Journey to the West Slot

Overview

In case you’ve been playing online slot games for a while, you have probably noticed that there are many Oriental-inspired slot games. Pragmatic Play has decided to enrich this category with another title that we believe is a great addition. Journey to the West, despite its name, is an online slot that takes place in the Far East and has a wide array of interesting features.

Graphics & Theme

The theme of this game is obviously inspired by Chinese folklore and mythology. You can find the Monkey King in the main role and some other characters and symbols we usually relate to Ancient China.

The graphics are following the story and they look great. Instead of using dull playing cards symbols, they have included lively Chinese symbols. Other than that, the game features a few simple animations too and adequate sound effects and music.

Gameplay

Journey to the West has five reels and 25 paylines which mean that this is a conventional slot game. Changing the number of paylines is not an option, but you can easily adjust the size of the bets.

As we said before, the basic low-valued symbols are the ones that include Chinese letters and the higher paying symbols are featuring werewolves, pigs, a European-looking character, a Chinese prince and few other symbols.

Journey to the West has a wild symbol that does the same job as in other modern online slots – it replaced the rest of symbols to create a winning combination. This time the symbol looks like an emerald.

But, the most exciting symbol is the scatter symbol that will trigger profitable free spins. It comes in the form of climbing snakes. In case you manage to get three of these scatters, you will activate the popular free spins mode. You can use five free spins if you get three of them. However, there is a chance to get more free spins if you hit at least three scatters.

Before the free spins mode starts, players can select a multiplier and a stacked symbol too. There are five symbols to choose from. Analyze the combinations you have and select the one you believe is the best option for you.

Journey to the West is based on a familiar theme, but it does have some unique features and options.
