Kathmandu

Kathmandu is 9 payline video slot from Microgaming software. This game is old, so you can not expect much from it, when we talk about graphics and sound effect, music.I played it only once and I do not like it. The game offer free spins feature, when three or more bell symbols appears on the reels. I never got three bells, but I played it for some time, so I expected that I will receive free spins. This was first disappointment, I played it for a longer time without free spins feature. In paytable it looks good, 15 free spins up to x5 multiplier. I think only here you can win big amounts, base game is not so interesting.While I was playing it, I had only small winnings, never more than x100 bet size. I saw here, at AskGamblers forum some good winning screenshots, so I think this game could provide good wins. But I had no luck when I played it. A few times I had two wild symbols and some other symbols but the payout was not so good, I expected more since wild symbols have good payout ratio. Maybe this is because I had near wilds low payout symbol, but still symbol was not so low. It was better than A or K so I expected more.

Kathmandu it is Microgaming video slot, it was created long time ago, but I already played it couple of times after this my testing of all games, and this can mean only that I like this game, it looks not perfect of course, but it is cool.This game has only 9 paylines, and this can only mean that minimal possible bet here is 0.09, of course if you not this type of gamblers who always play only few lines, in such case your bet size can be even lower (but i did not see a point to play with such low bet, all awards are not cool with such bet, and even 5 wilds will not pay huge money). Wilds here presented on all reels, 5 wilds will pay more than x 400 total bet, and in this game all payouts is really mixed. There is no any stupid bonus game or something like this, you can simply trigger free spins feature by landing 3+ scatters, by the way 5 scatters will pay 100 x total bet, not so big amount of money of course, but still very sweet. By 3+ scatters I always awarded with 15 free spins with up to x 5 multiplier. I think you can easy agree with me here that it is nice feature and balanced, and most likely no one will be sad with this. But it is still not all, second paying symbol during free games is also work as wilds, so here we generally have 15 free spins with x 5 multiplier and extra wild. My best hit at this video slot was at Betat casino, I was able to have a great feature, almost x 400 total bet and this is my best result in this game.I like this medium variance game, and even think that this one is almost high variance, because feature here is amazing, but variance here is high, most times you win bad, but you will see such great features, that cover all your costs.

The free spins feature is hard to trigger. And while I was playing it, it became boring at base game. Waiting so long for free spins feature. I also played other games with 9 paylines and I received free spins, but here it is very hard. This is main thing which bothered me. The payouts during base game could also be better. Otherwise I don't see anything special about this game, it is not so attractive and it is old. So I think I will not play it more in future since I had no luck at it.

Kathmandu is a Microgaming slot game with 5 reels and 9 paylines. The fist thing I want to say is that I rarely play slot games with only 9 paylines. Two reasons for that. First you can't expect some big wins here and second most of the games are older with a low level of graphic which is not at the same level as newer slot games. Still when my balance at some casino drops to 10 or less euros than I search for games with less paylines where i can play with a smaller bet. In that case Kathmandu is mostly my first choice when I play in some casino run by Microgaming software. I like Kathmandu more than other similar games from the Microgaming offer like Thunderstruck I, Agent Jane Blonde or let's say Spring Break or some other. Microgaming really does have a big number of 9 payline slots. What separates this game form the other similar games is the free spins feature with random multiplier up to 5x something like in Avalon I. All of that means that during the free spins feature you can have some big wins. Personally it happened to me a few times while I was playing this game thanks to the free spins and random multiplier I had wins that were like 150 x bet and even bigger which felt great. About the disappointments I had while playing this game , which were a lot, I won't say much. I'll just mention that on one occasion my balance was 30 euros and I lost all of it playing this game with a minimum bet of 0.9 and during that time I got the free spins bonus only 2 times. Because of this disappointment I rarely play this game in some casino nowadays. Overall this game is a classical video slot game that you can find in the microgaming offer of slots. For Kathmandu slot game I give 6 out of 10.

There are a bunch of things wrong with this video slot. Some are for the scattered bells. As almost every slot requires 3, these scatters appear for example on the 1st 2 reels to begin rolling for the other 3 reels. When this happens the bells never show up, I played over 100 spins to try to land the 15 Free spins but had it in my hands when I gotten to about 160 spins for 6 coins. The other thing worth mentioning is that this slot carries very few paylines to grab a bunch of wins so your limited to 9 paylines to make things work. It's very boring and some players will likely be bored just by looking at this slot initially lol. The graphics are old and possibly retro that they can't challenge the up to date graphics of our modern video slots. Right Frozen Dawn and Thunderstruck II?
