Quest to the West Slots
Quest to the West is a video online slot game with an Animal, Mythology and Asian theme and was released by creative and iconic developers Betsoft in May of 2020. This whimsical fantasy game was inspired by Journey to the West, a very popular Chinese novel published in the 16th century during the Ming dynasty and which became widely known in English speaking countries. It follows a certain Buddhist monk who travels to the west in search of spiritual texts.
Besides an inspiring cartoonish design players can look forward to an engaging narrative and a bounty of rewarding and attractive bonus features with instant payouts of up to 1,260x players stake when they fill up the Meter of the Heavens which tracks progress for bigger rewards.
The gaming grid is traditional and is comprised of 5 reels with 3 rows and 25 paylines to make wins. Players will need at least three and up to five matching and identical symbols that pay out from left to right on adjacent reels to achieve payouts. The highest win per line pays with multiple line wins being cumulatively multiplied by the stake.
The background features a mountainous landscape, complete with a forest and a traditional temple and the vibrant design is clearly inspired by traditional chinese ink paintings. A musical soundtrack complements the asian theme perfectly and features an orchestra of stringed instruments which adds some immersive flair.
The RTP (Return to Player Percentage) is 97,53% which further enhances appeal and this game plays with medium volatility. This means that there is little risk in the short term and punters can expect a steady drizzle of frequent medium sized wins along their gameplay with a balanced risk to reward scenario that maintains excitement.
Wagers will firstly need to be placed to begin spinning the reels and these start from a modest and minimum bet of $0.02 per spin and up to a maximum of $80 per spin. This generous and flexible betting range nicely accommodates a wide range of punter from novices to those who are more experienced.
A useful optional key Autoplay button allows for a number of spins to be pre automated before hand and this can help those who are conscious of maintaining a gaming budget. Likewise, it is a handy tool for those who dislike manual play and prefer more fluidity in their gaming sessions.
The wild symbol is the legendary Monkey King himself and three or more of this symbol will trigger the special Quest to the West round with free spins. He can also substitute for other gaming symbols which enhances players chances of winning and they also trigger exciting respins. Each time the Monkey King walks off the reels from one position to the left he fills up the Meter of the Heavens for one level which adds a lot of dynamic flair. This innovative mechanic keeps the anticipation high as the respins continue until all the Monkey Kings have left the reels.
There are a total of 15 levels in the meter and once it becomes full, the riches from heaven will fall and lucky punters get to earn an instant payout of 1,000x their total bet so every spin feels rewarding.
Other high paying symbols include the Buddhist Prince, the Warrior and Pig Man and players can earn with five Princes 1,125x their bet when the maximum bet is placed. Five Warriors or five Pig Men will earn the identical amount of 600x the maximum bet.

The lowest paying symbols are the traditional playing cards Ace through to 10 providing frequent and smaller wins and where punters can earn 90x, 75x and 60x for a full set of five of a kind.
