Katmandu Gold

Game description:

Katmandu Gold is an exciting game that takes place somewhere on a mountaintop in Tibet. The main character Kane has discovered a map in an ancient scroll that he found while exploring the area. The map is said to lead to the Temple of Heaven. Kane had heard stories about the mythical temple from his childhood. The temple is said to contain wisdom and treasure that would make any adventurer want to hunt it. It was said that everything was a myth, it turns out that it is real. We find our hero outside the gates.

The game has 6 columns, 4 rows and has 4 096 ways to win. There are three core features, one of which is called Ice Climber, which is a symbol available in sizes 1x1 and 2x2. When triggered, the function replaces the Ice Climber symbol, and all symbols above. The other core feature is Expanding Win, which is available in the size 1x1. When triggered, it replaces all symbols in the direction of the arrows, which can be up, down or both directions. Each win generates a new line up to 8 lines, but with the possibility of getting a 9 line under certain conditions.

The third core feature is when three or more bonus symbols trigger the Multiplier Fee Drops bonus game. Each bonus symbol in the bonus game, increases a multiplier by 1x. This multiplier applies to all future winnings during the bonus game. Three bonus symbols within the bonus game trigger a refill of free drops.
