Those of us who are not familiar with Chinese novels, which is probably a vast majority of us, might be interested to know that this game from High 5 Games is based on the title, Journey to the West, which was published in the 16th century during the Ming dynasty, and it is attributed to Wu Cheng’en. It’s actually one of the Four Great Classical Novals of Chinese literature, although in English-speaking nations, it is more commonly known under the title of Monkey. It tells the story of the legendary pilgrimage of the Tang dynasty Buddhist monk Xuanzang, who travelled to various regions west from China, such as India and Central Asia. Here, he obtained Buddhist sacred texts, returning to his homeland after many trials and suffering. In this game, you will get to take the journey with Xuanzang and experience the tribulations set upon him in the time of his life. 

Prepare to Move West! 
As you get ready to embark westwards with your compatriots, you’ll need to be wary of a few things, which are included on this layout of five reels and three rows. Here, you’ll find several different icons, starting with the often seen A, J, K, Q and 10 symbols. The remaining symbols all relate to the underlying theme, being in the form of your travelling buddies. The first of these is a vicious warrior, clutching on to his spear who goes by the name of Sandy. There’s also the addition of Pigsy, who is actually a pig-headed creature with human torso, while the third icon is that of Monkey, who seems ready to fire off his bow and arrow, if needed. Xuanzang provides the fourth icon, while the game’s own logo is its fifth. 

The game has had a total of 40 different pay lines included in its layout, which accompany the reels, rows and icons very nicely. However, for those players who enjoy customising the amount of pay lines, you’ll find that this is very possible in West Journey Treasure Hunt. You’re also able to alter the amount of the wager that you place per spin, which can be done with the up and down arrows to the right hand side of the ??Per Line’ box. 

Be Wary on Your Expedition 
You could be jumped upon by raiding hoards of soldiers at any given time, so you’ll need to be prepared for a fight as you go. Fortunately, the developer of this game has included some special features to help you in your battles, starting with its ??Super Stacks’ addition. The reels contain stacks of symbols that transform into one of the standard icons, and the wild and scatter icon are also included in this. All stacked symbol positions on a reel transform in to one and the same. 

There’s also the addition of a ??Multiplier’ feature, and this is triggered whenever the game’s logo icon or one of the higher paying character symbols show up in all positions on three or more consecutive reels. This will then award a multiplier of between times two and times eight, ensuring higher pay outs are gained. 

As noted, there’s a wild symbol included in the game, and as a wild, this will stand in for any other on the reels, except for the scatter. This provides extra opportunities to form wins, and if five of the wild icons show up on a winning pay line, a maximum pay out of 2,500 coins can be awarded to you. 

Finally, the scatter icon is a Chinese piece of art, and this can only show up on reels two, three and four. If it comes into view in all positions on these reels, the freespins round will be initiated. This provides you with eight freespins of the reels, and the wild, multiplier and super stacks features are all active during this round as well.

West Journey Treasure Hunt is an oddly-named online slot machine from High 5 Games but one that seems based on Monkey, the Japanese television show from the late 1970s; it’s called West Journey Treasure Hunt and it seems that all our favourite legendary characters are here along with plenty of free spins.

There are 11 active playing icons, that can fill the spaces on the screen. High5Games offer not many winning combinations in the game. There are only five active lines in this video slot game. However, no one knows how many lines will stay there by the end of the gambling session. 

As Super Stacked option can bring many surprises, the player can get either 5 reminded reels or even 40 of them! There is also a wide betting range in the game, that can make it comfortable to play this slot machine for everyone! 

A minimal bet is one cent only per one line. Maximal bet in the game is 10 coins per one winning combination. In total, a player can waste 25 coins per one full spin of reels in the game. To regulate the bet, a gambler has to press the “minus” and “plus” buttons. They may be found on the bottom of the interface. Spinning the reels one by one, a player can win 1 000 000 jackpot with no odd moves!

West Journey Treasure Hunt is a five reel slot with three rows and forty fixed paylines; neat reels float against a rural backdrop of the type our little gang – Monkey, Pigsy, Tripitaka and Sandy – would traverse in their endless journey.

The higher value symbols include the games’ logo along with the characters listed above; 10, J, Q, K and A make up the lower values.The wild is a big. golden ??Wild’ which will replace all others to help form winning combos except for the ornate, red, gold and green scatter symbol.

Free spins? This is triggered by landing three full stacks of the scatter symbols on reels two, three and four for which you will receive eight free spins. Before the round starts pick one of those scatter symbols to reveal one of the high value icons – this will be stacked during this round and filling reels two, three and four with it will apply a multiplier of up to 8x for that win.

Unfortunately it’s not possible to trigger any more spins from within this round.
