Pariplay, the igaming software provider serving operators, land-based casinos and lotteries, has released Xi You Ji, an original online video slot, ahead of exhibiting at ICE London.
Boasting evocative graphics and a range of special player features, Xi You Ji immerses players in the centuries-old legendary Chinese novel renowned in English as “Journey to the West”.
Xi You Ji is a five-reel, 25-line slot that allows players to follow in the footsteps of Xuanzang, a Tang dynasty Buddhist monk who explored the western regions of Asia in the 16th century. With authentic Chinese music in the background and matching symbols, players join a slots quest across Asia to find sacred scrolls.
A three-time scroll symbol triggers the Sacred Journey bonus, where players can collect multipliers and Xuanzang’s three disciples – Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing – for the chance to win the big prize of a 1,000x multiplier.
Additionally, players can enjoy the ‘Lantern Bonus’ game by filling them up to be awarded sticky wilds, a chance at 10, 15 or 20 free spins, cash prizes and an up-to 12x instant prize multiplier, as well as the chance to spin the Jackpot wheel. Players spin the wheel and win one of the five available jackpots worth between 50x and 1,000x multipliers.
Richard Mintz, commercial and marketing director at Pariplay, said: “In developing the gaming features for this title, we made sure to include elements that allow for extra winning potential to maximise player engagement.
“Xi You Ji recounts one of four of the greatest novels in Chinese literature, so it was important for us to accurately pay homage to the timeless story with incredible visuals that will keep customers returning to the game time and time again.”
