About Gonzo's Quest

Gonzo's Quest is a NetEnt video slot released in 2011 and set on a conquistador's search for a lost city. Its defining idea is the Avalanche: instead of reels spinning, carved stone blocks fall into a five-reel, twenty-payline grid, and any blocks that form a winning combination shatter so that new ones drop into the gap. That allows a single paid round to chain several wins together. Consecutive avalanches within the same round raise a win multiplier step by step, and the multiplier ladder used in the Free Falls bonus round is higher than the one used in the base game. Free Falls is triggered by landing Golden symbols on adjacent reels. The game's animated guide, the tumbling masonry and the Inca-inspired symbols made it one of the most recognisable slots of its era, and the avalanche mechanic it popularised is now standard across the industry. Volatility is medium. The paytable, the multiplier steps, the feature rules and the RTP configured by your operator are all in the game's own information panel.
