Gonzo’s Quest Evolution Gaming

Gonzo’s Quest is Evolution’s flagship slot, and for good reason! It has been around since 2013 and remains one of the most popular slot games in the industry. The game has a unique theme based on the life of Gonzalo Pizarro, a Spanish explorer who was searching for the lost city of El Dorado. The game uses a classic five-reel, three-row layout and uses high-quality 3D graphics and animations to create an immersive gaming experience. The game also features an innovative avalanche feature, which adds buckets to the thrill.

Game composition

Gonzo’s Quest is a five-reel slot game with three rows and 20 paylines. The symbols are mostly made up of various stone blocks and figures, with some special symbols, such as the golden mask. All of the symbols have their own payout values, and the higher-value symbols will pay out more when they form a winning combination. The game also features a wild symbol, which is the golden mask, and a scatter symbol, which is the Free Fall symbol. The wild symbol can be used to substitute for any other symbol in the game, except for the scatter symbol.

Gameplay

The aim of the game, as with other slots, is to spin the reels and form as many winning combinations as possible. You can adjust the coin size and the number of coins you wish to bet on each spin. The player can also choose to ‘max bet’, which will automatically bet the maximum number of coins on each spin. Once the player has placed their bet, they can spin the reels and hope for a winning combination.

Features

Gonzo’s Quest features an innovative avalanche feature, which substitutes the traditional spinning reels. Instead of the reels spinning and stopping, the symbols fall from the top of the screen, similar to a cascading waterfall. When a winning combination is formed, the symbols that make up the combination will disappear and be replaced with new symbols, giving the player the chance to make additional winning combinations. The avalanche feature can trigger up to a 5x multiplier, which can drastically increase the player’s winnings.

Bonuses

Gonzo’s Quest also features a Free Fall bonus game, which is triggered when you land three or more Free Fall symbols on the reels. If this happens, you will be taken to a new screen with a different set of symbols and a different multiplier, where you then have a chance to make more winning combinations, with the potential for more winnings.

Placing bets

To get started on Gonzo’s Quest, decide how much you wish to bet on each spin. You can adjust coin size and number of coins to bet on each spin; you can also choose ‘max bet’, which will automatically bet the maximum number of coins on each spin.

Strategies and tips

As a mid-high volatility game, playing Gonzo’s Quest requires a combination of caution and risk. The best strategy for this game is to set a bankroll budget and stick to it. The mid-high volatility of Gonzo’s Quest means that, while large payouts are possible, they don’t happen often. Consequently, it is wise to proceed with caution and bet smaller amounts or on lower paylines to begin.

Gonzo’s Quest has a relatively high payout rate, with an RTP of 96%. The highest-paying symbols in the game are the golden mask and the stone blocks, which can pay out up to 15x and 6x respectively. The lower-paying symbols are the various figures, which pay out up to 4x. The maximum jackpot in the game is 5000 coins, which is triggered when you land five golden masks on the reels.
