Gonzo’s Quest is one of the most recognizable video slots ever developed by NetEnt and is a fave for millions of gamblers across the globe. Betting options make the game very appealing to low-rollers and mid-stake players as a total bet is customized in a range from $0.2 to $50 per spin. The storyline behind the game goes back to the Spanish conquest of America. Gonzo, a brave conquistador, came ashore somewhere in South America to try to find hidden treasures. He is standing near the reels and dances every time you get a win. The slot has 20 fixed paylines running across 5 reels and 3 rows of symbols, however, the reels do not spin as they do in other slot machines; instead, they fall onto the screen.

The maximum win as shown in the paytable is 2500 coins (up to $6250) but the Avalanche feature that starts after every winning round boosts your chances for even higher award.

Bonus features

Gonzo’s Quest is the first video slot to introduce the NetEnt’s staple game mechanics known as the Avalanche, meaning that all symbols that are part of a winning combination explode and disappear leaving space for new symbols that fall down in a new avalanche filling the gaps. The avalanches continue until there are no new combinations. Further to this, every avalanche increases a win multiplier value starting at x1 and reaching the maximum of x5 (the Multiplier Meter is displayed at the top right corner of the game screen).

There is also a Free Fall symbol that activates 10 retriggerable Free Falls if three of them land successively from the utmost left reel, not necessarily on a payline. During the free falls, the maximum multiplier in the Avalanche feature may surge up to x15.

A wild (the Question Mark block) substitutes for all normal symbols and helps complete winning combinations both in a main game and free falls.
