Gonzo’s Quest
I Smell El Dorado!
The Wombat says: “Ahh, the Gonzo’s Quest slot and the famed El Dorado, the legend of the city of Lost Gold – full of fabulous riches and endless wealth. If I wasn’t busy being the most famous Wombat this side of Darwin, I’d fancy my chances as an explorer myself. Anyway, enough about me…”

Set amid tropical rain forest, meet Gonzo, a cheeky Conquistador inspired by the famous Spanish explorer. He’s a fun and irreverent character who watches over your spins from the side of the screen, occasionally tipping his hat to you if you win big, and encouraging your progress in the game! The animations are great – slots have come a long way since the Tomb Raider Secret of the Sword slot– and that was a sequel!

Like thousands of other explorers from the Spanish Empire, the Gonzo´s Quest slot features the man himself on his way to colonise Latin America, but this intrepid explorer gets sidetracked by the lures of riches, and steals a treasure map that will lead him to mythical Eldorado…
Along with its Inca temples, stone carvings and intricate Mayan relics, the Gonzo’s Quest slot submerges you into the Central American jungle, and gives the player a taste of what those greedy gold hunters were looking for back in the 1500s…
These are beautiful graphics from Net Ent again, as usual- just take a look at the Red Riding Hood slot for another example.
Gonzo´s Quest Slot – Mapping it Out
![Quest Quest](https://www.casinomanual.co.uk/content/uploads/2020/06/Gonzos-Quest-Megaways-slot-base-game-1.jpg)
Now to the play itself: This is a NetEnt classic with 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 pay-line combinations. Plus the slot has a minimum bet of 0.20 and a maximum of 50.00 so there’s something for everyone. Released in 2013, this original game is still one of NetEnt’s most popular! You’ll hear Gonzo muttering away to himself a the side of the game. He gives you a good fist pump if you land a nice win, and gets his map out from time to time (but holds it the wrong way up).
We love the unusual mechanics of the slot – winning symbols disintegrate and fall off the bottom of the screen like a crumbling Mayan tomb! And the “used” symbols are replaced by a new set of blocks (made up of elaborate artefacts) that drop into place from above – these are called Avalanches- it’s like a fancier version of Tetris or Candy Crush. The graphics and action are up there with the likes of the Poltava slot from Elk Studios.
Each subsequent Fall of winning blocks increases the win multiplier from 1x up to 5x – which is a very nice touch- it’s like getting an automatic free spin after every win!
Free Fall Bonus
Then there is the Free Fall bonus round. In the Gonzo’s Quest slot, the golden mask is the Free Fall symbol. Line up 3 or more independent of any line and you’ll get 10 free spins or should we say Falls. The multiplier starts at x3 with the initial avalanche, but goes up to x15 with more than four consecutive free falls! Free Fall symbols must appear in succession, beginning from the first reel on the left.
You can also re-trigger Free Falls with 3 more Free Fall symbols while you are in the bonus.
The Wild symbols are pretty common, and it’s not that unusual to get 4 or even 5 symbols on a pay-line – with more than one winning combination present at the same time here. It’s also worth noting that across the whole game, only the highest win per bet line is paid.
Aside from the cool game play, this wombat loves the storytelling in Gonzo’s Quest, and it’s definitely worth watching the intro animation to find out how sneaky Gonzo found himself in the middle of the jungle in the first place!
Wild Symbols
The Wild Symbol stands in for any other symbol to make up winning combinations. And that includes the Free Falls golden mask symbol which is very unusual for a slot, believe me!
And I’ve played a lot of them.
He´s a Wild Man, that Gonzo. He does a mean slide.
Mobile Gonzo’s Quest
Like many NetEnt games, this slot looks fantastic on a phone or a tablet. We can’t fault the designers on their work- swipe up to go full screen and enjoy the graphics on your mobile!
You can play in either portrait or landscape mode (and that’s not something we can say about all of the mobile slots we play). We prefer playing holding our phone sideways.
Another cool feature is that you can change to left handed mode in the settings. So if you are a leftie, you can play one-handed with your thumb if you want to as the game will move the spin button to the other side of the screen. That’s Swedish design for you!
What Exactly is El Dorado?
El Dorado, Spanish for “the golden one”, was a mythical tribal chief based in modern day Colombia, who, the Spanish conquistadors believed owned so much gold that he covered himself with gold dust as an initiation rite. As we all know, gold was rather popular in the Spanish Empire (to be fair, it is still pretty popular). The legend of El Dorado changed to become a city, a kingdom, and then an empire as time went on.
Many explorers searched in vain over the years for this golden empire including Spanish conquistadors in the late 1500s and even Sir Walter Raleigh. The explorers searched Colombia, Venezuela, and parts of Guyana and northern Brazil for the fabled city and its golden king. They never found it. Gonzo continues the quest!
Conclusion:
Gonzo Quest Megaways Democracy
Gonzo’s Quest is a great all rounder. High quality graphics make this feel more like a video game than an online slot, and the original play separates it from your usual slot games.
This was a game changer when it first came out and it’s spawned many copy cats, but not many match it.
Wombat score: 4/5
Gonzo's FAQs
- What is the Avalanche Feature?
You will see this type of feature on many games these days, but it was the Gonzos Quest slot that started it all back in 2013. Each time you win, the winning symbols are removed, making space for new symbols and potentially new wins.
This continues as long as you keep winning, and the progressive multiplier nudges up one level on every win.
- Can I play the Gonzo´s Quest slot for free?
Yes, you can play all of our free demo slots once you have signed in to Wombat Casino. Just register and the games will be available for you to play in the lobby.
- What is Gonzo muttering on the side there?
We´re not sure, I think he’s got a strong Andalucian accent, I can’t make it out 🙂
Back in 2013, NetEnt tackled the El Dorado legend to create Gonzo’s Quest: The Search For Eldorado. The slot ended up being a big hit not all because of a captivating storyline that saw players accompany a Spanish Explorer named Gonzo on a treasure hunt, but also because of its playability, straightforwardness, and 2500X potential, which was epic at the time.
Fast forward about seven years later, and Red Tiger revamps its parent studio’s creation by rebuilding it with the Big Time Gaming-patented Megaways Engine. If the parent studio part left you wondering what we are talking about, NetEnt recently acquired Red Tiger in an all-cash deal that will come into completion in 2022 when a sum of £23M is topped up to the consideration of £197M paid upfront earlier in 2019 for 100% accession of Red Tiger’s Shares. That might sound like a hefty sum to part with, but remember, this is a deal that brings with it one, a leading online casino supplier renowned for massive engagement jackpots and two, a Megaways™ license, which is being used to revive NetEnt’s classics for the second time here following that rewarding porcine invasion in Piggy Riches Megaways.

Aesthetic, Basic Rules, Math Model, and Paytable
Just like you would expect from a remake coming nearly a decade after the original, Gonzo’s Quest Megaways looks quite different. The reel format upgrade from a 20-payline 5X3 grid to a towering six reel Megaways set up is expected, but there are also major graphics upgrades, instantly noticeable because of the better-looking playing area brought to life by a more animated Gonzo at the side of the grid and falling leaves. For those looking for what’s lifted directly from the original, there is the primordial wall structure, which we thought was complemented nicely by the tranquil standby aural.
After taking in the scene, players must then take care of the pre-spinning essentials with the UI buttons at the bottom of the grid, which does not need much deciphering, to be honest. The only point of concern is the limited 4 unit bet range, which will leave most dedicated gamblers thinking that an error must have been made here. On each spin, up to seven symbols land on each reel, potentially creating up to 117649 ways to win for that round. The number of ways utilized on every round is displayed at the top of the grid just below the game’s title.
As for the math model, Gonzo’s Quest Megaways throws out different stats from the original, starting with an RTP rating that is a few notches down, but in the safe range nonetheless. Running alongside this is a high volatility setting, which though rated 5/5 doesn’t make this a strict game. Wins came along frequently during our test run, with the Avalanche™ Mechanic boosting them to a great extent.

Moving on to the paytable, the symbols here are carryovers from the original except for two, with mediocre rewards on a single win line. That’s, however, no biggie here as the goal is to win a big number of the available win ways. Having the highest-paying engraving occupy all the available ways will award the maximum win on a single spin, which is a whopping 20972.4 times the bet!
Avalanche™ Mechanic
One of the greatest things about the original Gonzo’s Quest was that it was the first-ever slot to use win boosting avalanches in a typical reel format. With a tip of the hat, the remake utilizes the same to cause all winning symbols to disappear to leave room for more symbols to gravitate from the top. In theory, this has the potential to go on infinitely, with the wins causing the first, second, third, and fourth “disappearance” moving forward being subjected to an X1, X2, X3, and X4 booster multiplier, just like in the original game.
Unbreakable Wilds
Red Tiger introduces unbreakable wilds to make the gameplay even more exciting. As the name suggests, the substituting wild symbols, which take the shape of a question mark, will not disappear after helping to complete a winning combination. This will increase the chances of landing a win on the following tumble.
Important to note, wilds can take the place of the scatters to help trigger the bonus round. Also, only two wilds can be present on the reels at the same time.
Earthquakes
Earthquakes are the other new feature punters should expect to see introduced in the remake. When active, these destroy all low-pays to allow the high-pays to gravitate into position and potentially form a win.
Bonus Round
Just like in the first game, at least three golden scatters are needed to trigger the Free Falls/Free Spins. Each scatter symbol present during the triggering round awards 3 spins on the house, where the cascades award higher win booster multipliers of X3, X6, X9, and X15 for the first, second, third, and fourth avalanche. Though highly improbable, additional Free Falls can be triggered by landing scatters during a Free Spin.
Gonzo’s Quest Megaways™- Our Verdict
Gonzo’s Quest Megaways proves yet again how useful of an asset the developers at Red Tiger will be to NetEnt moving forward. They leave no stone unturned here, creating an eye-pleasing, decent-potential game that is guaranteed a spot in the slots hall of fame.
