Gonzo's Quest Megaways Slot Features

The Gonzo's Quest Megaways slot has a total of 6 Bonus Features. There are the Earthquake Feature, Avalanches, Multipliers, unbreakable Wilds, which remain in play after a win. The game is all about the Free Fall Feature, where players get to gamble for more Free Spins and benefit from Multipliers of up to 15x their stake. Let's take a look at the Bonus Features:

Avalanche Feature

The original Gonzo's Quest was the first to use NetEnt's Avalanche feature, and as a result, Gonzo's Quest Megaways also uses this feature which is a bonus. During this feature, symbols fall into place instead of spinning, and the winning symbols explode and disappear, allowing space for an Avalanche of new symbols. These symbols give players another chance at winning, and the feature continues until no more wins occur.

Avalanche Multiplier Feature

With every Avalanche, the Avalanche Multiplier feature comes into play. The Multipliers get increased each time an Avalanche occurs, and they can reach as high as 5x. Here is the paytable for the Avalanche Multipliers-

• 1^st Avalanche 1x Multiplier
• 2^nd Avalanche 2x Multiplier
• 3^rd Avalanche 3x Multiplier
• 4^th Avalanche 5x Multiplier

Should players not get winning spins, the Multiplier resets back to 1x.

Unbreakable Wilds Feature

During the Earthquake, feature players need to look for the game Wild symbol, the question mark. As well as substituting for all symbols, 2 Wilds can land on the reels on the same spin (1 Wild for the first 3 reels and the second Wild for the second three reels). When the Unbreakable Wild is part of a win, the wilds do not break or explode; instead, they remain on the reels for more wins.

Earthquake Feature

The Earthquake Feature is unique and increases the game's allure. During this feature, the game can randomly start to shake, destroying all the low-value symbols, and only high-value symbols replace them in the following Respins. The Free Fall Feature gets triggered when players land three or more Gold Coins, Scatter symbols. Alternatively, they can land two Scatters and a Wild to trigger the feature. Each symbol participated in a win and gives players 3 Free Spins. This means triggering the feature with 3 Scatters will see you receive 9 Free Spins in total. The Royal Wheel Feature then appears. Here players get to choose to play with the number of Free Spins awarded initially or gamble for more Free Spins where you may get as many as between 4-25 extra Free Spins. Landing Free Fall Scatters during this feature means there is no limit to how many Free Spins you ultimately receive. Once the feature ends, players return to base, and the triggering features get destroyed, allowing you the chance of forming a winning combination, and the Multiplier from your last Free Spin gets applied on all avalanches.

The Verdict

Gonzo's Quest Megaways is similar to the original game in many ways as it uses the Avalanche feature, Free Falls and Multipliers; however, there are a few added extras. The Megaways is the first taking this game to a whole new level, and the addition of the Earthquake feature plus the Unbreakable Wilds all leading to some decent wins. The max win potential of 21000x your stake is another drawcard. In a nutshell, NetEnt and Red Tiger Gaming have succeeded in delivering a superb slot sure to become a cult hit.
