The Bonus Features of Gonzo’s Quest Megaways

If you’ve scrolled the vast online casino floor, you may have stumbled upon one explorer called Gonzo, and his quest across the Slots. With a few quests to be discovered on the virtual lobby floor, there’s one quest we want to delve into – Gonzo’s Quest Megaways.

With places such as the Karamba online casino allowing you to play this slot, we wanted to look deeper into the game’s bonus features, and see what they are and what they do, when activated within gameplay – will you join us?

Gonzo’s Quest Megaways

Before we delve into the bonus features, let’s find out a little more about the game itself. This quest takes place in front of a Mayan temple. The game grid is comprised of six reels, and due to its link to the Megaways system, the number of rows varies per spin.

To get the reels spinning, you can wager anything from 0.10 credits to 10 credits. When activated, you’ll see the symbols and reels come to life, hoping to land you the perfect symbol combination. The symbols found within this quest filled slot include:

Bird
Snake
Alligator
Fish
Five varieties of Mayan masks
Question mark – the wild symbol of the game
Free fall – the scatter of the game
Gold coin

The bird, snake, alligator, fish and Mayan masks can be found spinning into play whilst set in stone-like blocks. The question mark wild can substitute itself for any other symbol on the reels, apart from the scatter symbol.

Talking of the scatter symbol, when you land three scatters within the same spin, you activate the ‘Free Fall’ bonus feature.

Bonus Features

There are a total of five bonus features to be activated within this Mayan-themed quest, let’s explore them further:

Avalanche

Symbols fall instead of spinning
Winning symbols explode and disappear leaving room for a further avalanche
Avalanches continue until no more matches can be made with the symbols within the game grid

Avalanche Multiplier

With every avalanche that occurs within the reels, the multiplier feature comes into play
With each additional avalanche in a row, the multiplier increases
Multipliers can reach up to 5x

Unbreakable Wilds

If two wild symbols land on the reels within the same spin, and both form part of a winning symbol combination, the wilds do not break or explode – they stay in place to help potentially form a further winning combination as an avalanche falls

Earthquake

The game grid will suddenly begin to shake
When an earthquake occurs, all low-value paying symbols will be destroyed and removed from the game grid
Once the earthquake ends, any gaps created will be filled with the avalanche feature

Free Fall

Three or more scatter symbols spun into play, within the spin, will activate this feature
Two scatters and a wild can also activate this feature
Each symbol that creates a win within this feature will award you with three free spins
The Royal Wheel feature will appear. You can choose to accept the number of spins you win from the wheel, or gamble them for more spins
Multipliers advance by 3x with each avalanche created:
- First avalanche – 3x multiplier
- Second avalanche – 6x multiplier
- Third avalanche – 9x multiplier
- Forth avalanche – 15x multiplier
There are no limits on the number of free spins you could win
Multipliers won will stay in place until a ‘no win’ spin occurs
