Gonzos Quest
Gonzo’s Quest is an animated 3D video slot game by NetEnt. It tells the story of a particularly brazen Spanish explorer who sets out on his own to find the lost city of El Dorado. On a technical level, the game’s defining aspect is an Avalanche feature that lets symbols cascade and increase a multiplier that’s applied to every bet line win for that particular spin.
Bet line wins are limited to the highest win per line. That means that you can’t win on the same line multiple times in a spin due to an avalanche, but you can win on multiple bet lines per spin. Bet line wins pay when symbols are in consecutive order from leftmost to right. The game has 20 bet lines, which are all active by default, but you can choose to wager between one to five coins per spin. Coin sizes range from 0.01 to 0.50, and this machine can pay out well in excess of a million coins on a single spin.

Game Theme and Background
While many free online slots hint at a story, Gonzo’s Quest is one of the few slot games that actually deliver one. The intro 3D movie plays a big part because it sets up the tale of Spanish explorers who in 1541 arrive off the coast of Peru in search of gold. Gonzo is aboard that ship but has plans of his own and leaves his shipmates. He dives off the ship and swims ashore by moonlight.
Gonzo has a treasure map with him, a map that provides the route to the legendary city of El Dorado. That’s where you come in. Your mission is to help Gonzo navigate the path to the city and the puzzles and other challenges he encounters along the way. Legend has it that El Dorado actually reveals itself if you hit the jackpot on a bet line with the highest multiplier active.
Special Features
Gonzo’s Quest uses NetEnt’s Avalanche feature, which is similar to the cascading reels feature used in many Las Vegas slots. When a bet line win occurs, the winning symbols disappear, any symbols above drop down and new symbols drop in from the top to fill in the gaps. An added component of the Avalanche feature is that each cascading action causes the multiplier to increase. A fourth avalanche will achieve the maximum x5 multiplier in a standard game. Gonzo’s Quest also has a Free Fall symbol. Any bet line that contains three Free Fall symbols awards 10 free spins. During free spins, the multiplier is automatically higher and can get as high as x15. In addition, the Free Fall feature remains active, so it’s possible to stack free games. Lastly, the game has a standard wild symbol that can stand in for any other symbol besides the Free Fall symbol.
Conclusion
Gonzo’s Quest, which is available at SlotsClub.com, is one of the best online video slot games. NetEnt has created many great slot machines, but this is one of its best offerings because it’s the total package. The theme is fun and immersive and benefits from a charming 3D character. The 3D graphics, 2D art and on-the-reels animations are all top-notch. The music and sound effects are all high-quality and really round out the package while also being diverse enough to not wear on you over time. Most importantly, Gonzo’s Quest is actually fun to play, even in practice mode. The anticipation that comes watching tiles explode and waiting for the new ones to fall into place is good stuff. The game also has some serious payout potential for those who choose to play for real money.
