Based on the ever-popular board game, Snakes and Ladders is a classic three reel five payline slot by Realistic Games.
Theme
Taking inspiration from the board game of the same name, this slot has a bonus feature that makes use of dice and the checked board with ladders to climb and snakes to slide down. The reels are set amongst a den of snakes and the game’s logo appears as the highest value symbol. Fruit, bells and dice represent the other symbols.
Board Game Bonus
When you land three dice symbols on an active payline the board game feature will be triggered. The dice button will begin to flash and you need to click on it to roll the dice. Each roll will move you the corresponding number of squares around the board. As you’d expect, if you land at the bottom of a ladder you get to climb up it and if you land on the head of a snake you have to slide down to its tail. If you land on one of the special numbered bonus squares then you will receive a cash prize based on the value of your stake times the number you land on. If you landed on the bonus square after rolling a double then your win will have a further 2x multiplier applied.
Jackpot Repeat Chance
If you’re lucky enough to win the jackpot either in the base reels or the board game feature you’ll be offered the Jackpot Repeat Chance. You need to press the dice button to stop the Yes/No awards rotating. If it stops on Yes then you’ll receive your jackpot prize again. If you land on No then the game will end. The repeat chance forms part of your original bet and you don’t have to stake any more money on it. A maximum of nine repeat chances can be taken.
Verdict
Simple but effective, this is a very enjoyable slot to play. The classic retro feel adds a certain charm and the board game element mixes things up a little as well as having the potential to boost your balance. Though also available for desktop, Snakes and Ladders is perfect for mobile devices as everything is clearly displayed and with only three reels, it’s easy to see what’s going on.
