Gonzo's Quest is an online video slot game for desktop and mobile browsers, released in 2011.[1] Gonzo's Quest was the first platinum game of NetEnt, a global publisher, developer, and host of online casino software and games. The game has been described as "a medium variance slot".[2]
Premise
Gonzo the conquistador arrives at the Peruvian coast in a galleon. He then steals a treasure map and sets in search of El Dorado, the lost city of gold.[3]
The character's looks and name are based on Gonzalo Pizarro, a 16th-century Spanish conquistador and the brother of the more famous Francisco, conqueror of the Inca Empire.
Gameplay
The game uses 3D graphics and a pastel palette. In the gameplay itself, there are eight different symbols in the reels: Fire, Alligator, Fish, Bird, Moon, Snake, Heath, and a wildcard, the Question Mark.
The game has a feature known as "avalanche". Instead of spinning reels, the symbols in Gonzo's Quest fall into the reels. When a winning line is formed, its symbols explode and are replaced by new ones in another avalanche, allowing for the possibility of multiple payouts within a single spin. There are 20 different pay lines offered.[4] The Free Fall feature awards bonus rounds when three or more bonus icons appear. Five such icons result in the top payout.
Virtual Reality
NetEnt announced in February 2017 that they would release a Virtual reality version of Gonzo's Quest.[5]
