ELK Studios is back with a brand new slot announcement, I recently reviewed ‘Nitropolis‘. Which shows a post-apocalyptic world with clans fighting it out for possession of green nitro. The studio is back with a new addition to their popular GOLD slot series. This slot is titled ‘Katmandu Gold‘, set to release December 1st across all sites.
On this GOLD adventure main character Kane travels to the high Nepalese mountains to find inner peace to take a vacation from traveling the world. This is the fifth installment of the GOLD series. With ‘Black River Gold‘, ‘Tahiti Gold‘, ‘Voodoo Gold‘ as some of the most successful.
