Big Kahuna Snakes and Ladders Slot Review

The introduction to this slots adventure features a mysterious voiceover in the style of an amalgamation of David Attenborough, Bill Oddie and Steve Irwin, talking atop what look like ancient wall drawings from “many, many moons past”. In this instalment of the ever expanding Big Kahuna series, you’re looking for a sacred mask, hidden from the tribes and even Big Kahuna himself. You take on the role of a young warrior, armed with the “spear of fortune”, whose quest is to both beat the bad guys and hopefully hunt down this elusive mask! Taking an almost Indiana Jones angle on slots gaming, Big Kahuna – Snakes & Ladders offers up an adventurous mix of accessible and intriguing design, as well as dangerously high scoring multipliers, scatters and wilds.

Once again, Microgaming have created a truly wonderful slots adventure, complete with vivaciously bright, bold colours, a subtle jungle themed soundtrack and an attention to detail that really asserts this slot as king of the food (or slot!) chain. Of course, this game offers much more than just daring graphics and a percussive musical score. The top line multiplier in this game is the magical mask; if you spin 3, 4 or 5 of this special symbol, you can expect your line bet to be multiplied 25, 250, 2000x respectively! Hitting this money-making mask isn’t the only way you can win prizes though, as the symbol displaying this game’s young hero also pays impressively; spinning 3, 4 or 5 of these will multiply your line bet to the wild amount of 20, 200 or 1000x respectively. Keep an eye out for the scatter symbol (the snake), which will not only match your total bet if you reveal 2 of it, but can also trigger the bonus round. The wild symbol (the Big Kahuna logo) is equally impressive, as spinning up to 5 of it will 5000x!

Big Kahuna is a vivid, bracing slots machine that contains the perfect mix of jungle adventure and exciting slots play, and offers enough to entertain both wannabe explorers and avid slots gamers alike.

Wild Symbol

The wild symbol is the Big Kahuna logo, just like in the previous instalment of the game. The Wild Symbol really is one of the key icons to look out for in this game, as spinning 3, 4 or 5 of it will earn you the multiplying awards of 50, 500 or 5000x respectively. If this wasn’t enough, the wild card also doubles all wins if revealed and just 1 wild symbol pays 4x your line bet when substituting for another symbol during the free spins round.

Scatter Symbol

The scatter symbol is the slithering snake and spinning just 2 of this symbol pays your total bet. However, the scatter also does so much more than this, as spinning 3 of this hissing serpent on reels 1, 3 and 5 will trigger the bonus Snakes and Ladders round.

Bonus Round

The Big Kahuna bonus round is focused on the gripping plot of finding the mysteriously hidden and sacred mask that has been secreted away to the mountains. To start your quest and successfully complete it, all you have to do is play a simple game of snakes and ladders and reach the top of the board. You are given 5 dice to roll and depending on the numbers you roll, you can either be sent up the board by the handy ladders, or slither back down to the bottom on the backs of the sly snakes stopping your progress.

Rolling a 6 in this feature will award you with an extra free roll, which is played automatically. Reaching the top of the board game ends your young warriors quest for the sacred mask and allows you to claim a maximum prize of 100x your total bet, but if the road ahead looks too tricky you can always opt to collect your current winnings and end both the bonus round and the quest immediately.

The slot really goes all out at this point and comes complete with entertaining extras that really compliment the game. Throughout the bonus round 3 shrunken heads perched on the right side of the screen interact with you and even welcome you to the round by saying, “looks like the tides washed up something else with the driftwood!” Not exactly the welcome you’d usually look for, but with the mask multiplying your total bet by 100x, you can see why they’d want to keep it all to themselves! Although we didn’t get to the top of the mountain and grab the sacred mask, we did get our winnings multiplied an impressive 77 times!

Free Spins

Free spins in this game are awarded completely at random and you can win up to 5, meaning you don’t have to worry about triggering pesky symbols on certain reels and the like. During the free spins round, prizes are doubled, but revealing the wild symbol and using it as a substitute for another symbol in a winning combination means your line bet is multiplied up to 4x! Not only this, but you can also win up to 200,000 coins in the free spin feature, meaning that Big Kahuna is packed full of ferocious winnings!
