Wooden ladders, a large green-and-red patterned python, and a pair of white dice with black pips recur throughout the UI as decorative framing (large ladders flank the reels on both sides; a giant snake body coils along the top of the screen above the reels).",

Basis is therefore recorded as BET-PER-LINE for regular-symbol payouts.

There is no Bonus Buy option in this game (confirmed absent from the base-game bottom bar and from the full 8-page rules booklet), so no purchase path exists to force the feature either.",

The one identified residual risk is the Progressive Feature snake meter: activated vs inactive sections are conveyed primarily through a green/red-to-magenta/blue hue swap with NO accompanying numeric counter (e.g. 'X/11') visible anywhere on the captured base-game screens -- a color-blind or low-vision player has no confirmed non-color way to read exact section-fill progress from the base-game screen alone.",

If an explicit numeric counter exists elsewhere in the UI (e.g. only visible on hover, or only during an active WILD DICE-hit animation), it was not captured.",
    "The Snakes & Ladders Board Bonus gameplay itself (the 12x12 board screen, the monkey-head token, an actual dice roll, a Money award/Multiplier/Ladder/Snake/Banana/Skyscraper landing, RAGE MODE, or a retrigger) was NOT captured on any screenshot -- it is documented in this file entirely from the verbatim rules text on paytable_p3.png/p4.png, not from a gameplay screen. See 'not_captured_notes' for the full explanation of the ~400-spin attempt.",
    "There is consequently no Board Bonus win-screen screenshot; the amount/format of the bonus win display (e.g. a 'CONGRATULATIONS' plaque style, as seen in other Pragmatic Play titles) is unknown and not assumed.",
    "Whether the 'X' in the on-screen banner text 'EXTRA BONUS X ROLLS' is ever replaced dynamically by an actual number (vs. remaining a literal letter 'X' as static UI copy) could not be determined from the static frames captured; it is described here only as literal display text, not interpreted further."
