Quest to the West

This is yet another attempt to adapt the reels to a legendary Chinese book written hundreds of years ago. 

The story has survived the test of time, and keeps getting reincarnated!

The story which takes us through China, and gets us to experience one of the country’s most popular legends, Quest To The West...

...is another excellent designed BetSoft Gaming release. 

The game shows up with its 5x3 reels and delivers 25 pay lines with amazing features among which you will discover the Monkey King Walking Wilds, the re-spins which they can offer, but also…

...a bonus that can pay instantly 1,000x the stake, called Meter of the Heaven.

Are you ready for an adventure of a lifetime?

Theme & Design

This is not nearly the first studio to adapt the legendary Chinese novel written in the 16th century, to the reels.

With this classic Eastern Asian themed title...

...you get a chance to follow the path of the Monkey King as you journey to lands unknown to discover riches of the West.

The release stars all the main characters, including Sun Wukong also known as the Monkey King, the monk Tang Sanzang, Tang’s helper Zhu Baje, and Sha Wujing.

There is also the White Dragon Horse, the Dragon King of the West Sea, lotus flowers, and, of course, card icons from Ace to ten.

The Monkey King is born out of a rock and fertilized by the grace of heaven and earth.

Not only is he highly intelligent, but he learned all the magic and tricks from a famed Toaist master.

A very good design overall, especially if you look at the background image where...

...you will notice the gorgeous temples, waterfalls and mountains.

The story also stars reels represented by a vintage old parchment paper roll and...

...sound effects with a special, oriental soundtrack unique to this title.

Betting Options

You can get involved in this Oriental story with a minimum of $0.02 per spin and...

...go up to $80.

Though the rewards aren’t going to be at head-turning values, that jackpot of up to 1260.5x the stake can still mean over $100,000. 

With Medium volatility, the game doesn’t carry a huge amount of risk in the short term, and...

...with the RTP being at 97.53%, it’s one of the best options that you will find right now.

The grid consists of five reels, three rows, and 25 fixed win lines.

• Tang Sanzang is the most valuable symbol of the paytable, and it is worth up to 1.50x the line stake for its five-of-a-kind combination.
• Zhu Baje or Sha Wujing will help you collect up to 0.80x the line stake
• The White Dragon Horse pays up to 0.32x the line stake.
• The Dragon King of the West Sea reaches up to 0.24x the line stake for a five-of-a-kind combination.

Special Symbols

• The Monkey King is the Wild card, and though it does not pay on its own...

Special Features

Seek out the Monkey King Walking Wilds to win big in this rich 5x3 video game!

On the one hand, these will be substituting symbols, which you may combine with all sorts of regular symbols, and hopefully get more wins this way, while...

...on the other hand, it’s also going to have a component which allows it to move around, over several rounds, so it could assist with even more wins!

Plus...

...Once you manage to collect 3 Monkey King Wilds, you will trigger Free Spins!

For this feature, you will find that the Monkey King Wilds will move towards the left side, one position at a time, and...

...once there are no more Monkey Kings in view, having all left the reels, the free spins are over.

Meter of the Heavens is another one that’s to note...

...a feature that pays upon having 15 Monkey King symbols collected in a single round.

The crazy part is...

...it pays 1,000x the stake, as soon as this happens.

To Conclude

This themed title promises hours of entertainment, and golden winnings too!

Quest To The West is a lovely game, with Medium volatility which allows most players to give it a try, and...

...a very high RTP which makes it one of the better options in its category.
