4.5
NetEnt • RTP 95.97% • Medium Volatility
Game Overview
Gonzo's Quest was revolutionary when NetEnt released it — the first slot to feature Avalanche reels (cascading wins) that have since become an industry standard. Follow the Spanish conquistador Gonzo through ancient Mayan ruins on a 5×3 grid with 20 paylines. Consecutive avalanche wins increase your multiplier up to 5x in the base game and 15x during free falls.
