"Game" is a bit of a stretch as there are no player choices at all.
A more precise word would be simulation.
More precise, this "game" is exactly an absorbing Markov chain.
Since Snakes and Ladders is nothing but a Absorbing Markov chain, the results are exactly the same as for that general problem.
