Kane the adventurer is known for his globetrotting adventures in search of hidden gold deposits and nuggets. To help players follow up on all of Kane's adventures, ELK Studios launched the gold slots series. Katmandu Gold is the fifth game in this series. Kane takes his adventure to the capital of Nepal in this slot machine. Over here, he visits the foot of the Himalayan Mountains where ancient myths and history state that there are loads of gold deposits. Will he be successful in uncovering the hidden gold deposits? That's what players get to see once they start spinning the six reels of Katmandu Gold featuring a default 4.096 ways to win (which can rise to 531,441 ways to win).

Game Aesthetics

The mere fact that Katmandu Gold was set at the foot of the Himalayas mountains should tell you a lot about this slot's graphics. The Himalayas are renowned for exuding great beauty and as such, gorgeous and magnificent graphics are to be expected when playing the game. The backdrop is depicted by a brick-only wall with the entire ground snow-covered. The pillars demarcating the reel grid are embroiled with large golden serpents.

Key Game Details

One of the great beauties of this slot machine is that players may follow Kane on his adventures when playing in either the demo mode or real money mode. The presence of these two modes means it's possible to spin the reels both for free and for real. When spinning for free, you receive free wagering credits. Unfortunately, all payouts awarded only churn out virtual wins. To get your wins in cash, you need to play in real money mode where it's a prerequisite to wager real cash.

For those playing in real money mode, the bet options you can choose from range from 0.20 coins to 100.00 coins per spin. This in essence makes Katmandu Gold appealing to low rollers, mid-range players to high rollers. In choosing your bet options, keep in mind that this is a medium to high-volatility game. As such, structure your bankroll to sustain you for a relatively long gaming session as you may go on some dry spells.

Game Symbols

• Wild: The golden lotus flower which is inscribed WILD represents the substituting symbol. Its substituting powers enable it to substitute for all icons except the bonus symbol and the ice climber.
• Scatter: The icon inscribed BONUS represents the scatter symbol.
• Regular Symbols: Featured reel symbols include Kane the adventurer, turtles, dragons, tigers, elements of fire, water, earth and air as well as poker symbols.

Game Features

• Multiplier Free Drops Bonus Game: Three scatters landing simultaneously help players trigger the multiplier free drops bonus game. A starting multiplier is awarded at the start of the feature. This multiplier will increase each time a new scatter symbol lands on the reels. There is no limit as to how high the multiplier increments.
• Wild Expanding Win: Each time a wild symbol lands and features in a winning combination, it will expand in the direction indicated by the pop-up arrows. This has a positive bearing on the game as it can further enhance the win line so that it pays more.
• Ice Climber: Two or more ice climber symbols landing on the reels at once help trigger the Ice Climber feature. When triggered, the reels with the triggering symbols will see all their symbols eliminated including the triggering icons. This, therefore, paves the way for new symbols to land hence the evaluation of new win lines.
• Big Symbol: At random during gameplay, colossal symbols may land on the reels. Colossal symbols may come in a 2x2, 3x3, or 4x4 format.
• Avalanche: All win lines landed help trigger the avalanche feature. When triggered, the game dispenses payouts for the last win line and the winning symbols disappear from their positions. This in turn allows new symbols to land and then the evaluation of new winning combinations. Thanks to avalanches, it's possible for players to get consecutive win lines. Note that on each avalanche, an additional row is added to the reel grid. The rows however increase in height to a maximum of 8 symbols high.
