The Risk Ladder
Challenge: Climb the gamble ladder!
It has become an essential part of every multigamer, is among the most popular elements of our MERKUR games, delivers thrills and excitement – and has also driven more than a few of us to despair.
We explain the well-known and much-loved risk ladder for beginners, and we are sure to have one or two new facts in store even for long-standing ladder pros.
How to climb the risk ladder
To access the risk ladder, you first need a win. After that, you will notice the illuminated risk buttons (ladder and cards), indicating that you can start the risk ladder. The size of your win determines the level at which you enter the ladder. Using the risk ladder button, you now try to climb it – commonly referred to as pressing up.
If you make it to 14,000, you advance to the risk ladder plus.
However, if you fail to climb to the next steps of the ladder, you eventually fall back to zero and return to the game.
Did you know?
In the past, people often spoke of “140 machines”. This was how guests referred to the gaming machines with games that included a risk ladder.
