Kendoo Adds 4 Gold Carts to Portfolio Featuring Mining Theme and Five Jackpots

Kendoo continues its aggressive expansion in the mechanics-focused online slot market. With the release of 4 Gold Carts on July 30, 2026, the company has added a mining-themed title to its growing portfolio. The focus remains on the evolution of the studio’s signature 4 Pots series. This series is characterized by its ability to activate multiple bonus mechanics simultaneously on the reels. The developers' goal was to create a gaming experience where bonus rounds evolve dynamically and rarely play out the same way twice.

Technically, the game is built on the established Hold and Win principle, which is currently seeing high saturation in the industry. Kendoo attempts to differentiate itself by layering up to four simultaneous features. The base structure consists of a 5x3 layout, which can change significantly during special features. According to official statements, the flexibility of the bonus triggers is intended to increase attractiveness for online casino operators. The game follows successful predecessors such as 4 Egypt Scarabs and 4 Fire Rockets.

Numbers and facts

A look at the hard facts shows that Kendoo relies on mathematical variance for this title. There are a total of five fixed jackpot tiers: Mini, Minor, Major, Grand, and Royal. The Royal Jackpot represents the top prize at 3,000x the total bet. The bonus game is triggered by landing at least one Bonus symbol and can activate between one and four mechanics simultaneously. These are divided into Expand, Multi, Collect, and Power.

The Expand mechanic increases the grid from a 5x3 setup to up to 5x6 fields. The Multi feature applies random multipliers to bonus symbols, while Collect gathers all values from active symbols at once. The Power feature becomes active only after the main bonus round concludes, offering an additional multiplier of up to 10x. To speed up access to these features, two buy options were integrated: the Random Bonus selects a random combination, while the Super Bonus guarantees a start with all four mechanics active.

Background

Kendoo was founded as recently as 2024 and is headquartered on the Isle of Man. The company operates under the regulatory framework of the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission. Despite its short history, the studio has quickly specialized in multi-pot formats and integrated jackpots. The new 4 Gold Carts is considered the most configurable entry in the company's history to date. Olga Mugliett, the studio's Commercial Director, sees flexibility as the decisive market advantage.

"One of the biggest strengths of the 4 Pots format is its flexibility, allowing us to build completely different experiences around a mechanic that players already know and enjoy. With 4 Gold Carts, we wanted to create a bonus feature that evolves as it progresses, where every additional mechanic unlocks new opportunities and increases the excitement." - Olga Mugliett, Commercial Director at Kendoo

Why it matters for German players

For German players, the situation remains complex. Since Kendoo currently operates primarily under Isle of Man supervision, availability in casinos with a German license from the Joint Gambling Authority of the States (GGL) is still limited at the time of release. The State Treaty on Gambling 2021 (GlüStV 2021) sets very strict limits on slot design. Notably, the Buy Feature promoted by Kendoo is strictly prohibited in licensed GGL casinos. German players on legal portals must also contend with the 1 Euro per round stake limit and a mandatory pause between spins.

Another critical point is the connection to the LUGAS IT system. This monitors the monthly deposit limit of 1,000 Euros across all providers. Slots with progressive or high fixed jackpots, like the five tiers offered by 4 Gold Carts, are subject to rigorous testing in Germany. While jackpots are treated restrictively in the GlüStV, GGL-licensed providers may only offer such titles if they meet strict German transparency and addiction prevention standards. Players should therefore always check the official GGL whitelist before wagering real money.

What it means for GGL-licensed casinos

German operators with a GGL license must make technical adjustments when integrating Kendoo titles. The Buy Feature must be disabled for the German market. Additionally, the 5-second rule between spins is mandatory. This often reduces the original dynamic that studios like Kendoo emphasize in their press releases. Nevertheless, the mining theme might resonate in Germany, as this aesthetic is traditionally popular among local players. The integration of mechanics like Hold and Win occurs in Germany under the strict supervision of the OASIS central exclusion system.
