If you ever decide to get back to Gonzo’s world, you will have at your disposal a grand collection of game. The shiniest of them all currently is Gonzo’s Quest II: Return to El Dorado, a stunning sequel to the conquistador game.

The game starts with a 6×4 grid and 4096 ways to win. This can quickly change, as Avalanches, Colossal icons, and reel expansion start rolling in. Ultimately, the grid can expand to 6×8 in size with 262,144 ways to win.

You can play the game for a stake as low as $0.30 to $30, which is not too wide of a betting range. Still, high rollers will probably love it because it has a win potential of 15,825x the stake. The game features the Avalanche™ feature.

Wilds and Scatters are going to be your best friends as they unlock the insane potential.

Players can bet between $0.30 and $30 per spin, making it suitable for casual players and high rollers alike. However, when we look at all the details in the game, it’s clear that the game is more suitable for high rollers, as casual players are probably not going to like the high variance and action-packed features.

The game offers 4,096 ways to win on the base grid, which expands to a staggering 262,144 ways when fully unlocked. The maximum payout is an impressive 15,825x your bet, achieved by chaining avalanches with big multiplier boosts, particularly during super free spins.

Base symbols such as Aztec symbols are the low-pays that pay 0.17x for 6 OAK. Higher valued icons are the same as in the original game. They pay up to 1x for 6 OAK.

Gonzo’s Quest II: Return to El Dorado comes packed with features that make every spin unpredictable. Here’s everything you can find in the new game.

Avalanche Multipliers

Avalanches are cascades, and it’s NetEnt’s trademarked feature. Each consecutive win increases the multiplier up to x5 in the base game as icons are held back as new ones fall from the top of the grid.

Expanded Reels

Avalanches that trigger wins will also add extra rows to the grid. This will unlock new winning ways, as the number of rows can go up to 8 rows high, from the starting 6×4 grid.

The grid will reset to the starting position once the Avalanche ends.

Wilds & Calamity Wilds

The game has two types of Wilds: Regular and Calamity Wilds. Regular Wilds substitute symbols, while Calamity Wilds trigger Random Wilds, adding 3–6 more wilds to the reels. Colossal icons are icons that land as 2×2, 3×3, or 4×4, and they count as multiple symbols at once. During Random Wilds, they can transform colossal icons can transform into Colossal Wilds.

Free Spins & Super Free Spins

The main game feature starts with 3, 4, 5, or 6 Scatters. This triggers 10, 12, 15, or 20 Free Spins or Super Free Spins, respectively.

An important thing to consider is that expanded reels or colossal icons from base game will not be transferred into Free Spins.  During Free Spins, you will have a global Multiplier, starting at 2x and then gradually increasing with each avalanche by +2x. At the end of avalanches, it resets to 2x. You can get extra Spins or Super Spins as the round goes.

Super Free Spins are different from Regular Spins as they require a colossal Scatter. if it’s 2×2, 3×3, or 4×4, the multiplier will be higher – 2x, 3x, or 5x respectively. It also grows in correspondence with the starting value.

However, Multipliers do not reset after the avalanche ends in Super Free Spins.

Elevate Feature

If you don’t want to waste time, you can buy your way into bonus features. You can open the Elevate menu and find the Bonus Hunt. Pay 2x the bet for a Scatter. There’s also a Calamity Explosion that costs 10x the stake, guaranteeing one Calamity Wild on the screen. There’s also a chance to get 3-6 Scatters for 100x the stake. You can also buy Super Free Spins for 1000x the stake.

Like all NetEnt releases, Gonzo’s Quest II is fully optimized for mobile and tablet play. In fact, we still remember the days when NetEnt was busy rearranging its games to fit the mobile landscape, switching from Flash to HTML. Gonzo’s Quest II, like the predecessor, is a fantastic game to play on a portable screen.

You can play on casino apps and mobile websites, just choose which one suits you more and enjoy.

Our Experience Playing Gonzo’s Quest II

We have high expectations for every NetEnt slot, but there’s even more at stake when we are talking about a game as legendary as Gonzo’s Quest was.

Playing Gonzo’s Quest 2 felt like revisiting an old friend, only this time, he’s brought some serious power with him. First off, we have the Avalanche mechanic combined with expanding reels and colossal Wilds. This led to some thrilling chains of wins.

Then, the Super Free Spins, which are a highlight thanks to the Multiplier. This gives you a chance to get massive payouts (and the game has a payout exceeding 15,000x overall). Still, the game is very obviously built for high rollers, all things considered. If you like high-risk games with a lot of potential, definitely give a chance to the Return to El Dorado.
