Gonzo’s Quest Megaways

Gonzo's Quest Megaways™ is a video slot sequel to the popular Gonzo's Quest game, developed by Red Tiger Gaming (acquired by NetEnt) and released in July 2020. It retains the same Aztec/Mayan adventure theme, featuring Gonzo the conquistador on a quest to find the lost city of El Dorado and its hidden treasures.

Gameplay Mechanics:

Gonzo's Quest Megaways™ utilizes the Megaways™ mechanic, offering a dynamic reel setup with 6 reels and a varying number of rows (2 to 7) on each reel. This creates a potential for up to 117,649 ways to win on each spin. Winning symbols disappear from the reels, triggering an Avalanche™ Feature. New symbols tumble down to fill the empty spaces, creating the chance for consecutive wins with a progressively increasing Avalanche Multiplier (up to 5x in the base game).

Bonus Features:

• Avalanche™ Feature: As mentioned earlier, winning symbols disappear and are replaced by new symbols falling from above. This cascading effect continues until no new winning combinations appear.
• Avalanche™ Multiplier: With each Avalanche, the multiplier for subsequent wins in the same spin increases. In the base game, the multiplier starts at 1x and goes up to 5x for the fourth consecutive Avalanche and above.
• Earthquake Feature: This random event triggers a screen shake, causing all low-paying symbols (represented by the four stone faces with animal features) to disappear. New symbols fall down to fill the empty spaces, offering the potential for high-value symbol combinations.
• Unbreakable Wilds: Up to two Wild symbols (golden question marks) can appear on the reels simultaneously, one on reels 1-3 and another on reels 4-6. These Wilds substitute for all paying symbols and Free Fall symbols (see below). Unlike regular symbols, Unbreakable Wilds remain on the reels throughout the Avalanche, increasing the chances of forming winning combinations.
• Free Spins: Landing 3 or more Free Fall symbols (golden shield with a Mayan mask) triggers the Free Spins bonus round. The number of awarded Free Spins depends on the triggering symbols (3 symbols = 9 Free Spins, with additional spins granted for each extra symbol or Wild symbol involved). During Free Spins, the Avalanche Multiplier starts at a higher value (3x) and can climb even higher (up to 15x) with consecutive Avalanches. Free Spins can be retriggered by landing additional Free Fall symbols during the bonus round.

Slot Symbols:

The slot features a collection of 9 symbols:

• High-Paying Symbols: Represented by five colorful carved stone blocks with various Mayan masks.
• Low-Paying Symbols: Represented by four stone blocks with animal features (green serpent, blue monkey, purple toucan, and orange alligator).
• Wild Symbol: Golden question mark symbol substitutes for all paying symbols and Free Fall symbols.
• Scatter Symbol (Free Fall Symbol): Golden shield with a Mayan mask triggers the Free Spins bonus round.
