The description further states, “Gonzo thinks he’s finally discovered El Dorado! Find out what discoveries await in Gonzo’s Treasure Hunt”.
The short description has already got the punters talking and the video gained over a couple of thousand views within a few hours of going live. No major details are available at the moment. So, stay tuned as we update this section.
Gonzo’s Quest launched nearly a decade ago and soon turned into a cult classic among fans. The game has produced nearly a dozen millionaires since 2009 and even received the much-awaited Megaways update a few years back. Gonzo’s entry into the live casino segment will surely stir up the market.
Evolution has been keeping busy lately, launching interesting titles one after the other for a while now. The list includes MONOPOLY Live, Crazy Time, and Dream Catcher, to name a few. Based on the popularity of its past titles, the anticipation around Gonzo’s Treasure Hunt Live has shot through the roof!
Recapitulating Gonzo’s Quest and Gonzo’s Quest Megaways
Gonzo’s Quest is a 5-reel 3-row video slot with 20 pay lines. The betting range is between £0.20 and £50 per spin, while the maximum payout is 37,500x your stake. The game has an RTP of 95.97% and is NetEnt’s first platinum release. The question mark symbol is the Wild, while the Heath is the highest-paying symbol. It pays 2.5x, 12.5x, or 125x your stake in a 3, 4, or 5 symbol combination, respectively.
NetEnt revamped the title a couple of times. Gonzo’s Quest Touch, VR, and Megaways are the best examples. The Avalanche feature is common across the titles and replaces the traditional spin mechanism. The symbols cascade down like snow and replace the existing low-paying icons with high-paying symbols.
With the Megaways mechanism, the RTP increases to 96%, the pay lines to 117,649, and the reels to 6. The new buy-in range also ranges between £0.10 and £100 per spin. Other than that, the graphics and gameplay remain mostly unchanged. Gonzo’s Quest Megaways can be played on a desktop, tablet, or smartphone.
