Gonzo’s Gold

Gonzo’s Gold Slot Review

All that glitters is not gold! If you tried telling Gonzo this he would start laughing at you as nothing will stop the eager explorer from his search for treasure. Continuing the famous NetEnt mini-series, let’s see what Gonzo has in store for us this time!

The visual aspect of the game is rather simple which, to be honest, we expected because the game emphasizes more on the gameplay than looks. The gold embezzled reel set stands in the middle of an ancient temple supported by various stone columns. The size and mechanics of the reels, just like the other games in the franchise, are fairly different compared to most slots. The logo of the game sits on top of the reel set.

Talking about mechanics, the classic reel-after-reel model is replaced by cluster pays. In this case, winning combinations are formed by getting at least 4 horizontally or vertically adjacent matching symbols. This changes to a minimum of 3 in the case of high paying symbols.

The exploration theme isn’t something new nor is the whole tomb raiding genre but this game looks like it has a lot to offer to this kind of game. If you find this title to be entertaining then we recommend also checking out NetEnt’s Gonzo’s Quest, the original game that was released back in 2011 introducing the then-revolutionary avalanche mechanic. Now, let’s see what this game is all about!

How to Play Gonzo’s Gold

The game consists of 5 rows and 5 reels with the cluster pays model. As expected, the controls interface can be found near the bottom part of the screen allowing players to adjust the bet size, enable the autoplay and quick spin functions, spin, tweak the audio settings, or enter the in-game menu for further information and customization.

Gonzo’s Gold features 5 low paying and 4 high paying symbols. The first come in the form of card values 10-A followed by totem-like animal statues and Gonzo.

The slot’s special symbols are:

• Wild – Represented by the Aztec temple, the wild will substitute for all other symbols. It also acts as a scatter symbol since getting at least 3 of them will trigger the free spins feature.
• Mystery – The mystery icons are a special symbol that doesn’t appear on the reel set but at the start of the free spins feature.

Gonzo’s Gold Features

Just like the original Gonzo’s game, this one is of high variance meaning that it doesn’t allow for many features to be offered. In fact, the only special mode being offered is that of the free spins. Let’s check it out!
