Xi You Ji: Sun Wukong and friends on a 5x3 SBOBET slot

Watch the five boxes over the reels when you change your bet. At Rp12.50 a spin, the Grand read 12,500 and the Mini 625. Drop to Rp1.25 and they fall to 1,250 and 62.50. They move with your stake, so a "Grand" here is a multiple of what you bet, not a big shared pot.

The theme is Xi You Ji, the old tale of the monk Tang Sanzang and his three disciples: Sun Wukong the Monkey King, the pig-man Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing. The game opens in SBOBET's own window, with a "Max payout per bet" notice and a Close game button sitting above it.

Symbols on the reels

It's a plain 5x3 grid inside a gold frame with a dragon curling over each top corner. The low symbols are 10, J, Q, K and A in bright colours. The picture symbols include the Monkey King, a bearded warrior holding a crescent spade, a young woman with a sprig of leaves, a purple folding fan and a red scroll.

Wins pop up on a red scroll across the middle. The bottom bar is simple: menu, Win, the Bet with minus and plus, autoplay and a big spin arrow.

Down the left edge hangs a column of red lanterns. In later spins the bottom one glows, so it looks like a progress meter of some kind. Nothing in our screenshots explains it.

Lanterns aside, read the help

The help window covers Game Overview, Game Features, Bonus Features, Playing the Game, Game Controls, Autobet and a Mobile Settings Menu. I'd open Bonus Features before playing. The old page described a tile-picking bonus with 2x, 3x and 5x multipliers, but we never saw it on screen.

More slots from this lobby are on the SBOBET hub, and the SBOBET casino overview explains where the games sit next to the sportsbook. Playing needs an SBOBET account ID.
