Gonzo's Gold slot is powered by Net Entertainment software with 5 reels and cluster paylines. Our cheerful and curious conquistador beckons again, for yet another fine adventure. We think it’s safe to assume that Gonzo needs no special introduction around here as he’s a quite popular chap, and if you want to join him on this journey to investigate an Incan temple, you can do it here for fun, or at any of the NetEnt Casinos for real.

Slot Features
Winning combos are created with the help of cluster mechanic of course, however, that is not the only thing that Gonzo’s Gold offers because big treasures are hiding in the Free Spins round and symbol expansion.
Free Spins
Get 3 or more scatters and you will trigger the feature with 10 spins awarded plus the bonus win of x2, x20 or x200, depending on the number of triggering symbols. However, before the round starts you will get to play a round of pick-and-click game where the chosen symbol will become an expanding symbol in the Free Spins feature.
Summary
Gonzo's Gold is masterfully evoking the Inca vibe which can be felt from the moment you load the game. What was disappointing is the lack of cascading mechanic that Gonzo is popular for. Still, the game is highly volatile with x6500 as max win cap. This fresh instalment however does not seem to do series the real justice that it deserves. Nevertheless, Gonzo definitely deserves a chance because despite the fact it lacks features it still offers some nice gaming time.
A slot from NetEnt and based on the character in history named Gonzalo Pizzaro. It’s one of NetEnt's cluster type slots with a grid 5x5. The minimum bet happens to be at just a low budget level of 0.10 and will no doubt be suitable for all players.
First of all I will tell you this slot is capable of multiple retriggers and on my very first session it gave me 5 retriggers for a total of 60 free spins. Now it did not matter if 4 or more scatters landed as it always gave an extra 10 free spins. But since I had 5 retriggers during the feature I will let this slide.
When 3 or more scatter pyramids landed in one spin there is an expanding symbol chosen by the player by clicking on one of the symbols to reveal the symbol that will be the expanding symbol. In my case it was the lowest symbol possible the number 10 symbol but this also meant this symbol would appear more often on the reels than some higher paying symbols to make up for the low payouts.
But how many spins did it take me to trigger the feature, in my case it was 141 spins. Who knows what the average number of spins is for this slot but I will probably be playing this slot again at some time to find out what the next feature pays like.
As fas as the base game goes the payouts were low and the best base win was only 4.5x. But it was more than made up for with the feature and its 5 retriggers that paid me a 292x Bet with the number 10 symbol being the expanding symbol.
The music for this slot is I would say fine, also suitable as expected and makes it an enjoyable playing experience.
Biggest possible win on this slot is 6500x and I would say that is more than enough for most players, my 292x was only 4.5% of the maximum potential but it is a good start.
When it comes to the slots RTP, I played it with a 96.11%, that is what I would call acceptable and is the default RTP setting and you might find it lower at various casinos but I would recommend playing it at this RTP setting or higher.
What happened to the lovable Gonzo character that would dance and react to the action on the reels. He is nowhere to be seen in such a manner but instead only appears on the reels themselves as one of the symbols. During the free spins when the retriggers were happening sometimes it would give me 4 scatters but still it gave the same number of extra spins as when 3 scatters occurred. I think it should have given extra spins for more scatters.
