GONZO’S QUEST MEGAWAYS™ PAYTABLE

For those that don’t know, the original game Gonzo’s Quest has undergone a Megaways™ makeover for the release of this slot. Of course the Megaways™ engine is under license from Big Time Gaming, but it as given NetEnt the chance to give this classic slot a new lease of life, whilst maintaining its adventure and treasure hunting theme.

The paytable on Gonzo’s Quest Megaways™ is made up of a collection of tribal masks which has a lower paying category and a higher paying category. At the bottom end of the scale you will be awarded 0.1x for a win, whilst the top paying mask on the game will pay 15x for a 6 of kind win.

Spinning the reels and getting into the action can take place for as little €0.10 a spin, with the max stake on Gonzo’s Quest Megaways™ coming in at €4. It’s quite refreshing to see a slot that doesn’t exceed a €5 stake limit, which makes the game accessible to pretty much all players.

GONZO’S QUEST MEGAWAYS™ FEATURES AVALANCHE REELS

Gonzo’s Quest Megaways™ features the highly popular Avalanche Reels, which is also known as cascading reels. This slot mechanic continues to be an integral part of the Megaways™ niche, with it’s unique ability to offer the player more chances to win from their initial spin.

When it’s in action you will witness symbols that are part of winning combos explode and leave empty spaces on the reels. These spaces then cause a reel avalanche with all symbols above them dropping down to fill the gaps. New symbols will then drop down from above to any new spaces that have been created, with this continuing until no further winning connections can be made.

Gonzo’s Quest Megaways Base Game

The base game can keep you thoroughly entertained on Gonzo’s Quest Megaways™, with there being a few key factors responsible for this which we will now look at in further detail.

  • Advancing winning multiplier – At the top right hand side of the slot you will see the multiplier meter that has values of x1, x2, x3 and x5. An initial win will be awarded at x1, with each consecutive win thereafter moving one position up the multiplier meter.
  • Earthquake modifier – When this modifier triggers the slot will begin to shake and it will remove all low value symbols from the reels. Any spaces that have been left behind will see only high value symbols avalanche in from above.
  • Wild Symbol – A nice little addition to the Megaways™ version of this game is that the wild symbol will not disappear when it is part of a win. It will remain in place and help you to create further winning connections for bigger wins, or a chance of the feature. It should be noted that only two wild symbols can be in play at any one time

Gonzo’s Quest Megaways Free Spin Feature

COMBINATIONS OF WILDS AND SCATTERS CAN TRIGGER THE FREE SPIN FEATURE ON GONZO’S QUEST MEGAWAYS™

Triggering the feature on Gonzo’s Quest Megaways™ will require you to land either 3 or more scatters on a winning payline, or a combination of 3 or more scatters and wilds on a winning payline. A basic 3 scatter trigger will award you with 9 free spins, with each additional scatter thereafter adding a further 3 spins. The chance to gamble your free spins for more via the gamble wheel is presented to you, but this can be a risky proposition, so make your choice wisely.

As the free spin bonus begins you will note that the increasing multiplier values are now higher than in the base game. Initial wins will be awarded at x3, with each consecutive win thereafter working its way up the multiplier chain of x6, x9 and the maximum x15.

Just as you will have already encountered in the base game, the unbreakable wild and earthquake modifier are both present during the free spins, which can help to produce epic wins! Additional free spins can be awarded through the scatter symbols once again landing on a winning payline

Gonzo’s Quest Megaways Slot Review Final Thoughts

The original slot Gonzo’s Quest still remains popular among players till this day. So once NetEnt acquired Red Tiger Gaming and with it their Megaways™ licence, it made perfect sense to upgrade this classic game to the Megaways™ engine and give players a further treat.

This is definitely one of the best Megaways™ slots that we have played this year. The graphics and gameplay are flawless, whilst the entertainment levels throughout are high. Whether this turns out to be like some of the other games that Red Tiger have made, whereby the bonus is hard to achieve, only time will tell. But from our first play and look we are very impressed with Gonzo’s Quest Megaways™, and see it being one of the top games to be made within the Megaways™ niche.
