Gonzo’s Quest Megaways™ retained all the features of the original gameplay and bolted on some thrilling extras including Earthquakes and the Royal Wheel.
Here is how it works.
Avalanche Wins and Multipliers
Gonzo’s Quest was one of the first really big video slots to use the Avalanche or Tumble Wins mechanic with progressive multipliers which is also the driving force behind much of the thrills and spills in many Megaways™ games like Big Time Gaming’s original Bonanza. So, this slot represents a perfect match up. After each win, watch the winning symbols (except special exclusions explained below) explode off the reels to be replaced by new ones. If more wins are created, the process repeats. And so on until no more wins appear.
At the same time, after each winning avalanche Gonzo’s win multiplier – displayed above the reels – increases to the following amounts:
- Avalanche 1: 1x Multiplier
- Avalanche 2: 2x Multplier
- Avalanche 3: 3x Multiplier
- Avalanche 4 or Higher: 5x Multiplier
And in the free spins round the multiplier values are even higher, from 3x up to 15x.
Earthquakes
Every now and then, at random, the reels will shake like an Earthquake. ALL low value symbols then drop off to be replaced by premium ones, increasing the odds of a big win.
Unbreakable Wilds
Wilds that form part of a win are ‘unbreakable’ – sticky in other words. So, when the avalanche happens and winning symbols explode, wilds stay where they are to help from more wins as the new symbols drop down.
Free Falls
The Free Spins round, called Free Falls, can be triggered by landing 3 or more scatters, represented by the Golden Shields. You’ll start with 9 falls for three scatters, and a further 3 falls for each extra scatter that lands on the triggering spin.
The chances of scoring a win close to the 21,000x top payout are increased by the enhanced multipliers that come in the Avalanche sequences. Plus of course the Unbreakable Wilds are still in action so a combination of those and big multiplier can really boost your wins.
Royal Wheel
When you trigger the free falls round there is a quick gamble feature before it begins. You have a choice to go direct to the bonus round OR spin the Royal Wheel for a chance to earn MORE free falls – but be careful because you can lose them too if the wheel doesn’t land in your favour.
