How the Game Plays

Katmandu Gold follows the explorer Kane as he travels to the Himalayan mountains of Nepal in search of temple gold. The game begins on a 6x4 grid with 4,096 ways to win, utilizing an Avalanche mechanic where winning symbols vanish to let new ones drop in. Each successful avalanche adds an extra row to the grid, potentially expanding the layout to a massive 6x9 size with 531,441 ways to win. Symbols include traditional card ranks alongside thematic icons like elements, tigers, dragons, and the high-value Kane symbol. Big symbols ranging from 2x2 to 4x4 can drop on any spin, crushing smaller symbols beneath them to reach the bottom of the grid.

Free Spins Explained

The Multiplier Free Drops bonus is triggered by landing three or more bonus symbols. Depending on the number of triggers, you can start with 10 to 25 free drops. This round features a persistent multiplier that does not reset between spins. Every bonus symbol that lands during the feature increases the multiplier level, which applies to all subsequent wins. The bonus can be retriggered, and the grid’s safety level ensures that expanded rows do not fully reset during the sequence.

Ice Climber and Expanding Win Explained

The Ice Climber feature is activated by landing two Yin Yang symbols. This mechanic replaces the Yin Yangs and all symbols above them with high-value symbols or wilds. If an Ice Climber is triggered on the eighth row, it unlocks a hidden ninth row, maximizing the ways to win. Additionally, Expanding Win symbols can appear; when they form part of a winning combination, they expand in the direction of their gold arrows, replacing symbols in their path with identical winning icons or wilds to create massive connections.
