The slot title was released midway through 2008 by Microgaming, one of the world's top online casino software development companies. And let me tell you, they know their stuff when it comes to games.
The inspiration behind Big Kahuna Snakes And Ladders is Hawaiian. You may or may not know this, but Kahuna is a Hawaiian word meaning sorcerer or shaman. This game is a sequel to the smash hit big Kahuna that Microgaming brought out the previous year.
Once you get past the animated introduction, it treated to lush graphics in a distinctly Hawaiian theme. All of the images on the game are things you'd find in an island paradise, and the background sounds make you think of being in a tropical jungle with Hawaiian music playing in the distance.
Expect to see all kinds of animals including snakes and monkeys, many types of tropical fruits and even a hula girl.
On the slots level, the game is a five reel slot with 15 pay lines and a 300 coin max. It takes pennies and quarters, and the main jackpot is 5,000 coins.
The wild symbol is the Big Kahuna Snakes and Ladders symbol, which doubled the prize value of any line it completes. If this happens during one of the randomly awarded free spins, your prize value has quadrupled.
What you're looking to get is the bonus snake symbol anywhere on reels 1, 3 and 5. Get this combination and the bonus Snakes and Ladders game will be launched.
It works just like you'd expect Snakes and Ladders to work: pick a die, roll it and see what happens. Climbing a ladder gets you bonus prizes, while hitting a snake drops you back into the main slot.
Playing the Snakes and Ladders bonus game can earn you a massive 30,000 coins, which is why you really want to launch this if you can. Make it all the way to the Big Kahuna mask and you win 100x your coin bet!
All in all, a great game that is really two games in one, and highly recommended.
