How to play Gonzo’s Quest Megaways
- Open the game and choose your stake.
- Press Spin. Each reel shows between two and seven symbols, so the number of ways to win changes on every spin.
- Matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel, create a win. Winning symbols are removed and new ones fall into place.
- Land three or more golden Free Fall symbols to trigger the Free Falls round.
- Set a budget and a time limit before you start, and take regular breaks.
Bonus features
Avalanche multipliers
Every win triggers an Avalanche, where the winning symbols disappear and new ones drop in. In the base game, the multiplier rises from 1x to 2x, 3x and then 5x with consecutive wins, and resets after the sequence ends.
Unbreakable Wilds
The question mark wild substitutes for paying symbols and is not removed when it forms part of a win, so it can help with further wins in the same sequence. Up to two wilds can be on the reels at once.
Earthquake
The Earthquake can trigger at random in the base game. It removes all low-paying symbols from the reels, so only high-paying symbols drop in on the following Avalanches.
Free Falls
Three or more golden Free Fall symbols trigger the round. Three symbols award 9 Free Falls, and each extra symbol adds 3 more. During the round, the Avalanche multiplier rises through 3x, 6x, 9x and 15x. Landing more Free Fall symbols during the round adds extra Free Falls.
