Gonzo’s Quest
Gonzo’s Quest is a hugely popular slot from NetEnt that’s playable across a wide range of devices including desktops and mobiles. The game can be played with a great variety of bets so that budget players and high rollers alike can enjoy this delightfully adventurous slot. One of the standout features from this game though, is the Avalanche reels. This is an innovative feature that sees winning symbol combinations removed from the reels to make room for new symbols. The additional symbols can fall into their places giving you the possibility of scoring additional wins without spinning again.
Theme and background of Gonzo´s Quest
One of the standouts of this slot is the graphics. The reels are set to a lush jungle background while the reels themselves look like ancient Mayan pillars. Gonzo himself leans casually against the reels – watch him closely though, for if you get a win, he does a little dance. The general premise behind this slot is the Spanish conquistadors searching for the Gold of Eldorado. Help Gonzo on his quest and you might find some treasure too. All of the symbols on the reels follow this theme and feature a variety of animals all carefully designed in a Mayan style and displayed on stone tablet-shaped squares. There are also fire, moon and question mark symbols as bonuses.
Layout and functionality of Gonzo’s Quest
Gonzo’s Quest follows the standard 5×5 reel setup. The paylines only number 20, which is not excessive, but still a good amount. They only pay left to right though. When you’re playing Gonzo’s Quest, you need to pay attention to the extra features available. There’s the aforementioned Avalanche feature, but also an Avalanche Multipliers feature where, the more avalanches you trigger, the higher your multiplier for each subsequent win will actually be. Landing the scatter triggers the Free Fall, which is essentially a series of free spins, which will also have multipliers.
Our opinion of Gonzo’s Quest
Gonzo’s Quest was actually released in 2011, but you wouldn’t know it when you look at both the graphics and the longevity this NetEnt game has enjoyed. The fact that it brought the Avalanche feature into play means that it’s still the benchmark as far as that feature is concerned. Apart from that, the game offers top quality gameplay, the potential for some big wins and of course those excellent graphics. With the chances of getting up to 37500x your stake thanks to the 15x multiplier you can get when the Free Falls feature is in play, this is a slot well worth taking for a spin. We highly recommend Gonzo’s Quest be it via your mobile or desktop.
Other games you might like if you enjoyed Gonzo’s Quest
If you’re looking for more in the way of Avalanche features, then another great option is Asgardian Stones – also from NetEnt. This game has similarly stunning graphics but is based on the Norse gods. It offers the Avalanche feature as well, with some added bonuses in the form of Colossal symbols landing on the reels which can take up many spaces on the reels and therefore give you many more wins. If you want to play other slots but with a Mayan theme then you can check out Mayan Gods or Lost Treasure.
