Big Kahuna – Snakes & Ladders – Slot Review

"Big Kahuna - Snakes & Ladders" is a classic from the house Microgaming, which takes its players to a tropical paradise and offers them the chance to win great prizes. What the iconic Slot has to offer, I will tell you in my subsequent review.

Design

"Big Kahuna - Snakes & Ladders" is already a few years old. You can see that in the game. Because the design looks a little old-fashioned compared to current games from Microgaming. At the same time, it's still pretty to look at. Because the many tropical motifs on the playing field are nicely staged and immediately make you want to go on a Hawaii vacation. There are many fruity symbols such as oranges, pineapples and kiwi on the reels. In addition, there are also typical natives of Hawaii and one or the other animal islanders. Incidentally, I really liked the fact that Microgaming has dispensed with the universally unpopular playing card symbols in this slot. Because these really have nothing to do with Hawaii.

Gameplay

As you are used to from older slots from Microgaming, the game principle of "Big Kahuna - Snakes & Ladders" is very simple. The playing field consists of 5 reels, which are divided into 3 rows. And these in turn are divided into 16 paylines. The player spins the reels and hopes that at least three identical symbols will land on a payline from left to right. Because that's how you make a profit.

The winnings are comparatively small if you achieve a combination of identical fruits. On the other hand, the monkey, the islanders, the tiki mask and the reptile are paid significantly higher.

Wild symbol

As a wild icon The Big Kahuna logo acts in the game. It is able to substitute for all other symbols except the snake symbol to create new winning combinations. That is at the same time Wild symbol also the most valuable symbol in the game, as it can pay out up to 5.000 coins when accumulated five times. As soon as a wild symbol contributes to completing a winning combination, the winnings in the main game or in the free spins round are also doubled or quadrupled.

Free Spins Round

The player of "Big Kahuna - Snakes & Ladders" will quickly notice that the free spins round does not end as usual Scatter symbols is triggered. Instead, free spins can hit the player out of the blue. Because it can rain 5 free spins at any time. Within the free spins round, all winnings are doubled.

Bonus round

In addition to the free spins round, there is an additional bonus round in the game. This starts when the snake symbol lands on reels 1, 3 and 5 at the same time. This is a dice game that gradually leads the player to higher multipliers. If a ladder symbol is rolled, you climb up the ladder. A snake symbol, on the other hand, contributes to going down. With a bit of luck you can win up to 100 times your previous bet in this fun bonus game.

Odds of winning

"Big Kahuna - Snakes & Ladders" can be played from as little as one cent per payline. However, this is not recommended, since this way, of course, no attractive profits can be achieved. You can bet a maximum of 75 euros per round. Personally, I prefer to stick with one or two euros per spin. The payout ratio of the slot is 95,53%, which is unfortunately a bit low compared to other games.

And finally ...

Big Kahuna - Snakes & Ladders is an entertaining game with a Hawaiian flair that's still great fun. Above all, the fact that you can win free spins at any time makes the game extremely interesting. And the innovative bonus round really appealed to me here. If you are looking for an easy-to-understand game with colorful graphics, you should definitely try Big Kahuna - Snakes & Ladders.
