Gonzo's Treasure Hunt Review
Evolution brings you Gonzo’s Treasure Hunt, a new interactive live game that takes each player on an individual journey. WhichCasino gives you the definitive Gonzo's Treasure Hunt review.
Inspired by NetEnt’s classic slot, Gonzo’s Quest, Evolution brings you Gonzo’s Treasure Hunt, a new interactive live game that takes each player on an individual journey. This is the world’s first live casino game to incorporate slots-style gameplay and the first to offer a Virtual Reality (VR) mode too. Join Gonzo and your live host and head off on your own treasure hunt, with the chance to score massive multiplied winnings!
How to Play Gonzo's Treasure Hunt
You play by setting off on your own treasure hunt, selecting which treasures you want to look for and how many opportunities you think you will need to find them. You bet on each outcome from 10 to 1000 coins.
The treasure in question comes in the form of six different-coloured stones that each have their own payout value - 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x, 20x and 65x. Naturally, the higher-paying stones are much rarer than the lower-paying ones. To get the stones out of the wall, you need a pick. You can buy up to 20 picks at the start of each round, but keep an eye on how much you are spending.
How to Win Gonzo's Treasure Hunt
Once the treasure hunt has ended, all of the stones’ values are revealed, so you can see if your hunt has been a success. Winners are those who picked one of the stones they bet on. Stones with bonus values will also boost your payout. Some of the stones carry values of up to 20,000 coins during the Prize Drop.
Special Features & Bonuses
You could argue the whole set-up of Gonzo’s Treasure Hunt is a special feature, but there are a couple of mechanisms within the game that could help to boost your payout. Here's how each feature works:
Treasure Hunt
The treasure hunt itself takes place on a wall where the stones are shuffled, and the value of each stone is not visible. Choose a stone and use a pick to take it from the wall. The value will not be revealed until the end of the game.
Since you choose all the elements, your treasure hunt is unique to you and is determined by how many stones and picks you chose. Of course, there is also a strong element of luck in landing the high-value stones and those you bet on.
Prize Drop
Adding to the excitement is the Prize Drop, which can boost your winnings by up to 20,000x for each stone!
Bonus prizes: These start at the top of the wall and only drop into empty spaces in the row below. They will then continue to drop until they stop at random on one of the stones, boosting its (still hidden) value by 3 to 100
Multipliers: Multipliers may appear on the wall to multiply the stones’ values by 2x to 10x
Re-Drop: Re-Drop symbols activate another round of Prize Drops, giving you another chance to increase the values of your stones. As the Prize Drops stop at random, it is possible to get multiple multipliers and bonus prizes on one stone. This creates the possibility of huge payouts.
Virtual Reality
In a first for Live Casino games, if you have a VR headset with a controller, you can join Gonzo in his world with 360-degree video content. The gameplay remains largely the same, and you can still interact with the live dealer.
Gonzo's Treasure Hunt Design & Theme
Gonzo’s Quest has become one of the most popular slots of all time, partly due to its attractive animations and glorious graphics. In Gonzo’s Treasure Hunt, you can join Gonzo in the same fantastical world, thanks to the magic of virtual reality. AR Gonzo is brilliantly rendered, and the world you enter resembles the original slot in style and tone. The live host adds to the experience, making the whole thing feel like an innovative, exciting game show.
Gonzo's Treasure Hunt RTP
Gonzo's Quest Treasure Hunt has a theoretical RTP of 96.56% but as each player creates a different set-up for themselves, it is difficult to be sure. The game is high volatility with 70 stone positions from which to find the high paying stones. The more you spend on picks, the better chance you have of winning big. However, with the values hidden, you could also end up paying out more than you win.
Our Verdict
Gonzo, the Spanish explorer, has always been a player favourite with Gonzo’s Quest and subsequent spin-offs gaining immense popularity all over the world. Now, this lovable character is back live and direct in this stunning collaboration. We are potentially seeing the next phase of live gaming here and, if so, we’re excited. Gonzo’s Treasure Hunt is a masterpiece.
