Gonzo's Quest 2
Red Tiger takes the conquistador back to El Dorado. Symbols fall instead of spinning, every cleared win lifts the multiplier, and Free Falls is where the run really starts.
The sequel to one of the best known pokies ever made
The original Gonzo's Quest has been in casino lobbies since 2010 and is the game that taught a generation of players what a cascading reel was. Gonzo's Quest 2 is the follow up, built by Red Tiger, and it keeps the character, the stone block symbols and the jungle temple while rebuilding the maths and the feature set around them. Gonzo himself still does a little dance when the multiplier climbs, which is not a mechanical detail but is a large part of why people keep the game on their shortlist.
The premise is unchanged. You are following a Spanish explorer who has gone looking for the lost city of gold, the reels are carved tablets set into a temple wall, and winning combinations are chiselled away to reveal what is behind them. Where the sequel differs is in how far the multipliers can run and what the bonus rounds do with them.
Avalanche reels, explained properly
There is no spinning in Gonzo's Quest 2. Symbols drop into the grid from above and settle, which is the Avalanche part. If the arrangement contains a winning combination, those symbols are paid and then destroyed, and the blocks above tumble down to fill the holes while new ones fall in from the top.
The new arrangement is checked again. If it pays, the cycle repeats. Each consecutive avalanche inside the same paid spin raises the win multiplier another step, so the fourth win in a chain is worth considerably more than the first was. A chain ends when symbols land without forming a win, and the multiplier resets for the next paid spin.
You are not waiting for one result, you are watching a sequence resolve, and the question on any given drop is not whether it paid but whether it will pay again.
| Avalanche multipliers | Each consecutive win in a chain steps the multiplier up |
|---|---|
| Free Falls | The free spins round, entered from scatter symbols; multipliers start higher and climb further |
| Eye of Gold | A bonus element tied to the El Dorado theme, revealed in play |
| Volatility | Medium to high |
| Return to player | Printed in the game's info panel |
| Stake range | Set in the bet panel inside the game |
What medium to high volatility means for your session
Gonzo's Quest 2 sits in the medium to high band, which is a more forgiving place than the extreme end of the market. You should expect wins often enough that a session has rhythm to it, with the serious outcomes reserved for a long avalanche chain or a Free Falls round that keeps feeding itself. It is the kind of game you can play for an hour on a small stake without the balance either vanishing or sitting still.
The practical advice is the same as for any pokie, with one addition specific to this one. Pick a stake you would be content to lose over a full session, not a stake sized to the win you are hoping for. Then resist the urge to raise it after a good chain, because the multiplier reset means the next paid spin starts from the bottom regardless of what the last one did. Avalanche games are unusually good at making a run feel like momentum. The maths has no memory.
What makes it worth a spin
- Falling symbols make every paid spin a sequence, not a single result
- Multipliers build visibly, so you can read how a chain is going
- Medium to high volatility suits longer, smaller stake sessions
Worth being clear about
- Multipliers reset on each new paid spin, so a hot streak is not a trend
- Return to player and maximum win vary by configuration, so check the info panel
- Like every pokie, the house edge is permanent and built in
On mobile
Red Tiger builds for portrait first and this title shows it. The grid fills the width of a handset, the avalanche animation is short enough not to slow down a session, and the multiplier counter sits above the reels where your thumb is not covering it. Our lobby runs in the mobile browser with nothing to install, so you open the site, sign in and play. The app page shows how to pin it to your home screen.
Because the result of a paid spin and all its avalanches is settled server side, a dropped connection cannot cost you a chain. Reopen the game and your balance reflects everything that resolved.

How the welcome package behaves here
Our three deposit welcome offer runs to A$7,500 plus 200 free spins: 100% up to A$3,000 with 100 spins on the first deposit, 150% to A$2,500 with 50 spins on the second, and 200% to A$2,000 with 50 spins on the third. Minimum deposit is A$20 and bonus funds carry 35x wagering with 30 days to complete it.
Gonzo's Quest 2 is a pokie, so it pulls full weight: a dollar staked is a dollar off the requirement, where a live dealer table would contribute a tenth of that at most. The one rule to watch is the A$7.50 maximum spin that applies for as long as bonus funds are active, which is comfortably above a sensible stake on this game but easy to breach if you raise your bet chasing a chain. The welcome spins arrive 20 a day for ten days at A$0.20 each, capped at A$100 of winnings per daily batch.
Read the detail on our bonus page before you opt in, and watch your remaining wagering in the cashier.

Gonzo's Quest 2 questions
What are Avalanche reels?
Symbols fall into the grid rather than spinning. Winning symbols are destroyed, the blocks above drop to fill the gap, and the new arrangement is paid again if it wins.
How do the multipliers work?
Each consecutive winning avalanche inside the same paid spin raises the multiplier another step. It resets when a drop produces no win, so the next paid spin starts from the base level.
What is Free Falls?
Free Falls is the free spins round, reached from scatter symbols. Multipliers begin higher than in the base game and climb further as the avalanches chain together.
What is the RTP and maximum win?
Both are printed in the game's info panel. We point you there rather than quote a figure, because they can differ by configuration and by your stake.
Is it a sequel to the original Gonzo's Quest?
Yes. Red Tiger built this follow up on the same character and El Dorado theme, with a reworked feature set.
Does it count toward bonus wagering?
Fully, at 100%, as all our pokies do. Keep spins at or below A$7.50 while a bonus is active and finish the 35x inside 30 days.
