Magic Journey Slot Overview

Magic Journey is a casino slot by Pragmatic Play, inspired by the Chinese novel “Journey to the West” published in the 16th century. The story is heavily influenced by Ancient Chinese mythology and Buddhism but is based initially on the pilgrimage of the real-life Buddhist monk Xuanzang. Xuanzang traveled to India to retrieve Buddhist scrolls and bring them back to China, a story the novel follows with new characters. The book's main character is Sun Wukong, the Monkey King. After rebelling against the heavens, Sun Wukong is buried underneath a mountain for 500 years by the Buddha. Then, he will go with Tang Sanzang, the character portraying Xuanzang, to the west with his disciples, Zhu Bajie, the half-pig half-man, and Sha Wuijing, the sand troll. The disciples and Sun Wukong have all been cast out of heaven and are to redeem themselves by accompanying Tang Sanzang. They face many challenges and new characters from Chinese mythology, like the God Nezha, the Goddess Chang’e, and the evil Bull Demon King.

Magic Journey is a 5x1 game with a scorecard containing a fixed 3x3 grid of symbols featuring all the characters of Journey to the West, like Tan Sanzang, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wuijing, and Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong is the Respin symbol and works as the middle piece of the scorecard. The goal of the game is to hit one of the fixed paylines on the scorecard with symbols from the spin, and every time a set payline lands, a respin is triggered, keeping the symbols on the scorecard highlighted. Landing a Respin Symbol will always trigger a respin and keep the symbols in the spin highlighted, even if a payline was not hit.
