[PR] Evolution today announced the launch of Gonzo\u2019s Treasure Hunt\u2122, a ground-breaking online live game show and the world\u2019s first live casino game to bring together live and slots-style gameplay, and the first with the option to play in VR (Virtual Reality) mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspired by the famous Gonzo character and intellectual property (IP) from NetEnt\u2019s popular Gonzo\u2019s Quest\u2122 online slots title, the all-new Gonzo\u2019s Treasure Hunt\u2122<\/a> is the latest addition to Evolution\u2019s live game shows portfolio. Blending the worlds of live and slots<\/a> and representing \u201ca whole new direction\u201d, the new Gonzo live game show<\/a> is the first Evolution game to use NetEnt IP following Evolution\u2019s acquisition of NetEnt at the end of last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The central feature of Gonzo\u2019s Treasure Hunt\u2122 is the search for hidden treasures in a giant wall of 70 stones. A stand-out feature in this latest version of Gonzo\u2019s adventures is when the world-famous explorer \u2018comes alive\u2019 as an augmented reality virtual character and joins the live show hosts and players in the search. Another world first for the live casino market is the option to play and bet on Gonzo\u2019s Treasure Hunt\u2122 in VR mode using a Virtual Reality headset and controller, enriching the immersive gaming experience even further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Haushalter,\u00a0Chief Product Officer at Evolution<\/a>, said: \u201cThis is our first product that combines the best of NetEnt with Evolution.\u00a0I\u2019ve 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 live casino.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haushalter continued: \u201cThis 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\u2019s Treasure Hunt\u2122 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 \u2013 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.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
