📖 Detailed Explanation
In Gonzo's Quest, the high-value symbols are the top-paying regular symbols depicted as colorful Inca stone masks or faces with gold accents, offering the largest payouts when landing three or more on a payline.
These symbols, in descending order of value, include:
- Grayish-blue or gray and gold head/mask: Highest value, paying 2.5x bet for 3, 12.5x for 4, and 125x (or up to 2,500 coins) for 5.
- Green and gold head: 1x bet for 3, 5x for 4, 50x for 5.
- Gold or beige/tan and gold head: 0.75x bet for 3, 2.5x for 4, 25x for 5.
- Purple and gold head: 0.5x bet for 3, 1.25x for 4, 10x for 5.
The lower-value symbols are orange/red animal faces (0.25x-5x) and gray/light blue (0.15x-2.5x), requiring more matches for wins. All regular symbols feature Incan carvings and trigger the Avalanche feature, where wins explode and new symbols drop, building multipliers up to 5x in base play or 15x in Free Falls. Note that wild (gold question mark stone) substitutes for these but not scatters (gold medallions), and payouts scale with bet size (0.20-$50/100). This structure makes high-value symbols key for big wins in NetEnt's iconic 5-reel, 20-payline slot.
