Guitar Quest – Real Money Play

Turn the volume up and get ready to play the perfect riff with Guitar Quest, a rock-themed online slot from Relax Gaming that puts a musical spin on the familiar ways-to-win format. With a 5x4 grid, 1,024 ways to win and a collection of features that can completely change a spin, there’s more going on here than just waiting for the reels to land.

The game comes with a 94% RTP at BetWright and high volatility, making it one for players who don't mind a little patience between potentially rewarding moments. The real highlight though, comes when the bonus arrives, as you get to choose between two completely different ways to play.

Guitar Quest Game Details

Guitar Quest takes its inspiration from the world of rock music, with guitars, drums, microphones and band-inspired characters filling the reels. The presentation goes beyond the visuals too, with an evolving soundtrack that ramps up as the game's features get involved.

The 5x4 grid uses 1,024 ways to win, with matching symbols needing to land on consecutive reels from left to right. Exact positions don't matter, so there's plenty of room for winning combinations to form across the reels.

The slot's high-value symbols are based around the rock theme, while the lower-paying symbols use familiar card values. With a 94% RTP and high volatility, Guitar Quest is designed to deliver a more variable experience.

Equalizer Feature

Before you even reach the bonus, Guitar Quest has a trick or two up its sleeve. The Equalizer can randomly activate at the beginning of a base game spin, bringing up to four different modifiers into play.

These include:

• Wild Jam – Adds between one and eight random Wilds to the reels.
• Twin Riff Split – Duplicates symbols landing in selected reel positions, including Wilds added by Wild Jam.
• Fired Up Multiplier – Applies a random multiplier between 2x and 10x to the total win from the spin.
• Symbol Upgrade – Removes the four lowest-paying symbols from the reels, leaving more room for higher-value symbols.

The Equalizer can activate different combinations of these features, meaning some spins can look very different from others. When multiple modifiers work together, particularly Wild Jam and Twin Riff Split, the potential for larger combinations increases.

Guitar Quest Bonus Feature

Landing three or more Bonus symbols anywhere on the reels triggers the game's main bonus features. This is where Guitar Quest does something a little different.

Rather than launching into a standard free spins round, you're given a choice between two bonus modes:

Backstage Bonus or Solo Mode.

Each one takes a completely different approach, so the decision isn't just a cosmetic one.

Backstage Bonus

Backstage Bonus is Guitar Quest's take on traditional free spins, but there's a progression system that makes the feature more interesting as it develops.

With three Bonus symbols, the feature begins with 8 free spins, with Wild Jam already active. Bonus symbols collected during the feature help you progress through a ladder, with each completed level awarding five additional spins and unlocking another Equalizer feature permanently for the remainder of the bonus.

If three Bonus symbols land together during the feature, another three spins are awarded.

Triggering the bonus with four or five Bonus symbols gives you a stronger starting position, with additional spins and Equalizer features already unlocked.

The further you progress, the more modifiers become active. Reach the top level and all four Equalizer features can be working simultaneously, creating a much busier final stretch.

Solo Mode

If Backstage Bonus sounds a little too conventional, Solo Mode takes Guitar Quest in a completely different direction.

Instead of playing on the usual reels, you're dropped into a rhythm-game-style bonus featuring a fretboard. Notes move across the screen while a Collector Bar sweeps from side to side, collecting coin values as it goes.

The coin values range from:

• Small: 1x-5x
• Medium: 10x-75x
• Large: 100x-500x
• Epic: 1,000x

Solo Mode features 10 levels, with the pace increasing as you progress. The higher you climb, the more intense the action becomes.

There are also a few special items to look out for. Batteries recharge the energy meter that keeps the feature running, while the Guitar God Booster temporarily increases the frequency of higher-value coins. The Expander can also widen the Collector Bar across the entire grid.

Your starting level depends on how many Bonus symbols triggered the feature, with three symbols starting at Level 1, four at Level 2 and five at Level 3.

Which Guitar Quest Bonus Should You Choose?

That's entirely down to what sort of experience you're after.

Backstage Bonus is the more traditional option, with free spins, progression and increasingly powerful modifiers. It suits players who like watching a feature build momentum over time.

Solo Mode is much more unique, turning the bonus into a fast-paced coin collection game where timing, movement and an increasingly frantic rhythm take centre stage.

Neither option is simply a better version of the other. They're designed to offer two distinctly different experiences within the same slot, which is one of Guitar Quest's strongest ideas.

Guitar Quest Summary

Guitar Quest doesn't just slap some guitars onto a standard slot and call it a day. The rock theme runs through the presentation, soundtrack and bonus mechanics, while the choice between Backstage Bonus and Solo Mode gives the game a genuine point of difference.

The Equalizer also keeps the base game moving, with Wilds, symbol upgrades, multipliers and duplicated symbols capable of changing the reels from one spin to the next.

Its high volatility means it won't necessarily be everyone's cup of tea, but players who enjoy more unpredictable slots should find plenty to get stuck into. And when the bonus arrives, you get to choose whether you want to take the traditional route backstage or grab your guitar and go solo.
