on the reels the numbers of dots on it will move them along the corresponding positions on the snake. Landing on the final position of the snake will trigger the bonus feature and 12 dice rolls will duly be awarded. If players land full square on the 4th position the random number of rolls between 2 and 5 will be added to the bonus game when it begins.
The progressive feature can be triggered by landing 3, 4 or 5 scatters which award 12, 14 and 16 dice rolls to begin the feature. Punters are then transported to a 12×12 board and have a little Gorilla token which allows them to move around the board using rolls of the dice with 144 separate spaces which are filled randomly with prize values of 4x to 100x added to totals, multipliers that are applied to current wins and and ladders and snakes which either send them down or up the board. Bananas add extra money rewards randomly to the grid and a skyscraper symbol also moves players up. The game finishes when all the rolls have been used or when players reach the end of the board.
