Sky Journey - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

A 5x3 layout with 20 paylines seems simple, but Sky Journey is full of excellent, charming graphics that’ll make you wish you were flying in a hot-air balloon. Then, if you’re lucky, you’ll trigger the free spins round or see your wild symbol walk across the reels bringing multipliers with it. There’s lots of fun to be had in this KA Gaming slot.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

KA Gaming free play slots are known for excellent graphics and a diverse range of themes, and Sky Journey is no exception. There’s a romance to the traditional idea of the aviator in hat and goggles. It’s an image of someone completely free, soaring above the rest of humanity, risking their own life in the hands of a fragile machine (not even a plane here, but a hot-air balloon). Sky Journey takes these concepts but does so in a fun way and with lots of character. The reels are unsurprisingly set against the sky with its blurred mix of blue and clouds, whilst gears lurk behind some of the symbols. Those symbols include some of the aviator’s most important tools, such as binoculars, pocket watch and bag, but there’s also an adorable chick with their own aviator outfit as well as the pilot. It should make you smile even before the lively, adventurous music starts playing when the reels begin to spin. 

Sky Journey RTP and Variance

One of the reasons we like our free slots is that being able to play without gambling real money reduces the risk. That’s especially important with a slot like Sky Journey, because KA Gaming appear to have taken the unusual step of not releasing any official RTP information, let alone variance. That means the only way to get a feel for the game and set your expectations is to give the free demo a few spins. Luckily, you can do that right here on Slots Temple.

How to Play Sky Journey

No pilot’s licence required:

1. When you first load the game the bet options window will be open. That means that the first thing to do is pick the appropriate amount for your budget and enjoyment of risk. Even in a free demo, practise good habits.
2. Once you’ve chosen your bet you can move to the game’s main screen. If you change your mind about your bet amount, the new bet and max bet buttons sit either side of the spin button just under the reels and towards the centre.
3. Also under the reels you’ll see your current bet amount and most recent win on the left and your overall balance on the right. Work out what you can afford so you don’t end up chasing losses and you can walk away relatively happy. 
4. The final button under the reels is an info button, which will take you to the game rules and paytable. You want to be as informed as possible before you start playing.
5. There is another button, though: the menu button at the top right corner. That’s were you’ll find the mute and full screen toggles, as well as links to your game history (also useful for responsible gambling) and other KA Gaming games.
6. With everything read and set, you’re ready to play. If you click the spin button, the reels turn once; if you hold it down, you’ll see autospin options. You can choose 25 to infinite automatic spins, but you can’t include your limits.

Take regular breaks and always play responsibly.

Bet & Win Sizes

Your bet options range from 0.20 to 300.00. Regular symbols are multiplied by the bet per line, scatters by the total bet, with each bet adjustment also changing what is displayed on the paytable.

If you start from the minimum bet, then your maximum wins come when you match five of each symbol across a payline:

10, J - 0.50

Q, K - 0.75

A - 1.00

Binoculars, Bag - 1.50

Pocket watch, Aviator bird - 2.50

Sky Journey logo (scatter) - 4.00

Human aviator - 5.00

Higher-value symbols (except scatter) pay from two or more matches; others pay from three or more.

Sky Journey Bonus Features

Free Spins

Triggering the free spins round is simple on paper, though you may need some luck to make it work in-game. All you need to do is find three or more scatter symbols:

3 scatters = 8 free spins

4 scatters = 12 free spins

5 scatters = 20 free spins

Walking Wild Feature

To trigger this feature you need the wild, shaped like a hot-air balloon, to fill an entire reel. You’ll get a re-spin, during which the hot air balloon will drift (or walk) one reel to the left. It will keep re-spinning and moving until it leaves all the reels behind. During your free re-spin, there will be a multiplier of 2x, 3x, 5x or 10x.

Sky Journey Review

A slot that’s full of charm and character as well as exciting bonus features and lots of chances to win. What more could you want? KA Gaming have done it again with Sky Journey, which may have a very different format to KA's Diamond Power slot but is still a thrilling game. It’s annoying not to have RTP and variance information, but don’t let that put you off.
