Virtual Reality

This game is going to be big for years to come, mainly because it is an industry first in marrying together slots and live dealer gameplay, and also the first game of its kind to introduce virtual reality.

VR gaming, of course, requires a headset; if you have one then this will produce a memorable 360-degree experience as you hunt for a big win. All other game elements stay the same for players choosing this option, but it is certainly something that will be explored by other providers in the future – as usual, Evolution is an industry trailblazer.

Features

As with any title from Evolution, the focus is on creating an enthralling gaming session, and Gonzo’s Treasure Hunt certainly delivers in that respect.

The game itself is Incan-themed and you join Gonzo and the host in trying to uncover hidden treasure; the game unfolds in front of a giant stone wall.

Prize Drop is the easiest way to land a big win and Gonzo himself kicks off the action by turning the golden key. Bonus prizes are revealed at the top of the stone wall, with multipliers and a re-drop symbol also included – a 20,000x maximum win per stone is the largest payout here.

At its simplest, players are betting on which stones they will try and find – there are six colours to choose from. Each has a different payout value between 1x and 65x and you then buy Picks to try and uncover the corresponding stone; up to 20 picks can be purchased per game. A hand palm is used to mark where you wish to mark your Pick on the wall.

At the game’s end, the wall’s layout is revealed and if your bet has been successful then the payout will be added to your account.

Summary

Gonzo’s Treasure Hunt successfully breathes new life into the famous series and it is a refreshing addition, with gameplay a world away from the slots. The virtual reality addition is especially impressive and is something that will surely ensure that this is a release that lasts long in the memory.
