If there is one conquistador who needs little introduction is the morion hatted explorer Gonzo. This cheerful chap burst on 👍 the scene in 2013 in Gonzo's Quest, one of the finest combinations of features, charm, and playability NetEnt has ever 👍 produced and is still popular to this very day. It is dated, of course, as most eight-year-old games on any 👍 platform are. However, a Megaways reboot in 2024 by Red Tiger was like a modernising adrenal shot right in the 👍 heart of the franchise which was also followed up by a live casino game titled Gonzo's Treasure Hunt. Now we 👍 have Gonzo's Gold from NetEnt themselves, which breaks with tradition. Gonzo's Gold is a cluster pays slot, without a cascade/reaction 👍 mechanic, that climaxes in a symbol expansion feature during free spins.

Gonzo's Gold is also the least personable game in the 👍 series too. Gonzo especially is conspicuous by his absence. He shows up on the 5x5 game grid as its most 👍 valuable symbol, yet there is no comedic performance on the side of the grid where you would find him in 👍 the past. The whole background is pretty empty, really, depicting a misty stone complex, all more or less the same 👍 colour palette with nothing interesting to report back on. It's the sort of find an archaeologist might dread since there 👍 are no objets d'art to lift for the local museum. That or someone else beat them to it and cleaned 👍 the place out. As a strong counterpoint, the soundtrack is pretty good. Well, the base game music is subdued, though 👍 decent win effects and count-ups are nice. Getting to free spins is where the chanting kicks in and adds some 👍 life to the experience.

Gonzo's Gold may be played on tablets, mobile devices, or desktops and provides a wide range of 👍 stakes from 10 p/c toR$/€200 per spin. It's not as volatile as you might think, the math model garnering a 👍 medium rating. Winning clusters are formed when three premium or four low pay symbols land adjacent to each other, vertically 👍 or horizontally. 10 to ace card ranks are the lower value symbols, while the high pays are three mask icons 👍 and Gonzo as the top paying symbol. When landing clusters of 20 matching symbols or more, things start to get 👍 interesting, maxing out at 750 to 5,000 times the stake for a full grid of 25 premium symbols. Interestingly, Gonzo's 👍 Gold makes do without wild symbols or cascading pay systems.

Gonzo's Gold: Slot Features

The best chance of striking gold in the 👍 game is when at least 3 temple scatter symbols land to trigger the bonus round. Landing 3, 4, or 5 👍 of them in the base game awards 10 free spins plus a payout of 2, 20, or 200 times the 👍 bet.
