Gonzo's Quest series
Which entry should come first in NetEnt's Gonzo's Quest series: the 20-payline Avalanche original or the expanding-reel sequel? Start with Gonzos Quest to learn the franchise through a readable cascade-and-multiplier loop; move to the sequel when wider win counts, more modifiers and high volatility are the priority.

The original uses a 5x3 grid, medium volatility and increasing multipliers to make consecutive Avalanches matter. Its 3,750x maximum is restrained beside the sequel's ceiling, but the simpler combination of cascades, wilds, scatters and free spins makes the core Gonzo mechanic easier to follow.
Gonzo’s Quest 2 expands that foundation to as many as 262,144 ways, then adds changing reelsets, stacked symbols, random wilds, a 3x3 mega symbol and a bonus bet. The result is a sharper risk profile with a 15,825x maximum. The earlier Gonzo's Quest Megaways provides useful context between the fixed-line original and this broader multiway direction, but the numbered sequel pushes the formula further through its denser modifier stack.
