Innovative Live Casino Game Gonzo's Treasure Hunt is Out Now

Gonzo’s Treasure Hunt, a long-awaited live online casino game show developed by Evolution Gaming, is finally out and available to players worldwide. For the first time ever, players get to experience the exciting mix of live casino and video slot games. 

Inspired by the NetEnt’s highly popular slot ‘Gonzo’s Quest’, Treasure Hunt Live is taking players back to South America on an adventure of a lifetime. This release stands out for 2 other reasons as well - this is the first time Evolution Gaming is using NetEnt’s IP after its acquisition of this legendary iGaming developer and this is the first live casino title that presents players with the VR (Virtual Reality) option.   

Todd Haushalter, Chief Product Officer at Evolution, said: 

“This is our first product that combines the best of NetEnt with Evolution. I’ve been excited to work with the amazing NetEnt intellectual property since the acquisition was announced and we are starting by taking the most famous character in slots and bringing him to a live casino.” 

Players are welcomed to the ancient temple by the legendary conquistador Gonzo and the adventurous host of this live game. The hunt for immense Inca riches is happening on a giant wall consisting of 70 stones. But, before the adventure starts, you need to choose the stones you want to place bets on. All the stones on the wall are mixed when the betting time is over and their values are hidden. Now the treasure hunt may begin! 

Once a player picks the required number of stones on the wall, Gonzo turns the key and activates a Prize Drop feature. Depending on your luck, you can land up to 7 prizes or no prizes at all. They stop on random positions and add extra value to the hidden stones. Evolution decided to spice things up even more with the Re-Drop feature that triggers Prize Drop once again and boosts players’ chances of landing a massive win. 

Haushalter also said: 

“This is also the first live game ever where players have such a high degree of control over their game strategy and the potential outcome. Unlike other games where the result is the result and there is nothing you can do about it, in Gonzo’s Treasure Hunt™ players take control as they go hunting for their prizes.” 

“This is a whole new direction for our game shows as we want to widen the definition of what a game show is – giving the player this level of control will attract a new audience to Evolution. We are continuing to evolve what the gambling experience can be, and this is an incredibly exciting landmark launch.” 

Evolution Gaming is one of those iGaming studios that is constantly pushing the industry needle, providing players with innovative, engaging, and imaginative ways to spend their gambling time. Gonzo’s Treasure Hunt live game is another testament to Evolution’s team ingenuity. Whether it’s going to reach the popularity of Crazy Time or not, only time will tell. Still, with a winning potential of 20,000x the stake and feature-filled gameplay, this release will certainly appeal to a greater live casino community.
