NetEnt Gonzo's Quest

"Avalanches, multipliers, conquistadors. The original cascade."

Gonzo's Quest is the slot that introduced the cascade-reels mechanic to online slots in 2010. Mayan-jungle theme with the conquistador Gonzo as the narrative character. Winning symbols crumble away and new symbols fall in (the Avalanche feature). Consecutive wins increase a multiplier (1x -> 2x -> 3x -> 5x in base game, up to 15x in free spins). RTP 95.97%, medium volatility, 2,500x stake max win.
