It's nice to come across a slot that isn't afraid to throw out the rule book
It's hard
to appreciate just how differently Gonzo's Quest plays out compared to other 5 reel
video slots unless you've played it. Sure, there are some familiar elements - it's
still a slot machine after all - but the avalanche approach is a welcome change to the
rolling reels in slots titles still being released today.
Forget seeing symbols
spinning and locking into place. With Gonzo's quest online slot the 'reels' are stacked
blocks, which drop down each time you press the spin button. If you hit a payline
(there are 20 fixed ones) the blocks explode, everything shifts down, and new ones fill
the gaps. Every time this occurs you receive a multiplier, up to 5x the value of your
winning spin, so even in Gonzo Quest's base game there's serious money to be
made.
Mayan symbols dictate how much you stand to win with each spin
The Gonzo's Quest
slot is based on the historical explorer Gonzalo Pizzaro, who set off in search of
Eldorado's lost gold. The symbols in the game are those you'd commonly find associated
with Mayan mythology, from snakes, spirits and eagles to divine sacred gods, the most
high value of all symbols.
There's no shortage of multipliers and free spins in this
epic action slot
As well as the awesome avalanche multipliers our team discovered in
their Gonzo's Quest review, there's also the possibility of triggering a free spins
bonus feature when you land 3 of the gold Free Fall symbols on a payline.
When this
occurs, you'll get 10 instant free spins, which will play out automatically
back-to-back. With every avalanche that occurs you can build up your multipliers again,
as well as landing more Free Fall symbols. Hit 4 or more avalanches in this mode and
you'll receive ax15 multiplier on your highest winning payline.
Wilds Substitute any
symbols to complete winning paylines
When Wilds crop up in the Gonzo's Quest online
slot you can complete any gaps to form a winning payline. These symbols start out as a
silver emblem bearing a gold question mark, but you'll see them magically change before
your eyes to replace whatever symbol it is you're missing.
Wilds can replace any other
symbol in the game - even Free Falls.
Mobile as well as desktop friendly
Gonzo's Quest
is one of the more entertaining real money 3D slots we've played, so you could be
forgiven for thinking this rules out mobile gaming. But you'd be wrong.
Despite its
excellent graphics and unique avalanche feature, the Gonzo's Quest slot is still
compatible with tablet and smartphone devices across multiple iOS and Android
platforms. And performed well under scrutiny from our team who tested out the
compatibility with Android and iPhone devices of all generations to bring you this
Gonzo's Quest review.
A triumph in modern video slots - one for other developers to aim
for
Gonzo's Quest is one of those rare gems in online casino gaming, a video slot that
still has the ability to surprise you. We can't tell you how refreshing it is to play a
game that challenges the status quo and presents a different way of doing things.
The
avalanche feature we discovered while conducting this Gonzo's Quest slot review is
definitely one we'd like to see more of. In our opinion it raises the bar for other
game developers to push the boundaries when it comes to slot machine design.
