How to Play pokie

Journey to the West is a video slot that features 5 reels and 25 paylines across a 15-symbol matrix. All lines are always active on default.

You can bet between 4 cents and 80 euro per spin.

The video slot offers the following options:

  • Basic symbols;
  • Wild/Scatter;
  • Free respins with bonus options.

Hit at least 3 same symbols next to each other and land a winning combination at one of 25 active lines. One of the symbols must be on the leftmost reel. One spin may result in multiple wins.

Payoffs depend on the current bet and multipliers. Unlike most of the other BetSoft slots, Journey to the West doesn't offer a gamble feature. All money goes to the player's balance at the end of each spin.

The main character of most of the "Journey to the West" inspired slots is Sun Wukong – the Monkey King. He has a special value in the BetSoft game too, but you will also find other characters on the reels.

The design of the slot matches the theme. The reels were designed in the style of parchment paper. You can see a colorful mountain view with a shining castle in the background.

Symbols, Wild, Scatter

You will land the following basic symbols on the reels of Journey to the West video slot:

  1. Characters: Xuan Zang, another monk, and a pig-man.
  2. Dragon, white horse, pink lotus.
  3. J, Q, K, A faces along with 10.

None of the regular symbols arrive in a stacked formation.

The only special symbol:

  • Monkey Wild (Sun Wukong) substitutes other symbols when necessary. 3 wilds on the screen will trigger the bonus feature of Journey to the West.
