Snakes and Ladders Megadice Slots
Snakes and Ladders Megadice is an entertaining online video slot game which will take many players back to their childhood as it is based on the classical and popular board game of Indian origin with the same name and which was all the rage back in 1970´s and 80´s. It is crafted by online casino game developers Reel Kingdom (known as Pragmatic Play) and released in February 2022.
Award winning Pragmatic Play have come up with some great graphics and put together some epic bonus games with some rock solid numbers and a RTP (Return to Player Percentage) of 96.68% offering high volatility with a significant and sizzling win potential of 530,000.They have also provided some fun gameplay along with the Megadice feature that make it super easy to navigate and simple and easy to understand even for beginner level punters.
The scenario behind the 5 reels and 3 rows with 10 active paylines is a dense jungle with big stone structures and a colossal sized green snake seen crawling over the reels.
The audio and soundtrack features drums in a rousing good vibes feel and the graphics and artwork are well rendered with a lot of colour and detail. The animations are a bit on the rudimentary side but are entertaining enough particularly when players can move between the reels on the ladders.
Firstly, players will need to place their wagers to get spinning and winning starting from a minimum of just 0.20$ per spin and move up to a maximum of 100.00$ per spin. This more than adequately accommodates a wide variety of player from the more novice and casual punter to the high rollers. With a high volatility players can expect some dry periods between the big payouts and high rewards so this is a game clearly more suited to those with deeper pockets and maybe less so for the risk averse players. Patience and stamina will be required to navigate the slower periods.
An optional autoplay button enables players to pre set the number of spins (up to 1,000) they wish to game with. This can be a useful option for those players who are conscious of maintaining a set gaming budget.
At Snake and Ladders Megadice slot players can create winning combinations by landing three of more of the same symbol on adjacent positions starting from the leftmost reel. The wild symbol is symbolised as dice and this substitutes for all the other symbols in the game except for the bonus and scatter symbol. This dice has 1, 2 or 3 dots on it and these signify and represent a multiplier of 1x, 2x and 3x which is then applied to the total win of that spin. All wins are multiplied by bet per line and Bonus wins are multiplied by the total bet.
These wilds carry their own unique payouts and offer punters between 50$, 25$ and 10$ for five, four and three of a kind on the reels. The bonus symbol is clearly labelled Bonus in big yellow letters and it appears on every reel in the game.
The premium game symbols feature the highest paying Gorilla King, Banana, Snake and ladder which pay between 50x and 15x players stake for five of a kind and the lower paying symbols are the playing cards offering between 10x and 5x their stake for five of a kind.
In the base part of Snake and Ladders Megadice slot game players will see above the reels a giant green snake with 11 sections. When players create a win with the wild dice the number of dots will activate the same number of sections on the snake. Each time players bet size changes the progress returns to 11 and when players manage to fill all 11 sections the bonus game is activated. If four sections are filled they will awarded with 2 to 5 extra spins.
If players manage to land dice with dots that fill the green snake several times then there are extra free spins given. If players are unable to fill up the snake the progress they have made will be saved for the following base game spins.
When players land 3 scatters or all 11 positions are filled on the snake the Snakes & Ladders Board Bonus is activated. With 3, 4 or 5 scatters players receive 12, 14 or 16 dice rolls. If they activated the bonus by filling up the green snake sections they are given either 12 dice rolls and/or between 2 to 5 extra dice rolls if those 4 sections on the snake were filled in.
This Board Bonus game comes in a chessboard format of 12×12 when players assume the role of the gorilla from reel 1. Before this starts however various symbols are placed randomly including ladders of any size, snakes, bananas, direct prizes and multipliers. Two dice are then rolled which show between 1 to 6 each and their total amount corresponds to how many steps you as the player and gorilla can move.
The multiplier for example multiplies players total win by the relevant value. The money award offers prizes between 4x to 100x total bet. The ladder moves the gorilla higher up. When players land on a banana they are sprinkled random money awards. If players land on a snake they are sent to the lower squares and with skyscrapers players are able to move to random higher positions.
If the bonus rounds ends with a win less than 20x the stake the gorilla enters Rage Mode and moves along to the final square collecting all the prizes on the way which is a nice way of giving players an additional chance to collect yet more cash prizes.
