Journey to the West Slots

Journeys have featured in all kinds of slots, and we have another one of those for you here – featuring Journey to the West Slots. There is a clue in that title too, so let's get underway with our review to find out what's in store.

Reels and paylines to expect in this game

You can play over five reels, and there are 25 lines to bet on too.

Speaking of bets, how much does it cost to play?

Coin sizes range from 0.01 to 0.50, with up to 10 coins per line across the 25 paylines, for a maximum bet of 125.

What about special symbols to look for?

The game embraces a Chinese mythology theme with symbols including the Monkey King, Pig Man, Warrior, Prince, Horse, Dragon, Lotus, and classic royals A, K, Q, J. Would it surprise you to realize there is a Monkey King in this game? It surprised us, but the Eastern theme (we're journeying to the West here, remember) makes sense of it. He is the wild icon, replacing everything else in the game. You don't get the chance to hunt for a scatter.

What about bonus features in Journey to the West Slots?

Three Monkey King wilds in one spin of the reels will fix them all in place for one free respin. Each wild then moves one position over to the left, and you receive another respin. These are walking wilds, then, and they go from east to west on the reels, hence the title.

You will also collect the wilds appearing in this respin element of the game. If you can complete the meter that holds them before the round is over, you can score an incredible 1,000x your bet for the spin that started the respins.

The game also features a Free Spins Feature offering 5 free spins.

Is the Journey to the West Slots one worth playing?

The demo should provide you with the answer to that. We think it's quirky enough, and since Betsoft is in control of the game, you can expect fine and detailed imagery throughout. The quest-type theme works well given the title and the walking wild element, so we think it provides you with a lot of potential. The respins and Free Spins Feature offer exciting alternatives to check out.
