Golden Yak

Golden Yak is an Asian-themed slot, but instead of falling into the Chinese or Japanese cliché, it opts for the Mongolian. Is it worth your time? Try it out when you play for free with us and find out how it works by reading our opinion below.

The Golden Yak numbers

The game is based on the classic five reels and four heights, considering 1024 pay lines or, better said in this case, ways to win. The minimum bet is 40 cents and the maximum is € 50.

This is a high variance game, but the RTP, which is 95.52%, seems too short.

Special functions

It is clear that the main symbol of this game is the yak. A very versatile animal that not only served for the consumption of meat and milk, but also for the transport of objects and as a source of skin for clothing. Therefore, it is not surprising that in a Mongolian-themed slot machine, this animal is the protagonist. In this case, the yak is the wild, it is replaced by any symbol except the scatter, and it can only appear on reels 2 and 4.

The bonus is obtained with the appearance of 3 or 4 temples. It consists of 7 free spins. If the yak appears in them, the winnings are multiplied by x2 times one yak and x4 times two yaks. Symbols may also appear to level up. You will need two for this to happen and you will be given another 7 free spins, but the multipliers will increase to x3 times one yak and x9 times two.

There are six levels, in the sixth, the winnings with a yak are multiplied x10 and those obtained with two yaks for the impressive figure of x100.

The design - Play in a Mongolian camp

In the background we will have purple mountains due to the mist and on the rollers symbols representing hawks, wildcats, warriors, and horses.

It's a simple design. Being a 2020 slot, it could have been perfectly the same two or three years ago, since the animations are excessively simple.

The prizes

The maximum prize that can be achieved in this slot it is x3600 your bet. It's definitely a good prize, but considering the RTP is less than 96% and the variance is high, the guys at Lightning Box Games could have been more generous.

In-game base, the Mongolian warrior pays 7.5 times the bet for five appearances and is the highest paying symbol.

Golden Yak's opinion

It seems that Lightning Box Games is simply wanted to cover the file and, in our opinion, they have done it with great difficulty. It is a slot that works, but it does not stand out in anything.

Neither the theme is really attractive, nor the design is especially captivating, nor the spectacular prizes.

In any case, you can play Golden Yak for free with us at SlotJava.
