Fans of the Netent hit slot Gonzo’s Quest will be pleased with this sequel by Red Tiger, now featuring the popular megaways mechanic. Red Tiger has, much in the same way as they did with Netent’s Piggy Riches, stayed true to the original while giving the slot some fresh new features. In this review we will be taking a look at various aspects of Gonzo’s Quest Megaways to see whether it receives our official stamp of approval.
Gonzo’s Quest Megaways features pretty much the same design and theme found in the original slot. You will find the ruins of an ancient civilization in the middle of a dense jungle rainforest. This sets the scene where Gonzo will embark on his adventure in search of secret treasures. The symbols and soundtrack all fit into this theme perfectly and sets the tone for some heart racing action.
The RTP percentage is set at 96%, while it is considered a medium to high volatility slot. You will find a 6 reel set up and thanks to the megaways mechanic there are a possible 117,649 possible ways to win when all symbols are in play. Bets are placed from between 10 cents up to a maxim of 10 dollars per spin. If you happen to be super lucky you can expect a max payout of 21000 times your stake!
Keeping with the Mayan theme the symbols you will find are various sculptures depicting prominent figures from that time. Your low paying symbols are the bird, snake, crocodile and fish symbols. Your higher paying symbols are the different Mayan masks, where the most lucrative of the lot will pay out 15 times your stake for landing 6 on a winning combination.
Gonzo’s Quest Megaways features both wild and scatter as the slots bonus symbols. The question mark symbol is the wild and can take the shape of any other symbol on the reels to create winning combinations. The scatter symbol is the gold coin and is used to trigger the free fall feature (more on that later).
Gonzo’s Quest Megaways is loaded with bonus features, and each one brings with it some cool ways to win.
The Avalanche feature, which was first introduced by Netent, features again in the sequel. This feature involves symbols used in a winning combination exploding while new symbols fall into their place. The feature continues until no new combinations are made. The cool thing is that each time you trigger an avalanche the Avalanche multiplier increases. On the 4th Avalanche all wins are multiplied by 5x and will be applied until no more avalanches are made.
The unbreakable wild feature is featured in Gonzo’s Quest Megaways. This bonus feature activates when a wild form forms part of a winning combination. The wild is unbreakable and will remain on the reels despite the other symbols falling away!
The earthquake bonus feature activates randomly and will eliminate all low paying symbols on the reels, replacing them with high paying symbols.
The scatter symbol is the gold coin, and when you land three or more you will activate the Free Fall feature. The winning combination made using 3 scatter symbols will result in 3 free spins per participating symbol.
Next up we have the wheel feature which will give you the chance to increase the number of free spins awarded. If you are lucky you could see your free spins double or even triple thanks to this feature.
Gonzo’s Quest was a truly remarkable slot for its time and featured unique features that nobody had seen before. Red Tiger has simply added a few new features to really take this slot to the next level. Besides the megaways mechanic, we now have unbreakable wilds and an earthquake feature that we really love, and we are sure you will too. With a potential max win of 21000x your stake there is more than enough reason to give Gonzo’s Quest Megaways a spin!
