Golden Yak

This game is no longer available at Monkey Casino. Sorry about that!
Why not try Respin Rhino from Lightning Box Games instead?  

Golden Yak slot is from Lightning Box Games has some impressive stats: 1024 Ways to Win (fewer than the Eskimo Dough slot, but still), multipliers up to 100x and 3600x your bet wins, but best of all it’s themed on the mighty yak!

The Graphics

A dramatic Himalayan snowscape at sundown make up the backdrop to game, and all this is set on an incongruous purple background.  Meanwhile, the soundtrack to accompany your spins are the bleeps and jingles you’d usually associate with Lightning Box Games.

Give the game a whirl on our free demo game to test it out before playing for real. You´ll just need to register at Monkey Casino to unlock all of our demo games. Golden Yak slot is completely different to Nolimit City’s  Tesla Jolt slot, but it’s fun to try something different.

Golden Yak Slot Game Play

Golden Yak slot comes with 5 reels, 4 rows and 1024 ways to win. That’s 761 Ways to Win more than the Ingots of Cai Shen slot and that’s all thanks to that extra row.

Your wins are created by matching 3x or more symbols from left-to-right across the reels. Bets start at 0.40 coins and go up to 50.00 per spin.

The reel symbols are represented by wild horses, snow leopards, big birds of prey and a moose/reindeer creature. I’m fairly sure neither if these beasts are native to Tibet, but I digress. Plus, there’s a local Tibetan chap wearing a hat made from what could be our eponymous yak. The 10, J, Q & K playing cards make up the lower end of the pay table.

The mighty Golden Yak will act as the Wild icon in the game and substitutes for all other symbols on the reels to make extra winning combos for you. He is also very important in the Free Spins bonus (see below)

The Tibetan temple icon is the Scatter symbol, and a very welcome sight it is too, as the Bonus feature is firecracker!

The Bonuses

You could be waiting a while, but land 3x Scatter symbols on the reels and you’ll trigger off the Free Spins feature – receiving 7 bonus spins for your trouble. Now, for every Golden Yak Wild symbol that lands on reels 2 and 4, you’ll get a x2 multiplier.

Level Up

Land 2x more scatters on the same free spin and you’ll get a Level Up – adding another 7 free spins to your total! This will also increase the value of the wild multipliers…

– Level 2: Multipliers of 3x and 9x
– Level 3: Multipliers of 4x and 16x
– Level 4: Multipliers of 5x and 25x
– Level 5: Multipliers of 8x and 64x
– Level 6: Multipliers of 10x and 100x

Reach Level 6 and you could be in a Tibetan Nirvana!

The Monkey Verdict

It might be an unusual choice of animal to base a slot game on (there can only be so many monkey-themed titles, can’t there?) and I’ve definitely seen better graphics, but strangely Golden Yak slot works quite well.

The base game is a touch repetitive, but set off those Free Spins bonus, and your heart will race as you level up and edge close to the Yakpot!

Hats off to Lightning Box Games.
