Slot Features
The Dice is the Wild symbols that can sub in for all the symbols in the game except for the Bonus one. Each time it hits, the Wild Dice will have 1, 2 or 3 dots which will represent a multiplier that can be x1, x2 or x3 and can apply to the total win of that spin.
Progressive Feature
During the base game you will notice a Snake above the grid with 11 sections. When the game starts those sections will be inactive, and you will need to hit Wild Dice to activate them. The number of sections that will activate will depend on the number displayed on a dice. When you activate all 11 sections, you will initiate the Bonus feature.
If while playing and activating sections, the number of dots on the Wild Dice would activate up to the fourth section exactly, a random number of extra rolls, from 2 to 5, will be added to the Bonus game when all Snake sections are completed. If there are enough dots on Dice to fill the sections more than once, extra retriggers will be awarded, one per each fill.
The progress on the Snake will be kept for every possible bet and changing bets and returning to a certain bet will load the progress.
Snakes & Ladders Board
Fill all 11 sections of the snake in the base game or hit 3 or more Bonus symbols to trigger the Bonus round. When initiated, you will get 12 dice rolls plus and extra roles from the base game, up to max of 17 rolls. With 3 Bonus symbols you get 12 dice rolls, with 4 you get 14 rolls and with 5 symbols you will win 16 dice rolls.
The Bonus round will show a board with 144 squares on 12x12 grid. You will get a Monkey Head that will get placed on square 1 and the dice roll will start. Random items will be placed randomly on the grid like multipliers for total bet, multipliers to total win, ladders of any size, snakes of any size and bananas. You will move on the grid for as many spaces that two dots combined total.
When Monkey lands on the Multiplier the total win collected up to that point will be multiplied. When it lands on the Ladder you will go from a lower square higher up the grid. Snake will lower you down on the grid, and the Banana landing will trigger a sequence where random money award will get added to the grid and remove other Banana symbols.
When you run out of dice rolls or reach the last square, you will end the round, but in a latter case you will have a chance of retriggering the feature with 2 dice rolls. Additionally, there is a bet win guarantee that you will get into Rage Mode if the round ends with the total win of less than x20 the bet. When the Rage Mode starts the Monkey Piece will move along to the final square collecting all the prizes along the way.
Summary
Snakes and Ladders Megadice has great graphics and animation, and the 8bit artwork provides quite a touch to the game. The game comes packing 96.68%, high volatility and x5300 the bet as max win potential. Overall, it’s another good team up between Pragmatic Play and Reel Kingdom that makes a good board game-slot cross over. It might get a bit slow paced at times, but definitely worth a few spins.
