Katmandu X

Katmandu X Review

Visually, and as the title suggests, Katmandu X builds upon previous releases, offering a familiar experience. However, the gameplay mechanics closely resemble those found in another title, presenting a unique twist. Set high in the Himalayan mountains, the game features a visually stunning and uplifting presentation.

Similar to other releases, the game includes a global win multiplier that increases with each removed winning symbol in all stages. Additionally, a new exploding wild can remove symbols to further increase the win multiplier. Wilds merge to create multiplier wilds, and these can also split. The multiplier only continues to build in the bonus round, and the Wild Strike random wilds feature is present on every Super Free Spin. The 25,000x potential is substantial, and the combination of elements makes for an engaging experience.

Katmandu X Slot Features

You need between 5 and 16+ matching symbols in a cluster anywhere on the 6x6 grid to win, with minimum wins ranging from 0.05 to 1.5 x your stake. Landing 16+ cluster wins awards between 4 and 100 x your stake. The Avalanche mechanic removes all winning symbols, and a wild symbol is spawned before new symbols drop down. This process repeats as long as you keep winning.

Wilds substitute for pay symbols to complete and/or improve winning clusters. When multiple wilds participate in the same win, they merge into one wild for the next avalanche drop, creating a multiplier wild. Multiplier wilds that connect multiple winning clusters will split into the relevant clusters. The Exploding Wild removes all surrounding symbols, triggering the Avalanche redrop.

The Wild Strike feature can trigger randomly, upgrading positions to wilds, multiplier wilds, or exploding wilds.

The global Win Multiplier is visible and increases for every removed symbol, including those removed by the exploding wild. This multiplier boosts all winning clusters once its value is higher than x1. Wild multipliers boost cluster wins first, followed by the global win multiplier. The win multiplier resets between base game spins.

You will encounter Big Symbols, which are pay symbols that can reach sizes up to 4x4. Big symbols count as regular 1x1 symbols when part of a win and crush regular 1x1 symbols on each redrop. Matching symbols, wilds, or free drop symbols are not crushed. Empty positions below a big symbol are automatically filled with 1x1-sized matching symbols.

You need to accumulate 3 bonus symbols in the same Avalanche sequence, or in a single drop, to trigger the Bonus Round, awarding 7 free drops. The key difference from the base game is that the global win multiplier never resets. You win +1 extra free spin from each Yin & Yang scatter during the feature.

If one of the triggering bonus symbols is a Super Bonus symbol, you get the Super Bonus Round. You can also upgrade the regular feature to the Super version by landing a Super bonus symbol on a free drop. You get the Wild Strike feature on every Super Free Drop, always awarding multiplier wilds and/or exploding wilds.

The Bonus Buy menu may be available, offering options such as:

• Bonus Hunt - pay to double your bonus round chances.
• Exploding Wild - pay for a guaranteed exploding wild.
• Super Wild Strike - pay for a guaranteed Super Wild Strike feature.
• Bonus - pay to get the regular bonus round.
• Super Bonus - pay to get the Super version of the bonus round.
