Good news for all fans of the good old board games! Pragmatic Play decided to invoke nostalgia and remind its fans of fun evenings with friends and family spent playing the popular Snakes & Ladders game. Snakes & Ladders Live adjoined the company’s impressive portfolio of Live Casino games, and fans couldn’t be happier.
A mix of traditional and modern worlds:
One of the most famous content providers in the whole iGaming industry decided to take a twist on a popular game and adapt it to the modern world of Live Casino games. In the new game, the best of both worlds, traditional and modern, are combined to deliver the fantastic dynamic gameplay that Pragmatic Play is known for.
Four dice with special symbols can be found in the main game. The players could find the Diamond, Star, ST (Snake Totem), and SL (Snakes & Ladders). If two or more Diamonds or Stars land, the player gets the multipliers. The biggest possible multiplier can be obtained if four Stars or three Stars and a Diamond. If these symbols appear on the board, a multiplier of 20x is granted to the player.
If two or more SL symbols land on the board, the bonus Snakes & Ladders game is triggered on the 8×8 tile board.
The bonus game contains famous Snakes & Ladders elements that can either help the player get the biggest possible payout of 10.000x or let them fall down to the snakes’ nest.
If at least three ST symbols land during the main game, the Snake Totem bonus game could be triggered. The bonus game has a few levels, each of which contains various multipliers. The totem who awaits the luckiest players at the end of the round can award the player a fantastic prize of 2.000x the bet.
An impressive portfolio of Live Casino and Slot games:
Pragmatic Play is well-known for its popular Live Casino titles such as Sweet Bonanza CandyLand, PowerUp Roulette, Mega Baccarat, and Speed Auto Roulette. But the company is probably the most famous for its slot titles, releasing up to 8 of them per month. One of the recent releases, Zeus VS Hades – Gods of War, Pragmatic Play invites the players to join the legendary battle between two brothers. In this game, the player gets an opportunity to choose the side: Olympus or Hades. But don’t worry; the choice isn’t final – you can switch sides anytime during the base game, so you can experience both the light and the dark side.
Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “Consistent with our approach at Pragmatic Play to twist, transform, and elevate content, Snakes & Ladders Live captures the fun and familiarity of the original boardgame in an immersive Live Casino gameshow. Not only does Snakes & Ladders Live™ combine a nostalgic theme with modern, engaging gameplay, but it also offers a huge max win of up to 10,000x the player’s bet. We hope players have as much fun playing our new gameshow as we did creating it.”
The legal status of online casinos in India is complex and varies by state. While there is no federal law that explicitly addresses online gambling, the legality depends on state regulations and the type of gambling involved.
Key Points:
-
No National Law: India does not have a specific national law regulating online casinos. However, the Public Gambling Act of 1867 prohibits operating physical casinos and gambling houses, but it doesn't cover online platforms, leaving a legal grey area for online gambling.
-
State-Specific Laws: Some Indian states, like Goa, Sikkim, and Daman, have legalized land-based casinos, and others, such as Sikkim, have also licensed online gambling. Many states have banned gambling altogether, including online gambling.
-
Online Sports Betting: Betting on sports, particularly cricket, is very popular in India. However, it's only explicitly legal in some states like Sikkim and Nagaland, which have laws permitting online gaming and betting.
-
Legal Gray Area: Many international online casinos accept Indian players and operate legally under licenses from offshore jurisdictions (like Curacao or the UK Gambling Commission). As long as players are gambling on licensed platforms, the risk is minimal, but local authorities may still choose to regulate or restrict online gambling.
-
Cryptocurrency: Some Indian players prefer using cryptocurrencies (like Bitcoin) for online gambling, as it provides a layer of anonymity and security.
While online casinos aren't explicitly legal across all of India, many international casinos accept Indian players, and online gambling continues to grow in popularity. Players should ensure they use licensed platforms and understand local laws before engaging in online gaming.
