Sunquest is a 5 reel video slot which has 9 pay-lines and is yet another great slot powered by Microgaming online casino software. It is one of those slots that have no particular theme with symbolsranging from fruits to golden bars and 7's. This slot is stripped of all the unnecessary distractions and the music in the background gives you the feeling that you are somewhere sunbathing. Give this slot a free spin here or visit Microgaming Casinos to play for the real money.
If you wish to try this slot the first thing you should know is to adjust your wagers. Much like so many Microgamingslots this one also has both expert and regular panel. Coin denomination rangesfrom0.25 to 2.00 and with the help of "+/-" you can adjust your bet. With "select lines" you choose the number of lines you wish to bet and with "bet max" you adjust maximum possible bet. If you switch to expert mode you will get "auto play" option that will spin the reels for a desired number of times.
As far as features in this slot game go, you will encounter scatter symbol and wild symbol. Sunset Wild symbol in the Sunquest video slot acts as a substitution for all other symbols in the game except for the scatter. It can appear on reels 2, 3 and 4 and it does not create its own winning combination when multiple symbols appear on an enabled pay-line. If there is more than one possible winning combo on a pay-line, you will be paid out the value of the highest one.
The game also has Colorful Wacky Scatter symbol which completes a winning combination when three or more of these appear anywhere on the reels. Winnings are calculated by multiplying the scatter combination pay-out with the total number of regular coins bet. If you land both a scatter win and a regular win you will be paid out both wins since the scatter awards are independent from pay-line prizes and are added to the pay-line win.

Oh my god! What we have here is yet another game from Microgaming that has a game title of 'Sunquest', but has absolutely nothing to do with the sun at all! Not even about looking for the sun. So why the heck named the game so? Only Microgaming knows, but it is totally out of context, to say it very nicely. Looking at the game, you might even frown, as I did, because it is nothing more than just another fruits machine game, being reused and re-cloned for the millionth time, for which Microgaming is tops for doing it. Gees!
The Sunset is the WIld symbol. It doesn't pay anything for itself, it doesn't double any wins, it doesn't become stacked or expanded, and only substitutes for other symbols except the Scatter symbol. This is a totally dumb Wild symbol, the worst kind you can find in any game. The Scatter symbol pays an unbelievable 50x the total bet for 5 of them. If you think that's unbelievably big, then you're wrong! It's as good as useless, where a 'scatter' is concerned, because it doesn't make the symbol 'special' as it should be, but worse still, the Scatter symbols don't even award any Free Spins game either. What the argh! The highest paying symbol is the Golden Coin, paying 10,000x the line bet for 5 of them, the Diamond pays 1000x, the '7' pays 900x, the Bell pays 800x, the BAR pays 700x, and the fruits pay from 300x to 50x, all per line bet for 5 of each kind. This kind of paytable can only be considered as average to low, because only 1 symbol has a good value for it, whilst all others are low.
Just as with many other similar games from Microgaming, this Sunquest game is nothing more than a basic straightforward slot game, the norm of games decades ago. By today's standards, it's place is on a memorabilia display shelf, for seeing, not playing. My only game on it, recently, was a horrible experience, with my credits going down all the way, never even once trying to get back up. A totally disappointing game for me, a game worthy of my deep freezer.
