Snakes & Ladders Live

Snakes & Ladders Live is Pragmatic Play’s adaptation of the board game that most people played before they could read – rebuilt as a live game show around a 54-segment wheel.

The Wheel

There are eight bet spots matching the segments on the wheel. Four of them are numbers paying straight prizes; the other four are the bonus games: Totem 1 Life, Totem 2 Lives, Board 3 Rolls and Board 5 Rolls.

The Totem rounds give you one or two lives to survive with; the Board rounds hand you three or five rolls on an actual snakes-and-ladders board, where ladders carry you up the prize scale and snakes do what snakes do.

Multipliers

Once betting closes, a random multiplier is attached to one of the eight bet spots. If your bet covers the winning segment and that segment is the boosted one, the payout is multiplied accordingly – which is what turns a modest number win into something worth watching.

Because the multiplier is assigned after bets close, there is no way to chase it; it either lands where you are or it does not.

Who It Is For

Pragmatic publishes separate return figures for each bet type, so it rewards reading before you commit to the bonus spots over the numbers.

Beyond that it is an easy game to sit down at – the board game reference does most of the explaining for you, and the four bonus rounds are different enough from each other that the show does not repeat itself.

You can try this game on LuckyBar Online Casino. There’s a unique casino bonus offer of 300% up to £1500 for a limited time.
