It is part of Elk’s famous gold series; this time, it seems Kane has travelled to the mountains of the Far East.
As with the previous games in the gold series, Katmandu features the famous elk grid setup, where extra symbols and payways drop in with every win.
So, let’s find out below what Kane offers players on his adventure this time.
Slot Features
Avalanches
Triggering after every win and removing the winning symbols to allow new ones to drop for another chance to win. An extra row is added to the grid, up to a maximum height of 8. Avalanches continue as long as wins keep landing.
Big Symbols
Super, mega, and epic symbols of 2×2, 3×3, or 4×4 size that may appear on any symbol drop.
Yin & Yang symbols
known as the Ice Climber. If two land, the Ice Climber feature is triggered. All symbols above the Ice Climbers are replaced with wilds or high-pay symbols, while any empty positions beneath them turn wild. If the Ice Climber is triggered on the 8th row, an extra row is added, taking winning ways up to 531,441.
Pay symbols or wilds may land with a gold arrow attached above, below, or both. This is the Expanding Win Symbol. When these symbols are used in a win, they expand in the direction of the arrow, replacing all symbols in their path.
The main event is free drops, triggered when three or more bonus symbols appear on the screen during a drop sequence. The number awarded is 10, 15, 20, or 25 drops when 3, 4, 5, or 6 bonus symbols are in view. Free drops can be retriggered too. The bonus game is different from Gold games of the past.
This one comes with a win multiplier that starts at x1. Each time a bonus symbol marked with an ‘X’ lands, the multiplier increases by +1.
Bonus Buys
The first is a typical 100x the bet outlay to buy 3-6 bonus symbols on the next drop. Then there is the Buy Super Bonus, which also gets you 3-6 bonus symbols, but where the win multiplier starts at 10x.
This one doesn’t come cheap, though. You’re looking at 500x the bet to activate the Super Buy Bonus.
Summary:
The game contains various in-game features, such as expanding wilds, two or more ice climber symbols allowing them to climb up the reels and finally the bonus free spins, where landing extra bonus symbols increases your free spins multiplier.
All in all, Katmandu is an excellent addition to the Gold series, and I’m sure fans of the series rate this as one of the best instalments.
So join Kane and give Katmandu Gold a spin.
