Advantages
- Mega symbols
- Free Spins
- x25 000 max win
Disadvantages
- Low RTP
Cluster Payouts are used to create winning combos in Katmandu X’s 6×6 reel layout. There is a high level of volatility, and the maximum return to player (RTP) is just 95%, so it’s not perfect even though the returns are tremendous (up to 25,000 times the investment). This ELK Studios slot uses the usual betting settings; therefore, in order to put bets ranging from C$0.20 to C$100.
Immediately impressive is the beautiful mountainous landscape, as well as the playing field, which is built into the gate in Asian style. When the symbols disappear, the effect is that you can see a great monastery. The symbols are also Asian style, and most are of animals. The Wild symbol is of crystal, and the bonus symbol is yin and yang. We are witnessing another unique design from ELK Studios.
Features of Katmandu X Slot
- Clusters of winning symbols are able to develop in Katmandu X, which has 36 symbols that are displayed on 6×6 reels. Clusters may occur if at least 5 symbols are nearby, either horizontally or vertically. To be eligible for the highest possible prizes, a cluster must include 16 or more symbols.
- The first thing that has to be done is to form a cluster. The symbols that contributed to a win disappear, and then a Wild symbol is inserted into one of the slots that are still available. The more drops you complete, the more valuable a progressive multiplier becomes, which in turn makes subsequent victories more lucrative.
- It is expected of Wild symbols to fulfil the role of substitutes, which enables them to contribute to any neighbouring clusters. Wild Strikes have the potential to add a variety of Wilds to the reels, which will take the place of conventional symbols.
- Wilds that are a member of more than one cluster get multipliers, and they will undergo a Wild Split in order to ensure that they are able to contribute to each of the clusters. In addition, there is a feature known as the Wild Merge, which combines many Wilds that are located inside the same cluster into a single multiplier Wild.
- Exploding Wilds are another possibility, and when they do, they clear the symbols from the surrounding area to make way for a drop.
- Mega Symbols, which may cover an area of up to 4×4 places, are another kind of symbol that can appear on the reels.
- Free Spins and Super Free Spins are the game’s primary features, and they are triggered by accumulating a certain number of Scatter symbols. There is a progressive multiplier that may be used, and its value can only rise.
- The X-iter Bonus Buy menu is now up for action and features a total of 5 possible choices this time around.
Katmandu X Slot Free Spins
Our opinion
The game performs quite well, and the reels spin at a good pace, with the most impressive and helpful feature for us being the overall multiplier located above the playing field. On multiple consecutive winning combinations, it reaches quite large values. We also have several types of Wild symbols, which can also have their own multiplier, split, merge or explode. All in all, there are quite a few useful things that should increase our money.
The most useful thing about the Free Spins round is also the total multiplier, which is not reset here. This can make a huge difference, as on some of the last spins, even a low-paying combination can add up to an extremely large amount. The game offers a purchase menu on most of the features, if you choose to use it, make sure to turn the menu off after using it as the selected option remains, and the amount is charged each time you press the spin button.
