Gonzo’s Quest

If you take pride as being the ‘gamer of gamers,’ you would have surely heard of Gonzo’s Quest by NetEnt. If not, then do not call yourself a gamer. Yes, the game is everywhere on this planet Earth and beyond. Probably, even in the outer space, you will find a solitary Martian betting on the 20 lines game. Jokes apart, coming back to Gonzo’s Quest, you will find this 5-reel and 3-row game is set in the wilderness of Eldorado. Here again, there is a doubt on whether it is Eldorado or an ancient Aztec or Mayan civilization that Gonzo’s looking for.

There is a storyline underlying Gonzo’s Quest that makes it as interesting as nothing less than the adventures of Indiana Jones. Well, is Gonzo as handsome as the whip-lashing swashbuckling Jones, then the answer is no.

Still Gonzo has the chutzpah to go on a treasure trail and reaches this island, purportedly Eldorado. There he encounters several obstacles and reaches this cave/ temple. What takes the excitement a notch up is the presence of several unique features from Avalanche Multipliers to Free Falls.

Graphics & Symbols

Once the reels open, we see a stout Gonzo stretching and standing by the reels that seem to be set amid the wilderness. He makes some sounds now and then to show you that he is very much watching every breath you take and every move you make.

He is harmless and does not do much besides yawning, stretching as if he is whiling his time till you finish spinning the reels. Did we mention that he carries a map, presumably of this island? Will he get to his treasure or take you through the spinning of the reels is what you find as you spin.

The reels have some of the strange carvings of faces and they form the reel. NetEnt has raked in big business because of the popularity and we have to credit their design.

The background music is simple of the wilderness, where you can hear the birds like the woodpecker, and a few other tropical ones. There is a totem pole by the side of the reel, and we assume it is the reason for us to wonder about the location of this game.

We see the carved faces on the reels as symbols. They pay quite well and this is the first big thing you will notice here.

We have the Free Fall symbol, which is a carved gold coin and this plays the role of a traditional Scatter. Therefore, these Free Fall symbols activate 10 Free Falls or Free Spins if you land 3 in a row. They must, however, fall consecutively on reels from the leftmost side.

You will win additional Free Falls during this feature.

Next is the question mark in gold carved in a silver tablet. It substitutes for all the symbols and its function ends there.

Next are the assortment of face carvings and each in a different color. These look like Goblins or some creature from the other world. So, the blue-colored mask or face carving fetches the highest. It pays £250 if you land 5 in a row. Then comes the green one, which pays £100 if you land 5 in a row and then the yellow one, paying £50 followed by the purple one offering a £20.

The next one is the brown, followed by a reddish-brown, and a pale aqua blue-colored face carving paying nominal amounts. These symbols have their roles to play during the Avalanche Feature when their multiplier rewards go up with every Avalanche fall.

The RTP you can expect in the game is 95.97% when you bet a maximum of £50. The jackpot to take home is impressive too and still, we will say this is not why Gonzo’s Quest is such a big draw. You are free to select around 1000 spins for Autoplay mode.

What makes the game so catchy worldwide besides the payout it offers of 2500x bets – let’s check more about the mechanics in detail.

Bonus Features

Avalanche Multipliers

This is a unique feature where an avalanche happens and the symbols cascade down the screen. As they tumble down, they form winning combinations and they explode, allowing for new symbols to take their place. More of these winning combinations lead to more Avalanches.

Remember, there is a chance to increase the multiplier by one till it reaches a maximum of 5x. If there is a no-win in the spin, the reels will set the multiplier to default 1 again and you just play to get more Avalanches to increase the same.

Sounds great right?

Yes, we too agree, and this is the reason for a big success of the game. Now let us check out more in detail about the Avalanche Multipliers and how they form.

On the first avalanche, you get an x1 multiplier and x3 worth of free falls multiplier. The second avalanche will give you an x2 multiplier and x6 free falls multiplier. The third one will give you x3 multiplier and x9 free falls multiplier. Four or more avalanches will give you x5 multipliers and x15 of free fall multipliers. These multipliers will reflect on the top of the game screen for you to check.
