Gonzo's Quest Slot

Theme, Soundtrack and Symbols

Gonzo is a Spanish conquistador who is in search of the riches hidden in the legendary lost city of Eldorado, supposedly situated in the Amazonian basin of South America. Set in the depths of the vegetation of the rainforest, Gonzo finds himself at a puzzle wall separating him from his goal. Roll the reels to tumble the wall down, for the city is in sight. Help him find a way through and be rewarded for your efforts.

The clever animations of this online slot game are truly captivating. Just hold up on spinning for a few seconds and watch as Gonzo becomes a little impatient. Take a break for a little longer, and he will whip out his map to ensure he is still on course for rewards.

The sounds of the forest draw you into the game. You can hear the forest is alive with bird chatter, insect noises and the odd tribal drum. Spin the reels and catch the wisp of a woodwind instrument. It will have you questioning whether you are alone or if somebody is perhaps watching you from within the dense brush.

The game is enhanced by the tribal symbols on display. The higher-value icons are made up of various front-facing masks on different colour stones, while the lower-value symbols are sideward-facing masks of animals. Each of these constructs the reel wall before you.

There are two special symbols. These are the 'Question Mark' Wild that substitutes for all standard game symbols, and the Free Fall Bonus symbol that triggers the main feature when landed in threes.

Game Mechanics

Gonzo's Quest is played over 5 reels and 20 useful pay lines. The RTP is a decent 96%, and the medium game variance means that there is a good balance between the frequency of spins that will land and the size of those wins. And you don't even need to break the bank to play, as the machine takes total wagers of between 0.20 and 50 coins per spin.

If you want to multi-task while playing, make use of NetEnt's useful Autospin feature, that can spin the rollers automatically for you between 10 and 1,000 times. Just make sure that you settle for a suitable wager before setting this feature.

Special Features

The title comes with a nice balance of special features that keep the game interesting:

Tumbling Reels

After a win is landed, the tiles that were involved in the combination will disintegrate, granting you the view of the lost city before you. But, within seconds, more blocks will tumble down from above to fill their spaces again, effectively giving you an extra chance at making another win. For each consecutive spin thereafter, the same process will happen up to a maximum of four times. With each tumble the win multiplier will increase:

• Tumble 1 – 1x multiplier;
• Tumble 2 – 2x multiplier;
• Tumble 3 – 3x multiplier;
• Tumble 4 – 5x multiplier.

Free Falls

This feature is effectively a free spin bonus round. You can trigger it by landing 3 Free Fall symbols along a single pay line. This will reward you with 10 free spins, with the tumble feature still intact. The multiplier for each consecutive tumble increases in this bonus round, to provide far more lucrative wins.

• Tumble 1 – 3x multiplier;
• Tumble 2 – 6x multiplier;
• Tumble 3 – 9x multiplier;
• Tumble 4 – 15x multiplier.

Play 'On The Go'

As with many of NetEnt latest game solutions, Gonzo's Quest is available in Touch interface. The game is designed for easier control on your Android or iOS device, with the controls shifted around to maximise finger controls. The visuals remain sharp, and the sounds stay intact, so you can enjoy the full package 'on the go' wherever and whenever you want, provided there is an internet connection.
