📖 Detailed Explanation
In Gonzo's Quest Slot, when a winning combination forms—typically 3 or more matching symbols across the 20 paylines starting from the leftmost reel—the winning symbols explode and disappear from the grid.
New symbols then avalanche (fall) into place from above, potentially creating additional winning combinations in a chain reaction known as the Avalanche feature, which replaces traditional spinning reels. This process continues indefinitely until no more wins occur, with no limit on the number of avalanches per round.
Each successive avalanche increases the win multiplier, tracked by a meter in the top right corner:
- 1st Avalanche: 1x multiplier
- 2nd Avalanche: 2x multiplier
- 3rd Avalanche: 3x multiplier
- 4th+ Avalanches: 5x maximum in the base game
Winning bet lines are highlighted, and the win amount is added to your balance before the next avalanche. The wild (question mark) symbol substitutes for others to help form wins, while the payout is based on the highest win per line.
If three or more Free Fall symbols (golden blocks) land on the first three reels during an avalanche, it triggers 10 Free Falls (free spins) with higher multipliers up to 15x, and more can be retriggered. This mechanic boosts potential payouts significantly, with the base game max multiplier capped at 5x.
