Sun Wukong Introduction
This is a beautifully put together pokie, from the stunning mountain background to the symbols on the reels which animate when you pick up a win. Even the standard card symbols are presented as Chinese characters, which adds to the game aesthetic.
The characters will be familiar to anyone who knows the Chinese classic Journey to the West or the cult TV series from the 1980s - Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, Tripitaka or Xuanzang the Buddhist monk, Sha Wujing or Sandy and, of course, Zhu Bajie or Pigsy. They’re all here, and beautifully rendered and animated.
From Casual Players to High-Rollers
This pokie really does have all bases covered with bets from $0.15 to $1,250 - yes, you read that right - making this game attractive to pokie players across the spectrum. Adding to the clean and clear layout of this game are the game controls, which include the ability to increase and decrease your bets through simple + and - buttons and the clearly laid-out paytable.
Monkey Wild, Huge Payouts
With such potentially huge stakes, Sun Wukong needs to offer some big payouts - and it delivers. We’ve listed the paytable payouts for five across the reels of this five-reel, 15-payline pokie. All payouts are in coins: 9: 50; 10, J: 100; Q: 125; K, A: 150; Horse, Peach: 250; Sandy: 400; Pigsy, Tripitaka: 600; Monkey King: 10,000.
You’ll also get a 100 coin payout of 5x the Sun Wukong symbol, which doubles as the scatter. The Monkey King symbol is the wild in this game and substitutes for and doubles wins for all symbols except the scatter, which is the Sun Wukong symbol.
Triple Ways to Win with the Monkey King
You’ll start to see really big returns from this pokie when you hit the bonus games. You’ll need to spin up three or more Sun Wukong symbols and then make your choice. If your path lies through the Valley of the Sun, you’ll receive 20 free games with a 2x multiplier. If you prefer the peaks to the valleys, then your path will lead to the Mountain of Fruit and Flowers for 10 free games and a 4x multiplier.
Or ascend to the Kingdom of Heaven and select eight free games with a 5x multiplier. You can trigger more free spins during any of these bonus games.
The Wu Shi Jackpot
There’s some serious money on offer with one of four progressive jackpots that triggers randomly. Spin the wheel to collect three lion symbols that will determine which jackpot you play for - mini, minor, major or grand.

Should you journey to the west with the Monkey King for huge payouts, four progressive jackpots and lucrative bonus gameplay? Very definitely, yes!
