Gonzo's Treasure Hunt Game Review

Evolution Gaming continues their highly successful AR-driven live game series, and the time has finally come for NetEnt’s flagship title, Gonzo's Quest, to be converted. Set in the middle of an Incan temple, you will pick stones of different values to place your bets on. Number of picks is also decided up front, before the animated Gonzo initiates the Prize Drop feature.

The idea is to bet on stones that match the ones you later pick to be revealed. The prize drops (that are sometimes multiplied), will increase the value of random hidden stones before the grand finale reveals everything. Each round is highly unique, and your up-front betting choices determine your path and destiny.

Gonzo's Treasure Hunt Live Features & How to Play

You start by selecting the stone (or stones) you want to find during the Treasure Hunt phase of the game. There are 6 unique stones of different color to choose from, and these are as follows:

• Red Stone awards 65x your stake.
• Blue Stone awards 20x your stake.
• Green Stone awards 8x your stake.
• Purple Stone awards 4x your stake.
• Yellow Stone awards 2x your stake.
• Grey Stone awards 1x your stake.

The more a stone is worth, the slimmer your chances are of actually finding it on the wall. This means that you get to choose your own volatility somewhat seamlessly, but you can also mix up your game, of course.

After you’ve selected the stones you want, you choose the number of picks you get in the Treasure Hunt that follows.

You can select between 1 and 20 picks, and each pick reveals 1 stone on the wall of 70 hidden stones. More picks increase your winning chances, of course, but it’s not without a cost. The total bet you place is calculated by multiplying the number of picks by the total value of your stone bets.

Here’s an example to make it more clear: You place a £10 bet on the red stone and a £5 bet on the blue stone. You then choose to get 10 picks once the game starts. This amounts to a total bet of (£10 + £5) x 10 = £150.

Once the timed betting round is over, all 70 stones are shuffled by the RNG, and the stones are hidden when the Treasure Hunt starts.

Each player gets a unique experience, based on their betting round choices. Each stone you pick on the wall is marked by a handprint, and what follows is the Price Drop feature.

The Prize Drop

Once the picking phase of the Treasure Hunt is over with, Gonzo himself will turn a key to initiate the Price Drop feature. You will see prizes slide in on top of the stone wall, and these will be between +3 and +100. The prizes drop down if there is an opening, and add their values to random hidden stones on the wall. There will be between 0 and 7 prize drops per round.

In addition to the prize drops, multiplier stones between 2x and 10x will sometimes slide in on the prize reel. The multiplier values will apply to all visible prize drop values on the wall, but only if there is an opening below that they can drop down into. You can also get up to 10 Re-drops per round, meaning that new prize drops can be triggered after the initial drop is finished.

The stones can gain some serious value via all these drops and multipliers, and at the very most you can win 20,000x your stake from a single stone. As the game ends, all stones are revealed, and you get to see if you picked the stone (or stones) you placed your bet at in the beginning.

Review Summary

It’s hard to imagine Gonzo's Treasure Hunt Live not being a smash hit amongst both Gonzo fans and live game fans.

It might be different from the ever-popular slot version, but you’re basically engaging in a potentially very lucrative Pick’em Bonus Game here. All the betting choices makes this game flexible enough to appeal to all player types, from penny punter to hardcore high roller.

The augmented reality version of Gonzo is as charming as ever, and we believe this has the potential to be Evolution’s most successful live game ever.
