Gonzita's Quest slot machine: features
The first innovative element you notice when opening the game is undoubtedly the graphics. Gonzo's Quest was already a novelty in this sense, offering one of the first 3D graphics. Gonzita's Quest takes the details and design accuracy to an even higher level, rising to a quality that could absolutely match that of the latest PlayStation or Xbox video games. The slot's background is larger than the original title and shows a more detailed image of the Mayan temple where the young archaeologist's search takes place. Falling leaves gently and pleasantly animate the environment, and Gonzita, just like Gonzo, stays throughout the gaming session watching the reels' action, occasionally animating to collect gold coins or celebrate wins.
Winning combinations require 3 to 5 tiles of the same type and include both major icons (characterized by a traditional mask) and minor icons (designed as animals imprinted on rock). The minimum bet is 20 cents, the highest is 40 euros. The maximum win provided by the game is 2,580x the base bet and the paying symbols, with their respective prizes, are:
- Blue mask, which pays up to 125x;
- Green mask, which pays up to 50x;
- Golden mask, which pays up to 30x;
- Purple mask, which pays up to 15x;
- Blue mural, which pays up to 8x;
- Green mural, which pays up to 5x;
- Red mural, which pays up to 3x;
- Yellow mural, which pays up to 2x.
Extra features of the Gonzita's Quest slot
Scatter and Free Spins: scatters are represented by stone slabs bearing a multiplier. When 3 or more of these land on the grid, you win 3 Free Spins. During these games, when a reel fills with multipliers, Gonzita runs to collect their sum and golden stone slabs bearing the highest possible multipliers will start falling on that same reel. By filling the same reel with more multipliers, diamond slabs will subsequently fall, bearing even higher multiplier values.
Fall Feature: symbols that participate in a winning combination are removed from the screen and are replaced by other slabs falling from above. The feature ends when no further winning combinations are formed.
Pros and cons of the Gonzita's Quest slot
Gonzita's Quest bases its success undoubtedly on the graphics and the multipliers included in the Free Spins feature. This is actually the only extra feature of the game, as the Avalanche mechanic with progressive multipliers during standard spins hasn't been included. The title thus proves to be extremely intuitive and offers simple gameplay, at times perhaps repetitive since waiting for Free Spins is the only element that can really change the course of the game. Fans of the Gonzo's Quest saga will certainly appreciate this new release, but those looking for slots with more dynamic and varied gameplay might not be satisfied with just the artwork and free spins multipliers.
