Scale the Peaks of the Himalayas 

Using ELK Studios’ mobile-friendly user interface, you can set your preferred stake by clicking the coins icon and choosing one of the preset values. When you’re ready to start playing Katmandu Gold online, click the spin button and watch the result unfold on-screen. 

When you press the spin button, grid symbols drop and new ones take their place from above. Winning combinations are formed when three or more matching payout symbols land on adjacent reels. It doesn’t matter which rows matching symbols land, however, the first one must land on the leftmost reel for a winning formation to be valid. 

At the start of each Katmandu Gold slot base round, the grid has six reels, four rows, and 4,096 ways to win. However, through the combination of the Avalanche and Ice Climber Features, the grid can expand to feature a maximum of 531,441 possible winning combinations, one of the highest numbers of any slots at our online casino. 

The explorer symbol pays the slot’s highest-value prizes, awarding between 1.5x and 5x. Dragon symbols offer the second-best payouts, ranging between 1x and 3x. 

Katmandu Gold Features 

Katmandu Gold is packed with dynamic features that enhance its Himalayan theme and its entertaining value. 

Avalanche Feature 

Every winning combination in the Katmandu Gold base or bonus round triggers the Avalanche Feature. This feature is present in many popular online slots as it creates fresh winning combinations by replacing winning symbols with new ones. In addition, it expands the grid by one row. 

Any subsequent winning combinations retrigger the Avalanche Feature, expanding the grid to a maximum of eight rows. 

Big Symbol 

Any slot symbol can land as a Big Symbol anywhere on the grid, increasing the likelihood of forming a winning combination. Super symbols have a 2x2 size while Mega symbols have a 3x3 size. Epic symbols, meanwhile, cover four reels and four rows. 

Ice Climber 

Landing two or more Ice Climber symbols triggers a special feature whereby all symbols above the Yin Yang symbols transform into wilds or high-paying symbols. Any empty positions below these symbols are guaranteed to turn wild, and if the triggering symbols land on the eighth row, they unlock a special ninth row. 

Expanding Win 

Random standard symbols and wilds can be given a special golden arrow frame, transforming them into Expanding Win symbols. These symbols can expand in the direct of their arrow to guarantee a winning combination. 

Kathmandu Gold Multiplier Free Drops 

The Multiplier Free Drops bonus is activated whenever three or more bonus symbols hit on the same drop. This bonus begins with between 10 and 25 free drops and can be retriggered with three or more bonus symbols. 

During free drops, every bonus symbol increases the base multiplier, boosting the value of standard payouts.
