How Gonzo's Quest plays
Symbols drop rather than spin; winning symbols shatter and new ones fall in (Avalanche), and each consecutive Avalanche in one spin raises a multiplier from 1x up to 5x. Three Free Fall symbols on reels 1-3 award 10 Free Falls where the Avalanche multiplier climbs to a maximum of 15x, and Free Falls can be retriggered. Wilds also stand in for the Free Fall symbol.
Theme: Conquistador, Inca/El Dorado treasure. Filed under Adventure and exploration.
Features in this game
- Cascading reels: After a win, the winning symbols are removed and new ones fall into the gaps, giving another chance to win from the same stake.
- Multipliers: A value such as ×2 or ×10 applied to a win, a spin or a whole feature, multiplying the amount paid.
- Free spins: A bonus round of spins played at no extra cost, usually triggered by scatter symbols and often with extra features.
What the figures mean
An RTP of 95.97% is a long-run average across millions of spins. It works out at a house edge of 4.03%, so every £100 staked costs £4.03 on average. A session of 200 spins at £1 stakes £200, and the expected cost of that session is £8.06, although the real result will usually land a long way either side. Work out your own figures.
The provider rates volatility as medium. That describes how winnings are spread: higher volatility means longer runs with little back and rarer, larger wins. It does not change the average. More on volatility, or see it in a simulation.
Published hit frequency is 41%, meaning roughly 41 spins in every 100 return something. Many of those returns are smaller than the stake.
