Quest to the West

Quest to the West is Betsoft's take on the Journey to the West, the centuries old Chinese legend of the Monkey King and his pilgrimage in search of sacred scriptures. Australian pokies fans get a five reel slot dressed in temple reds and gold, with the Monkey King front and centre as the game's driving force. It plays in Australian dollars at the offshore casinos listed here, and if you just want to see how it moves, the free Quest to the West demo runs in your browser with no sign up. Players who search the Quest to the West RTP or want a low key Asian themed pokie will feel at home.

How Quest to the West plays

Quest to the West uses a five reel, three row layout with 25 paylines. Its calling card is the Monkey King walking wild. Whenever the Monkey King appears he substitutes for other symbols, then walks one reel to the left on each spin that follows, keeping the reels spinning until he leaves the grid. Collect three or more Monkey Kings and you launch the Journey of the West respins, which keep re-triggering while any Monkey King stays on screen. Each one you collect also tops up the Meter of the Heavens, and reaching fifteen during the round pays an instant win worth 1,000 times your stake. It is one clear feature done well, rather than a cluttered bonus menu.

Quest to the West RTP, volatility and max win

The published RTP is 97.53 percent, notably higher than the average online pokie, which is the sort of number return focused players look for. Volatility sits at medium, so the game balances frequent modest wins against the heavier payouts that arrive when the walking wilds line up or the Meter of the Heavens fills. The top win is roughly 1,260 times your stake. That keeps the risk sensible, favouring a steady session over the wild swings of a high variance release.

Playing Quest to the West in Australia

It is important to be clear about the rules here. Under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001, online pokies and casino games cannot be licensed for or advertised to Australian residents, so any online casino offering Quest to the West is licensed offshore, not in Australia. The casinos listed on this page operate from overseas jurisdictions and accept play in Australian dollars. You can always try the free demo first, which needs no account and puts no money at stake while you learn the walking wild mechanic.

Is Quest to the West worth playing?

For a straightforward, good value pokie, Quest to the West holds up well. The strong RTP, the moving Monkey King and the build toward the Meter of the Heavens give it a distinct rhythm, and medium volatility means it will not empty a balance in a hurry. If you enjoy legend led Asian themes, it is worth a look. Play within a set budget and keep it fun. If gambling stops being enjoyable, the responsible gambling page has support and self help tools.
