Gonzo's Quest Slot Review

[ArvindDass]

The Gonzo's Quest online slot from NetEnt appeared in 2011 and instantly became a hit in online casinos, thanks to the original Avalanche feature, or avalanche. In fact, these are respins that are triggered after any prize chain is completed. Winning symbols disappear from the reels and others fall in their place. The idea was then picked up by other developers, and cascading rotations are still popular today.
                      
  

About the slot.

This slot consists of five  reels and three  rows of symbols. Winning combinations are built from left to right along 20 fixed lines. Chains of three or more icons are paid. Value of the coin in the range from 0.01 to 0.5 credits which player has to select. On each line, you can bet from one to five coins, so the minimum cost of a spin is only 0.2 credits, and the maximum reaches 50 units in the casino currency. The return rate of the slot (RTP) over long distances is 95.97%. You can explore all the features of the device in demo mode, which allows you to play the Gonzo's Quest slot machine for free and without registration. The slot is not designed to be played offline, and it cannot be downloaded, but the game is adapted for all types of devices, so it runs in full screen mode on PCs, smartphones and tablets. Thanks to them, the game, released in the early 2010s, still looks fresh and modern. 
 

Symbols

Gonzo finds himself at the foot of the golden pyramid of the Incas. The path to it is blocked by a portal with stone and metal plates - this is the playing field. The character himself is constantly on the screen to the left of the reels. He watches the blocks fall and cheers for each winning combination. The gameplay is accompanied by interesting sound effects: ethnic Indian music, the sound of stones, the sound of a waterfall and the singing of birds. On the slabs that block the passage to Eldorado, Inca idols are depicted - these are the standard symbols of the apparatus. The images of deities are painted in different colors, the most valuable values are golden elements.

     

Bonus game

The bonus round starts when three scatters appear on the reels. The signs must line up on the active line - this is a prerequisite for the activation of freesins. After that, the stone blocks move apart and Gonzo heads straight for the golden pyramid. The main character finds himself in the mythical city of El Dorado. The bonus game consists of 10 free spins, during which the avalanche feature is still used, triggering respins when making combos. But higher multipliers are applied to the payouts than in the regular game. The first successful combo is paid with a x3 multiplier, the second - x6, the third - x9, and the fourth and subsequent - x15. If three more scatters appear during the game, the series of free spins will be repeated. The frequency of launching the bonus round is once per 100-150 spins.

Pros:

1. avalanche feature with multipliers up to x5 in standard game

2. in a series of free spins, the additional multiplier increases to x15

3. 3D graphics and high-quality animation 

Cons:

1. no risk game

2. no themed bonus round

3. a small amount of free spins
