Gameplay
The dice are central to the game. Above the reels is a snake containing 11 sections, each time the dice lands the number of the dots shown on the dice fills up sections of the snake. Once all the sections are complete the Bonus Round triggers. If you manage to complete the 4th section of the snake exactly, this awards between 2-5 extra rolls which are added to the total in the bonus round.You get 12 rolls of the dice, and the feature can be retriggered up to a maximum of 17 times. If you overfill the snake, these excesses are added to the section for the next bonus game.You can activate the bonus round by landing 3, 4 or 5 bonus snake symbols awarding 12, 14 or 16 rolls of the dice .The bonus round is played on a snakes and ladders board, you roll the dice to progress across the board. Depending on where you land you could win one of the following:Money Award- A win multiplier worth 4x-100x.Multiplier- Multiplies the amount that you have won up to this point.Snakes and Ladders- You go up the ladder and down the snake.Banana- Adds random cash values to the board and all banana symbols are removed.Skyscraper- This is hidden and is only revealed when its landed on, you then advance to a higher position on the board which is chosen randomly.The game ends when you either reach the final square or you have used all the dice rolls. If you are lucky enough to complete the board, you roll 2 dice, if they show matching numbers the bonus round is retriggered. But that’s not all, if your total win at the end of the round is less than 20x the Rage Mode triggers, the monkey then moves all the way to the top of the grid collecting all cash values and multipliers on its’ way.
Verdict
Snakes and Ladders Megadice is a solid game delivering two ways to access the bonus round. As a child, I remember the excitement of climbing the ladder and the disappointment of going down the snake, this is similar. Overall, its a fun game with the addition of the Rage Mode where a win is guaranteed.
