About Snakes and Ladders Megadice
Based on the classic board game of the same name, Snakes and Ladders Megadice from Pragmatic Play and partner Reel Kingdom is a slot where the base game is played on a five reel, three row grid with 10 fixed paylines. Things change drastically during the bonus round with potential wins available on the Snakes and Ladders board. This game is a mix of all kinds of things. Firstly, the music sounds jungle themed and is reminiscent of Donkey Kong. Of course, being a Reel Kingdom slot, the game does feature a Gorilla King among its characters.
We have seen other Snakes and Ladders but this game has a retro feel about it as there are some 8 bit graphics used to make it feel like an 80s video game. All this in a slot based on a board game. Despite the interesting clash of visuals, this is an exceptionally well designed game to play.
As you might have already worked out, the symbols in the game are also completely random. The lower paying icons are represented by the 8 bit designed playing card royals, ace through ten. As for the higher paying symbols, these include; ladders, snakes, bananas, and Gorilla Kings. The last of which can pay up to 50x your bet. The highest paying are the Wild Dice symbols that will payout up to 50x the bet for five in a payline. These dice symbols can also substitute for other symbols and can have one, two or three dots on them to represent a win multiplier. All this on a video game looking grid that is backed up by a scene that looks like it belongs in Sonic the Hedgehog.

Snakes and Ladders Megadice Bonus Features
When wild dice hit, the number of dots they display will fill up in the 11 sections of the snake that sits above the reels. Depending on the amount of these dice wilds that you land, you could trigger the Snakes & Ladders Board Bonus game, winning extra rolls if you fill up the snake. If you alter the size of the bet, the snake will reset but the progress is saved.
The Snakes & Ladders Board Bonus can also be activated by landing three bonus symbols on the reels. If the bonus round was triggered by the snake then you pick up 12 rolls of the dice plus as many as 17 retriggers. If it was the bonus symbols that triggered the features, then the amount of dice rolls is dependent on how many unlocked it. Three, four or five bonus symbols will deliver 12, 14 or 16 rolls of the dice respectively.
Then we play snakes and ladders on a 12x12, 144 spaces game board. Your game token will be represented by a gorilla head and play starts on square number one. On each turn, double dice are rolled, and the token moves the appropriate amount of turns.
