Pros & Cons

Pros (4)

Dynamic Grid Growth

The Expanding Reels Feature means the win-ways can dynamically increase up to 262,144 as the grid expands to 6×8.

Colossal Payout Potential

The introduction of colossal symbols up to 4×4 provides massive individual symbol wins, especially when they transform into Colossal Wilds.

Explosive Wild Mechanic

The unique Calamity Wild ensures follow-up wins by dropping 3 to 6 new Regular Wilds onto the reels, which keeps the Avalanche chains going.

Upgraded Bonus Multipliers

The Super Free Spins mode offers significantly higher starting multipliers (up to x5) and increased multiplier growth (up to +5 per Avalanche) than the base mode.

Cons (3)

Super Bonus Cost

The premium 1,000x bet required for guaranteed Super Free Spins access is a steep investment.

High Volatility Challenge

The 15,825x max win is tied to a High Volatility math model, which means significant bankroll swings are expected.

Multiplier Reset

In the base game, the global multiplier resets completely after any non-winning Avalanche.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before you get started

What is the maximum win and volatility of the game?

Gonzo's Quest II: Return to El Dorado offers a high-risk, high-reward experience, classified with High Volatility. The maximum payout players can aim for is an impressive 15,825x the bet. The game starts with a 6×4 layout but can dynamically grow.

How do the Expanding Reels and Avalanches work?

The game utilizes the Expanding Reels Feature. Each spin starts with a 6-reel, 4-row layout. When a win occurs, an Avalanche is triggered, and the reels expand. Each Avalanche adds one row to the top, allowing the play area to reach a maximum of 4 extra rows (a 6×8 size). Avalanche wins also boost the game's multiplier. In the base game, the reels reset to the original 6×4 size once Avalanches end.

What is the Calamity Wild feature?

The Calamity Wild is a special type of Wild symbol that can appear anywhere on the reels. It is the key to the Random Wilds Feature. When a Calamity Wild lands as part of a winning combination, it activates the feature. Before the next Avalanche, the Calamity Wild places 3 to 6 regular Wild symbols randomly onto the reels. The Calamity Wild substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter or other Calamity Wilds.

How do the colossal symbols affect payouts?

Scatters and high-win symbols can appear in huge colossal sizes: 2×2, 3×3, or 4×4. These symbols dramatically increase your winning potential. A 2×2 colossal symbol counts as 4 individual symbols. A 3×3 colossal symbol counts as 9 individual symbols. A 4×4 colossal symbol counts as 16 individual symbols.

How do I trigger Free Spins and what is the difference between Free Spins and Super Free Spins?

The Free Spins feature is triggered by landing 3, 4, 5, or 6 Scatter symbols in succession from the leftmost reel. Free Spins Mode: This is triggered by 3 or more regular 1×1 Scatter symbols. The global multiplier starts at x2 and increases by +2 with each Avalanche. Super Free Spins Mode: This enhanced mode is triggered when at least one of the activating Scatters is a Colossal Scatter. The starting multiplier and the increase rate are much higher, depending on the size of the Colossal Scatter: 2×2 Colossal Scatter: Starts at x2, increases by +2. 3×3 Colossal Scatter: Starts at x3, increases by +3. 4×4 Colossal Scatter: Starts at x5, increases by +5.

Can I buy the bonus feature?

Yes, the game features an Elevate Feature menu which allows players to buy directly into special events or bonus rounds. The costs vary based on the desired feature: Calamity Explosion (Guaranteed Calamity Wild win): 10x the bet. Free Spins activation: 100x the bet. Super Free Spins activation (Guaranteed Colossal Scatter): 1,000x the bet.
