WEST JOURNEY TREASURE HUNT SLOT GUIDE
The game has an RTP of 96% and a high variance. The slot machine offers free games, bonus rounds, and wild symbols that can increase your winning chances.
The game is based on a Chinese character named Zhu Bajie. He is a man with a pig’s head, and he was once a god. In the story, this man is mischievous, and the Jade Emperor, the one who governed the heavens, kicked him out. The same character is the basis for the Year of the Pig in the Chinese zodiac.
REEL SYMBOLS 101
Because of this background, you will be spinning symbols related to the myth. These symbols are:
- West 50
- Jade Emperor
- Monkey King
- Zhu Bajie
- Warrior
The game also has low-value symbols from A to K, and they pay between 3 and 25 coins.
BASE GAME SYMBOLS & PAYS
Here are the prizes for the winning combos. All of these are multipliers which would be applied to your bet per line. They do not change no matter what your wager is.
| PAYTABLE | |||||
| Number of Appearance in a Pay Line | SYMBOLS | ||||
| West 50 | Jade Emperor | Monkey King | Zhu Bajie | Warrior | |
| 5 | 50 | 40 | 18 | 18 | 18 |
| 4 | 18 | 12 | 11 | 11 | 11 |
| 3 | 8 | 7 | 5 | 5 | 5 |
| 2 | 2 | 1 | – | – | – |
At first, the payout looks confusing. On the betting area, you can choose to wager between 40 and 20,000 credits.
Since the slot game has 40 lines, it will charge 40 credits per spin. If you choose to bet 40 coins, the size of your bet per line is $0.01, and the bet cost in currency is $0.40 per spin.
However, if you choose to bet 20,000 coins, the size of your currency bet is also automatically adjusted to $200, which means that now, you are betting $5 per line. All pays are multiplied against the currency cost, not the coins you wagered.
BONUS GAMES & FEATURES
The game has several features like wild, scatter, and super stacks.
- Red Wild – the wild in the game is the block with a red background and text that says “wild”. It substitutes for all symbols except the scatter, and it also pays cash prizes. The prizes are:
- 5x – 2,500
- 4x – 500
- 3x – 250
- 3x – 50
This wild only appears during the free spins bonus round.
- Scatter – the scatter symbol is the green block with a red emblem on the middle. You have to land nine of this symbol on the middle reels to trigger the bonus free spins round. If you are lucky enough to trigger this round, you would receive eight free spins.
- Green Wild – this symbol looks like the red wild, but the background is green. Like the first wild, this symbol substitutes for all others to make a winning line except the scatter. It also pays money as shown below:
- 5x – 500
- 4x – 250
- 3x – 50
- 2x – 10
- Free Spins – during the free spins bonus, you have to pick a symbol from the high-value ones. This symbol you pick will become stacked symbols whenever it appears on the free spins. High-value symbols also carry a multiplier with them from 2x to 8x during the bonus round.
SUMMARY
We will rate West Journey Treasure Hunt with 7 out of 10 stars. The graphics are a little outdated, but there certainly are some great features here like the wild and scatter symbols. It is good to note that some high-value symbols only require two symbols to make a winning combo and not three.
