Journey To The West​

Journey to the West is a thrilling online slot from Genesis Gaming that takes players on an epic journey through Ancient China. This 25-payline game comes equipped with all sorts of generous bonus features, including extra wilds, re-spins and a battle round!

Based On An Ancient Tale​

Journey to the West is based on an ancient Chinese novel of the same name. It is about the travels of Monk Tang and his disciples as they seek out an arhat (a Sanskrit word for ‘perfect person’). As legend has it, anyone who eats the flesh of this creature, they will acquire their power and achieve eternal life.

Along the way, they encounter all sorts of evil beasts, but Monk Tang and his devotees (the Monkey King, Pig and Sandy) all have superpowers that help them along their path. This is quite a popular story in Chinese culture, and it has inspired other slots, too! In fact, Yggdrasil's Monkey King slot is based on Journey to the West.

Genesis Gaming’s slot does a great job of depicting this ancient tale, with symbols feature all of the main characters in the tale. The graphics are animated in a sleek yet traditional style, with a waterfall flowing in the background at all times. A wide range of wagers is available on this 25 payline slot, from 25p to £50. It is a reasonable range for players with all types of budgets.

Prophet Enlightenment Bonus​

There are three different bonus features based on each of the main characters in the story.

• Sandy: This is called the Wild Attack Bonus, where all enemy symbols are turned into wilds
• Monkey King: In the Monkey King Pick Bonus, during which you pick from tiles to reveal enemies. Every enemy you reveal will award you with a cash prize
• Pig: In the Cannonball Bonus, Pig will jump into the waterfall and make a huge splash, turning a random number of symbols wild
• Monk: This is a re-spin bonus during which the monk and lotus symbol land on the reels and all enemy symbols remain locked in place. At the end of the re-spin, each enemy symbol awards a 100 coin prize

Skeleton Queen Battle​

Throughout the base game, you’ll collect Golden Peach symbols. Once you collect 7, you’ll enter the final battle bonus round during which you are pitted against the evil Skeleton Queen. This is more like an arcade game than an online slots bonus, and players are actually in charge of the outcome. Depending on the number of life points Monk Tang has at the end of the round, you’ll win a prize worth between 50 coins and 200 coins.
