NetEnt have done it again; taken their fantastic online version of Gonzos Quest and turned it into an instant mobile casino classic. Stunning graphics, brilliant gameplay and a real story behind the game gives the user the ultimate mobile casino experience when playing Gonzos Quest mobile.
In the year 1541, the conquistadors landed in South America looking for signs of life and, more importantly to them, treasure. One of those conquistadors and the hero of the game, Gonzo, was searching the Amazon for the lost city of gold – Eldorado – which gives us the setting for this excellent mobile casino video slot.
The word slot is a bit erroneous too, as it’s the one game out there that doesn’t have spinning reels; instead opting for an Amazonian tribal-style set of carved stones as the playing symbols which ‘avalanche’ rather than spin, making Gonzos Quest mobile completely unique and completely exciting to play on your mobile.
It’s a 5 reel and 3 row video slot with 20 paylines. The paylines can be played at 5 different bet levels and varying coin values. You can bet anywhere between €0.20 – €50 each ‘spin’ meaning there is a game here for all levels of bettor. There is a maximum payout of 2,500 coins which, of course at the maximum coin value is a very decent payout for any mobile casino game player.
There is no bonus game which detracts a little bit overall as the game is so slick and visually stunning that you would expect a bonus game to be just as good and to keep you involved even more. However there are a couple of really nice features that make up for the lack of bonus and they are the avalanche and freefall features.
Stunning graphics, brilliant gameplay and a real story behind the game gives the user the ultimate mobile casino experience.
The avalanche feature is bespoke to this game and really sets it apart. The tribal rock symbols that fall into place make up your varying paylines and if you happen to get 3 or more of the same symbol then you win the amount as displayed in the pay table but these stones will then crumble away and cause an avalanche where new stones will take their place. If another winning line is hit then the same happens again and you keep winning until a round with no winning payline.
The beauty of the avalanche feature is that after each winning payline, when the new stones avalanche in to place, there is a multiplier effect given to your winnings. So the initial payline is the standard 1xpay, the next payline at x2 the winnings, the 3rd payline at x3 the winnings and for 4 or more paylines you get winnings multiplied at x5 the amount!There’s some huge multiplier wins to be had.
The freefall feature is a bit of a play on your standard free spins feature on many other games. If you hit 3 or more of the freefall symbols, a beautiful golden tribal block, on any line you trigger a series of 10 freefalls (free spins). Not only can you win more free spins during this feature but if you hit a winning payline then this will still trigger the avalanche effect. The difference between the normal avalanche and the ones that occur during free spins is that the multiplier effect is even bigger. You will receive x3 your winnings on the first avalanche, and then x6, x9 and x15 respectively.
There is also a wild symbol, the mysterious tribal question mark, and this plays the standard wild role of substituting for other symbols should you need to make a payline.
Overall, the usability, the gameplay and the graphics more than makes up for a lack of bespoke bonus game so why not join our little Spanish friend Gonzo on his quest for a massive payout.
