Everyone’s favourite conquistador is back. Gonzo still hasn’t found the lost city of El Dorado and this time he’s searching deep inside an Incan temple. Gonzo’s Gold features 5 reels, 5 rows, and a Cluster Pays mechanic. There are Bonus Spins, Expanding Symbols, and more. You’ll also get to spin alongside the casino industry’s most beloved and hapless explorer.
What is the Gonzo’s Gold Slot?
Gonzo’s Gold is a NetEnt slot that was released 10 years after Gonzo’s Quest, the slot on which it is based. It’s not a simple copy though and actually takes things in an entirely new direction.
The Avalanche feature has been swapped for a classic NetEnt Cluster Pays feature and the maximum payout is also a little higher. Gonzo is still the star of the show, as expected, and as this is a NetEnt slot, you know you’re getting an attractive and feature-rich title.
Here are a few of the features to look out for:
-
- Cluster Pays
- Bonus Spins
- Golden Symbol Expansion
Gonzo’s Gold Features
The 5x5 reels of Gonzo’s Gold are surrounded by a gilded frame and sit inside a golden entranceway. The symbols on the reels include Gonzo himself, along with a number of priceless treasures and some basic playing card symbols. You can spin the reels for as little as £0.10 and it’s possible to win as much as 6,500x. At the minimum wager, this amounts to a total payout of £650. The game’s biggest payouts occur during the Bonus Spins feature, but this is not the only feature to look out for.Cluster Pays
Gonzo’s Gold doesn’t use traditional paylines. It features something known as Cluster Pays, whereby wins are created whenever there are enough matching symbols. These connections can be horizontal or vertical. You need 3 or more of them to win with the high symbols and 4 or more with the low symbols. The unique paylines and base game structure is one of the things that made the original Gonzo’s Quest so memorable, and it will no doubt have the same effect for Gonzo’s Gold.Bonus Spins
Gonzo loves his Bonus Spins, and who can blame him? This feature is triggered when three or more of the Scatter symbols appear on the reels. These symbols don’t need to land in a single payline—as long as they are on the reels, the feature will activate. You'll always get 10 Bonus Spins, but there is also an instant payout and this varies depending on how many Scatters you reveal:- 3 Scatters = 2x (£2 from a €1 wager)
- 4 Scatters = 20x (£20 from a €1 wager)
- 5 Scatters = 200x (£200 from a €1 wager)
Golden Symbol Expansion
Before the Bonus Spins feature begins, you’ll be asked to complete a simple Click-Me feature. Choose one of the symbols on the screen and this symbol can expand during the feature. It can expand to cover an entire reel or row whenever it appears. To trigger the Expanding Symbol feature, you need to reveal two of your chosen symbols alongside one another. If they are connected vertically, the reel will expand. If they are connected horizontally, the row will expand.Summary of the Gonzo’s Gold Slot
Gonzo is back. He still hasn’t found what he’s looking for and he probably never will, but that doesn’t mean he won’t have a good time trying. There is a Cluster Pays mechanic that keeps things busy during the base game and you can also unlock Bonus Spins to take things to another level. Check out Gonzo’s Gold today to see if you can help this opportunistic conquistador get what he wants.
