Guitar Quest Slot Review

About the Game

Guitar Quest is a 5-reel, 4-row slot machine from Relax Gaming, offering 1024 ways to win. Winning combinations and payouts are determined according to the paytable. Matching symbols in any position on three or more adjacent reels, starting with the leftmost reel, is one way to win.

• The theoretical return to player for this game is 96.10%.

Payouts are awarded only for the longest combination of two identical symbols. Multiple identical symbols on a reel increase the winnings proportionally. Once a spin begins, the bet amount for that round is fixed and cannot be changed.

Buy Bonus

The “Buy Bonus” feature is activated only in the “Supercharge” (SC) menu in the main game. The “Buy Bonus” bet is 100 times your regular bet for the standard bonus or 400 times your regular bet for the Ultra Bonus. The theoretical RTP (return to player) for a standard bonus purchase is:

• Backstage Bonus: 96.50%
• Solo Mode Bonus: 96.50%

The theoretical RTP (return to player) for the Ultra Bonus buy is:

• Backstage Ultra Bonus: 96.50%
• Solo Mode Ultra Bonus: 96.50%

Bonus Reels

In Bonus Reels mode, the game is played at 10x the regular bet, with all paid symbols removed and only bonus symbols appearing, increasing the odds of winning in all bonus games.

• The theoretical RTP (return to player) in Bonus Reels mode is 96.10%.

Enhanced Spin

The “Enhanced Spin” feature is activated only by pressing the “Enhanced Spin” button in the main game. Activating the “Enhanced Spin” feature increases the base bet by 50% and doubles the chance of triggering the bonus round. While the “Enhanced Spin” feature is active, the bonus purchase option is disabled.

• The theoretical RTP (return to player) for the “Enhanced Spin” feature is 96.10%.

All variations of the Wild symbol substitute for all symbols on the reels when calculating wins, with the exception of bonus symbols. The maximum win in the game is 10,000 times the regular bet. If the total win exceeds this amount, the game round ends, and the player is awarded a win equal to 10,000 times the regular bet. If your balance falls below the selected bet amount, the bet amount will automatically decrease to the maximum allowed. (Applies depending on the market)

Game Rules

Base game Equalizer Feature

At the start of each spin in the main game, there’s a chance to activate the Equalizer feature. 1, 2, 3, or 4 features can be triggered in any combination. Wild Jam: 1-8 random Wild symbols are added to reels 2, 3, 4, or 5 before any other symbols from the paytable.

In Twin Riff Split, 6-10 random positions on the reels are highlighted before any symbol from the paytable (except for Wilds from the Wild Jam feature). Symbols that subsequently occupy these positions are duplicated and count as two symbols in each position.

The Twin Riff Split doubling effect can affect the Wilds added by the Wild Jam feature. Fired Up Multiplier: At the end of a winning spin, a multiplier appears that combines with the total win, multiplying the amount by 2-10x. Symbol Upgrade: Low-paying symbols cannot appear while this effect is active.

Pick Mode Rules

• Landing 3, 4, or 5 bonus symbols activates the Bonus Selection mode.
• Landing 3 bonus symbols allows players to choose between the Behind the Scenes Bonus and the Single Player Bonus.
• Landing 4 bonus symbols allows players to choose between the Behind the Scenes Super Bonus and the Single Player Super Bonus.
• Landing 5 bonus symbols allows players to choose between the Behind the Scenes Ultra Bonus and the Single Player Ultra Bonus.

Backstage Bonus, Super Bonus & Ultra Bonus Game Rules

Bonus symbols can appear on all reels of the main game.

The Behind the Scenes Bonus is activated by landing 3 bonus symbols anywhere in the main game, then selecting the Behind the Scenes Bonus from the selection mode.

The Behind the Scenes Super Bonus is activated by landing 4 bonus symbols anywhere in the main game, then selecting the Behind the Scenes Super Bonus from the selection mode.

The Behind the Scenes Ultra Bonus is activated by landing 5 bonus symbols anywhere in the main game, then selecting the Behind the Scenes Ultra Bonus from the selection mode.

• Behind the Scenes Bonus: 8 free spins and an active Wild Jam.

The Equalizer feature, which is always active, will trigger with every spin until the end of the bonus rounds. Collect bonus symbols to fill the progress bar and upgrade your electric guitar. Five bonus symbols are required to complete the upgrade. Bonus symbols do not have to appear on the same spin and can appear anywhere on the reels.

The progress bar tracks your progress and shows how many bonus symbols are needed for the next upgrade. The equalizer displays currently active features. Each time one or more bonus symbols land, they fly to the progress bar at the end of a spin.

Filling each ladder unlocks a new permanently active “Equalizer” feature and grants +5 spins. Continue filling the ladder to unlock a maximum of four permanently active features. If all features are already unlocked, filling the ladder again will grant +5 spins. Landing 3 bonus symbols anywhere in a single spin awards +3 spins.

In the Backstage Bonus and Backstage Super Bonus bonus games, features always upgrade in the same order: first “Twin Riff Split,” then “Fired Up Multiplier,” and finally “Symbol Upgrade.”

In the Backstage Ultra Bonus mode, features are always upgraded in the same order: first “Fired Up Multiplier,” then “Symbol Upgrade.”

Solo Mode Bonus, Super Bonus & Ultra Bonus Games Rules

Bonus symbols can appear on all reels of the main game.

The Single Bonus is activated by landing 3 bonus symbols anywhere in the main game, then selecting the bonus in Single mode from the Pick mode.

The Super Bonus in Single mode is activated by landing 4 bonus symbols anywhere in the main game, then selecting the Super Bonus in Single mode from the Pick mode.

With each level, the speed increases, up to a maximum of 10 times. A level indicator tracks the current level. The collection bar at the bottom determines which drum you’ll collect.

Any coins or upgrades trapped within the Collector Rod are instantly awarded to the player. The Collector Rod moves one step at a time, left or right, and cannot pass through walls. Monitor your current energy level using the energy indicator. The energy level in the indicator decreases constantly.

The bonus round continues until all the energy is depleted and the energy bar is empty. Collect batteries of three different sizes to refill the bar. Coins vary in value, and each increases your bet.

• Small Coins 1-5X.
• Medium Coins 10-75X.
• Large Coins 100-500X.
• Epic Coin 1000X.

All coins collected are instantly added to your total winnings. Collect the Guitar God booster to receive a temporary boost. While the Guitar God is active, high-value coins appear more frequently. Collect the Expander to expand your collection bar, allowing it to cover all reels simultaneously and collect all coins on the screen when they collide. Once activated, the collection bar returns to its normal size.
