GONZO'S QUEST MEGAWAYS SYMBOLS AND BONUS FEATURES
Gonzo’s Quest Megaways is a 6-reel Megaways game. Each reel can hold 2 to 7 symbols and the number of symbols may change on every spin. More symbols per reel allow for more ways to win and therefore the maximum is 7x7x7x7x7x7=117,649.
The game is set inside a Mayan temple. The symbols will be familiar to Gonzo’s Quest fans but since technology has improved since 2011, images and animation are generally better. This game got two new symbols as well, making the total number of symbols 9. The less valuable symbols are animals found in the jungles of the Americas, namely birds, snakes, alligators, and fish. The higher-paying ones depict five different Mayan masks. Landing 6 of the most valuable symbol comes with a 15x the bet payout.
Avalanching wins are one of the additions of the remake. Here, winning combinations of symbols explode and are replaced with new ones. An avalanche multiplier of 2x also applies after the first win and a 3x and 5x multiplier after the second and third wins.
The Earthquake feature will shake your screen at random and destroy all lower-paying symbols helping you win.
The question mark symbol is the Wild of the game and it substitutes for all other symbols. Unbreakable wilds are durable and don’t break when you win. One is present on the first three reels and one on the last three ones.
Three Free Fall Scatters will get you to the Free Fall feature. Each Scatter awards you 3 Free Falls.
