With 3 bonus features, the Gonzo’s Quest online slot is quite simple. That said, it was the first game to introduce Avalanches which can lead to successive wins and increasing multipliers. In the free spins, the multipliers get bigger (up to 15x).
Avalanche
Gonzo’s Quest is an iconic slot game as it was the first ever slot to use the Avalanche feature. When you land a winning combination, the winning symbols explode and are removed from the reels. With the remaining symbols falling to the empty positions, new symbols fall from above to occupy the new empty positions.
This can lead to another winning combination. Avalanches continue as long as you get wins. For reference, Avalanches are known as Cascading Wins, Tumbles or Cascades in other slots, especially Megaways slot games.
Avalanche Multipliers
With every Avalanche, the Avalanche Multipliers feature is triggered. Beginning with a 1x multiplier, each Avalanche/winning combination will see the multiplier increase up to 5x.
If you don’t land a win, the multiplier resets to 1x. You can track your progress with the multiplier meter above the reels. Below are the multipliers on offer as well as your chances of winning with each Avalanche:
Avalanche | Multiplier | Chance of Winning |
1st | 1x | 12.50% |
2nd | 2x | 3.10% |
3rd | 3x | 0.50% |
4th | 5x | 0.03% |
Free Falls
The action in Gonzo’s Quest heats up in the Free Falls feature. It’s triggered when you land the Scatter symbol on reels 1, 2 and 3 simultaneously during a base game spin. With 10 free spins awarded (or free falls), the Avalanche and Avalanche Multipliers features are in full flow.
However, the multiplier values are bigger and can reach 15x. Below you’ll find the multipliers for each Avalanche and the chance of winning:
Avalanche | Multiplier | Chance of Winning |
1st | 3x | 25.20% |
2nd | 6x | 11.50% |
3rd | 9x | 4.70% |
4th | 15x | 1.70% |
Lastly, landing 3 Scatters on reels 1, 2 and 3 simultaneously will see you retrigger the feature. This will give you 10 additional free spins. In total, that means 20 free spins.
