In this latest slot game from the award-winning slot developer ELK Studios, the player steps back into the shoes of Kane the explorer to traverse the mysteries and hidden treasures of the capital of Nepal. In Katmandu Gold, you'll find fire, ice, dragons, and more than 4000 ways to win. Read on to find out everything you need to know about the all-new Katmandu Gold slot game, available now at Mr Green.
Katmandu Gold is one of the newest titles in the Mr Green slots library, having been released at the turn of 2021. This 6-reel, four-row slot utilises a unique layout and structure to provide the player with a huge number of pay lines and bonuses, including scatters, cascading wilds, and more.
The game is actually the fifth instalment in the so-called Gold Series, a collection of slots from ELK Studios with similar themes. In this latest release, you step into the shoes of the adventurer Kane, who is tasked with exploring the rugged mountainside metropolis of Katmandu in search of ancient and mysterious treasures. The game is clearly a step-up from some of the previous titles from ELK Studios, with the graphics, bonuses, and smooth gameplay being unlike anything we have seen from the studio to date.
The high-altitude action of the game takes place in a chilly mountainous setting, complete with temples, blizzards, and the ragged flags of explorers that have come before you. ELK have clearly done their research here, with the symbols and music remaining true to the theme throughout.
As you explore the realistic-looking mountain valleys, you'll find the classic playing card slot symbols, as well as the symbols representing the elements of fire, air, earth and water. The main icons to watch out for are the animal statue heads, comprising lions, dragons, tigers, and bears that are suitably bejewelled and dripping in gold. The more Himalayan treasure you can stuff into your satchel, the better your odds of unlocking a bonus.
In the immersive Katmandu Gold slot, you'll find a staggering 4,096 paylines and the potential to win huge jackpots from a single spin. What's more, this is one of the most feature-packed slot games we have ever seen, with players having the opportunity to customise virtually every element of their game.
You can also automatically incorporate a betting strategy of your choice into the game, by choosing one of the pre-set betting options from the main menu. There's a lot to unpack here, and we'll get into more detail later.
To win a payout on Katmandu Gold, all you need to do is rack up three to six identical symbols on a payline. True to form, Katmandu Gold's symbols are evocative of the thrilling setting where the action takes place. At the lower end of the value scale, you have your classic playing card symbols ranging from 2 to King.
The earth, air, water, and fire element symbols are the mid-value ones to watch, while the higher-value symbols consist of the lions, dragons, tigers, and bears described above. Green lotuses and yin yangs take the form of wilds, while the highest-paying symbol is none other than Kane the explorer himself. Rack up a full payline of Kane symbols and expect a payout worth up to 10,000 times your original stake. When it comes to the top Irish slot casino games, you can't get much better than this.
Avalanche Bonus
Land any winning combination whatsoever and automatically trigger a cascading wilds bonus. Your winning symbols will explode and make way for new ones in their place, potentially multiplying your payout several times over.
Expanding Wilds
If you land an expanding wild symbol on a winning payline, that symbol will expand and take over all of the surrounding reels, increasing your chances of hitting a win on your next spin.
Big Symbol Wilds
All of your symbols and wilds can randomly hit a Big Symbol bonus, causing that to expand to take up 4x4 space on the reels, significantly boosting your chances of a winning payline.
Ice Climber Bonus
Land two yin yang symbols on the reels and trigger the Ice Climber bonus. All symbols above the ice climber symbols are automatically converted to high-pay symbols, while all empty pockets underneath them are turned into wilds, giving you more ways to win.
Multipliers
If you rack up three bonus symbols anywhere on the reels, you can instantly win free spins multipliers. Three bonus symbols award you with ten free spins, four give your 15 free spins, and five bonus symbols give you a whopping 20 free spins.
