Yaks are very important animals in Mongolia, but the Golden Yak will definitely be one of the animal deities after this text. The 2019 release is a five-reel, three-row video slot that benefits from 1,024 ways to win. Playable from $0.40 per spin, the Lightning Box title offers a Free Spins feature with multiple levels, where players get the opportunity to level up in order to obtain higher multiplier Wilds. The Golden Yak is the game’s Wild that can land only on reels 2, and 4, hence the name of the video slot. The biggest payout you can expect is set at 3,600x bet per spin.
The reels are set on the highlands of Mongolia, with a nomad camp placed in the background. The life in the plains is simple, and so are the rules of the 2019 release. The Golden Yak video slot features five reels, three rows, and offers 1,024 ways to win. To win payouts, players need to land matching symbols on at least three consecutive reels, beginning from the far-left reel. Only the top three high-value symbols pay even for two of a kind. Betting starts at $0.40, while the biggest wager per single spin is set at $50.
Nomads from Mongolia are used to a simple life in the wilderness and that can easily be seen once you start spinning the reels. The visuals are simple but lovely, and the soundtrack fits the theme perfectly. The Mongolian Warrior is the symbol that pays the most, offering 300 coins for five of a kind. Also, players will see plenty of Wild Horses, Moos, Mountain Lions, and Eagles. Playing cards with Mongolian ornaments are used for low-value icons. The Golden Yak is the Wild that substitutes for all regular icons, while the Temple is the Scatter that triggers the Free Spins feature.
Look for the Temple Scatter on all reels if you are planning on triggering the Free Spins feature. Land three or four of them in order to win up to 400 coins and get 7 free spins. There are multiple levels players can pass during the feature, and in each of the levels, the Wild multiplier goes up. Gamers will start at Level 1, where the Golden Yak Wild comes with 2x multiplier. If you get two Yak Wilds on the reels at the same time, the total multiplier will be 4x.
The Golden Yak Wild appears only on reels 2 and 4. During the feature, you can land more Scatters. Two or more of them will get you 7 extra freebies and allow you to advance to another level. With each level, the Wild multiplier gets bigger, until it reaches Level 6 and above, where the Wild multiplier reaches 10x. Combine two Wilds on reels 2 and 4 and the total win multiplier will be 100x.
The 2019 release is not the best video slot Lightning Box has to offer, but it is quite nice. Players will enjoy the stroll over the Mongolian highlands but will have to be prepared to wait for a little while before they trigger the Free Spins feature. Also, it will not be easy to reach higher levels of the feature, but once you do, a potential 100x multiplier can boost your winnings.
