Journey to the West slot review (Pragmatic Play)

Journey to the West is one of Pragmatic Play’s most popular slots, and it is easy to see why

It features spectacular graphics, stacked wilds and an exciting build-your-own free spins bonus.

This Eastern-themed, 25 pay line slot offers a medium variance and a Return To Player of 96.47%. Just the way we like it!

Once the free spins bonus is activated, choose between 5 different free spins bonus games, each with their variance and risk.

How does Journey to the West work?

The game is played on a 5 reel, 25 pay line configuration. The minimum bet is just $0.25 per spin, and the maximum bet per spin is capped at $125. These betting levels are comfortable for both the low stakes, casual player and the hardcore, high-rolling gambler.

The premium symbols consist of 4 beautifully designed, unique characters: the Monkey, the Prince, The Pig and the Warrior.

The wild symbol is stacked and substitutes all other symbols except the scatter symbol. The wild symbol is also the highest paying symbol: 5 wilds on an active win line will pay 16 times your total stake. The monkey is the second highest paying symbol, yielding 4 x your stake on a 5-of-a-kind. The other premium symbols pay between 1 x – 2 x your stake.

All the high paying symbols are stacked to help you get those big wins.

The low paying symbols all pay less than 1 x your total stake.

Free Spins Bonus

3 or more Free Spins symbols trigger the Free Spins Bonus. You win 5 free spins with extra multipliers, ranging from 1 x (the Wild symbol) to 5 x (The Warrior). The symbol you select is extra stacked during the free spins, which gives you the option to determine your variance during the free spins.

We usually go for the Wild symbol or the Monkey because we like to take a little risk once in a while. If you want to be a little less extreme, choose one of the other options.

It is possible to retrigger the free spins. Each 3 or more scattered Free Spins Bonus symbols will award another 3 free spins. There is no limit to the number of free spins you can get during the bonus.

Our verdict on the Journey to the West slot

Pragmatic Play has done it again. Their fantastic team of creative designers have built an online slot that is both amazing to look at and offers big thrills at the same time.

The RTP of 96.47% is pretty good as well, and we love the option of the “build-your-own” bonus rounds.

All in all, an excellent release by Pragmatic Play and a slot that many will enjoy for years to come.
