How the Game Plays

Prize Ladder transports players into the high-energy atmosphere of a glitzy TV game show studio. Set against a backdrop of neon purple and blue stage lighting, the game features a mix of classic fruit machine symbols and modern visuals. The 5x4 grid utilizes the Anyways Rolling Reels™ mechanic, allowing winning combinations to form both from left to right and right to left across 1,024 ways. When a win occurs, the symbols involved are removed, allowing new ones to cascade into place for potentially consecutive hits. The symbol set includes traditional cherries, lemons, grapes, and watermelons alongside higher-paying 7s and diamonds.

The Prize Ladder & Padlocks Explained

The defining feature of this Northern Lights Gaming title is the Prize Ladder™ mechanic. Every individual symbol on the reels has its own progressive ladder displayed on the side. Each time a symbol is part of a winning cascade within a single spin, its specific ladder moves up a step, increasing its payout value for subsequent cascades. While these ladders usually reset between spins, landing a Padlock symbol locks the current progress for the following round, allowing for strategic momentum.

Free Spins & Super Spins Explained

The Free Spins bonus is triggered by landing three Scatter symbols on the middle reels, awarding eight free games. During this round, all Prize Ladder progress becomes persistent and does not reset between spins, maximizing the potential for top-tier payouts. Additionally, the game includes Super Spins, which activate when a full reel of matching symbols with Star overprints appears on the outer reels. This triggers a hold-and-spin style sequence where the chosen symbols lock in place while the rest of the grid respins to climb the ladders further.
