Journey to the West Slots

Journeys have featured in all kinds of slots, and we have another one of those for you here – featuring a Journey to the West. 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?

The penny is in place as the cheapest coin, giving you a 25-cent starting bet. There are other coins available as well, with 50 cents as the largest of those.

What about special symbols to look for?

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?

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.

Is the Journey to the West slot 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. There aren’t any free games to find, but those respins are a good alternative to check out if you can get them.
