Katmandu X

Katmandu X is a visually striking slot game developed by ELK Studios, set against the backdrop of the Himalayan mountains in Nepal. The game features a 6×6 grid with a cluster pays system, awarding wins for combinations of 5 or more symbols connected horizontally or vertically.

The theme is heavily inspired by Nepalese and Tibetan culture, with symbols representing the four elements (water, earth, wind, and fire) as lower-paying icons, and golden faces of animals like birds, mountain lions, and dragons as higher-paying symbols. The game's atmosphere is enhanced by the snowy mountain setting, with a pagoda-like structure visible in the background.

Katmandu X incorporates several innovative features:

• Cascading Wins: After each win, winning symbols disappear, and new ones fall from above. A Wild Symbol is randomly placed before new symbols are added.
• Win Multiplier: Increases by 1 for every winning symbol, applied to all wins in a cascade. Resets between spins in the base game but not in free spins.
• Wild Symbols: Regular Wilds substitute for all regular symbols. Multiple Wilds in a win merge to become a Multiplier Wild. Exploding Wilds remove all surrounding symbols.
• Wild Strike: Randomly transforms regular symbols into various types of Wilds.
• Big Symbols: Regular symbols can appear in 1×1, 2×2, 3×3, and 4×4 sizes, with larger symbols guaranteeing wins.
• Free Spins: Triggered by 3 Scatter symbols, awarding 7 free spins. The Win Multiplier doesn't reset during this feature.
• Super Free Spins: Activated by a Super Scatter with 2 regular Scatters, or by landing a Super Scatter during regular Free Spins. Guarantees Super Wild Strikes on every spin.
• X-iter Bonus Buy: Allows players to purchase various features, including increased chances of triggering free spins, guaranteed Exploding Wilds, and direct entry to Free Spins or Super Free Spins.

The game boasts high volatility with an RTP of 95.0% and a maximum win potential of 25,000x the bet. With its unique blend of features and striking visual design, Katmandu X offers an engaging and potentially rewarding gaming experience.
