How to Win

Landing three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels will trigger winning combinations in Katmandu Gold. The most generous symbol in the game is Kane himself who awards a prize of 50x your stake.

The game starts out with 4096 winning ways, which expand when you land wins. Once you hit a winning combination, more symbols fall onto the top of the original group of symbols to expanding the number of ways to win and giving you another chance to win.

There is also the chance that Big Symbols may appear on the reels. These are symbols that take up 2x2, 3x3 or 4x4 positions on the reels to increase your odds of winning.

Ice Climber and Expanding Win Features

There are two smaller bonus features that you can trigger during the base game and free spins round of Katmandu Gold.

Ice Climber

The first is the Ice Climber, which is triggered when you land two ice climber symbols. Here, all of the symbols above will be turned into high-paying symbols, and an additional row of symbols will be added to the game.

Expanding Win

Whenever a symbol with one or two arrows appears on the reels, they can trigger the Expanding Win feature. If it is involved in a winning combination, the symbol will expand in that direction, replacing all of the symbols in its path.  

Multiplier Free Drops

When you land three or more bonus symbols, you’ll trigger the free spins round – Multiplier Free Drops. The number of scatters that trigger the round will determine how many drops you get:

• 3 symbols: 10 drops
• 4 symbols: 15 drops
• 5 symbols 20 drops
• 6 symbols 25 drops

During this bonus, every bonus symbol that appears will increase the game’s win multiplier. This has the potential to trigger some amazing awards; however, it also means that you can’t retrigger the round.

Overall Review

The Gold series from ELK Studios is always good fun, and we’ve enjoyed every installment that we’ve played so far. Katmandu Gold is really no exception.

There’s nothing that we can find fault with in Katmandu Gold. There’s lots going on, but it doesn’t make for confusing gameplay and big wins are available but you don’t end up waiting a long time in between wins. So, it’s a great balance of gameplay that really keeps you entertained as you spin the reels.
