Kathmandu is the capital city of Nepal in the Himalayas, and along with being the starting point of most Mount Everest expeditions, it is also home to some of the most beautiful Buddhist temples. Microgaming have incorporated the culture and natural beauty of Kathmandu into a graphic-rich pokies game that pays tribute to this majestic city, giving you the opportunity to immerse yourself in a reel spinning adventure that offers big rewards.
Kathmandu is a 5 reel, 9 payline pokies game. On the reels you will find images of the local people, temples, artefacts and attractions of this Nepalese city. Some of the highest paying symbols include a man leading an elephant, a Buddhist temple, coffee beans and a prayer wheel.
When it comes to bonus features Kathmandu is packed full of extra rewards, while the game includes Wild symbols, Scatter symbols, free spins, multipliers and a hefty jackpot.
In Kathmandu, the Wild symbol is an image of the Buddhist prayer wheel. This is definitely one of the symbols to keep an eye on, as it is also the highest paying symbol of the game. The Wild symbol can be used to substitute for any of the other symbols except for the Scatter to create a winning combination. If you are lucky enough to line up all five Wild symbols on an active payline, you will win a jackpot payout of 6000 coins.
The Scatter symbol in Kathmandu is the bell. This symbol pays out in any position of the reels and is the key to triggering the free spins bonus round. To unlock the bonus round you must land 3 or more bell Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels, and once the bonus round has been triggered you will be rewarded with 15 free spins.
The bonus round in Kathmandu provides plenty of winning opportunities. In addition to rewarding you with 15 free spins, a random multiplier is added to the bonus round. The multiplier awarded can go up to 5x on every win, and during the free spins round another Wild symbol is added to the reels. The Buddhist temple Wild will randomly appear on the reels in conjunction with the standard Wild symbol, increasing your chances of lining up a winning combination and having your payout multiplied by as much as 5x on every successful spin!
To make Kathmandu all that more exotic and exciting there’s also a Gamble Feature that can be activated optionally after every winning spin. In this online pokies feature you can wager your winnings on a simple card game, where predicting the colour of the card will see them doubled, and getting the suit right will quadruple them! There’s a limit of 5 correct picks, but remember, if you lose you’ll forfeit all your winnings and have to start all over again.
Chock full of winning opportunities, Kathmandu will keep you entertained with every roll of its online pokies’ colourful reels!
