The words ‘innovation’ and ‘ground-breaking’ often get used far too easily but with Gonzos Treasure Hunt VR those adjectives are more than apt!
For years, we have been seeing updated versions of previous games, the same games with different skins and generally repetitive content. However, Evolution recently announced the release of Gonzo’s Treasure Hunt adding a fresh new look to the live dealer scene. This is a game that combines a live casino game show with a live slot-style casino game, and now to add to the entertainment, this slot now boasts Virtual Reality (VR) gameplay.
Gonzo’s Quest is where the story began. The online slot became very popular in the online casino world and the new release will fit perfectly into an already admirable portfolio. There is no doubt that this style of slot can potentially shape the future, causing the whole market to be forced into a new way of thinking, forcing a new approach. Evolution took over NetEnt and Red Tiger in the latter months of 2020 and so this new Gonzo’s Treasure Hunt release is Evolution’s first creation using the NetEnt and Red Tiger IP. It takes the character from the Gonzo’s Quest video slot by NetEnt and Gonzo’s Quest Megaways video slot from Red Tiger, and bundles the slot theme into this amazing live dealer game show title.
It is the first game show of its type, and with its success, we can expect the live casino scene’s game show section to take a new refreshing approach. With the success of titles like Crazy Time and Monopoly Live which have game show style games as their bonus round, Gonzo’s Treasure Hunt skips the bonus round needed via a wheel of fortune spin and gets straight down to business!
To add to the excitement this game is already conjuring up, Evolution is now taking that giant leap of faith we have all been waiting for and trying out virtual reality! Not only is this a brand new style of live game, we are looking at what could very well be the beginning of VR’s breakthrough into the online casinos scene. We know a number of developers are working on VR, and it is something that will be a part of iGaming’s future, and this may be the beginning!
Exhilarating Gameplay of Gonzo’s Treasure Hunt!
The main focus in the game is all surrounded around a 70-stone wall. The wall has treasures hidden inside of it that when found, reward the player handsomely. The player will be excited when Gonzo is brought to life and helps to search for the treasures. Other than the Virtual Reality aspect, the game provides the player with exceptional graphics and mesmerizing content. You can even use your headset to place your bets which really compliments the whole Virtual reality experience. The hosts of the show play their part in the experience too. They join you and Gonzo in the hunt for the hidden treasures and provide you with all the help you need to get the most out of the game.
The Chief Product Officer for Evolution expressed his excitement of working with NetEnt. Todd Haushalter, the Chief Product Officer, thought that using the most known character for the first virtual reality product was the right thing to do.
Haushalter commented about how this game is different when compared to others as it is a game where players can actually take ownership of the game as it is them that do the hunting and not the computer program. He believes that game shows how we formerly knew them will soon change and Evolution will have been the first to change the entire direction of the industry. Haushalter hopes that the latest innovation will both excite the current audience and, indeed, attract an entirely new audience!
