Gonzo’s Quest Gameplay
Gonzo’s Quest is now over a decade old, but this NetEnt slot has lost none of its appeal. In fact, it has spawned sequels and spin-offs, some of which (such as Gonzo’s Quest: MegaWays) haven’t even been produced by NetEnt, but another provider in parent company Evolution Gaming’s stable, Red Tiger Gaming. This is the slot game that started it all, though.
Gonzo’s Quest is a five-reel, twenty-line slot with an RTP rate of around the 96% mark and medium variance action. It was one of the first slots to use a collapsing reels mechanic, and this was known as an “Avalanche feature” when the game was released. It amounts to the same thing, though.
The reels don’t “spin” in this game. Instead, the symbols represent stone blocks that “fall” onto the reels. If any feature in a win, they crumble to dust and are replaced by new ones that drop down from above, but not before they are added to your prize counter. If you can manage to chain together successive wins, you’ll not only win more but prosper from a progressive multiplier to boot. Managing to land two, three or four wins together will see you snap up 2x, 3x and 5x multipliers on your winnings, respectively. Once no new wins are possible, the Avalanche mode ends, and you return to the base game.
