The Wizard of Oz Slot

Review of Wizard of Oz

“The Wizard of Oz” is a movie based game brought to our screens by online slot producers, WMS.

Slot Theme

This slot offering is based on the 1939 film of the same name. Dorothy and her dog, Toto find themselves misplaced by a Torando. Finding that they have landed in a magical faraway land called Oz, they recruit an unlikely cast of misfits in the form of a tin man, scarecrow, and a cowardly lion, to help them find the Wizard of Oz  (who stays in the Emerald City), so that they can get back home to Kansas.

You’ll need to join the crew in following the yellow brick road, and help the team defeat the Wicked Witch of the West and her flying monkey minions, and get Dorothy safely to see the Wizard. Rich rewards are your fortune, should you be successful in your mission.

Symbols and Soundtrack

The beautiful song of “Somewhere over the rainbow,” taken from the movie soundtrack is the musical highlight of this reel adventure, producing a typical sing a long on your side of the screen.

The symbols seem a little dated, but are made up for with the animated antics of the bonus feature rounds. Each symbol is taken directly from the story, and remains true to the theme on offer. These include Ruby slippers, a tornado, hot air balloon, Dorothy’s house, Toto the dog, Dorothy, the Wicked Witch, and the three famous friends (lion, scarecrow, and tin man).

The substituting ‘wild’ symbol to look out for is the “Wizard of Oz” game logo. There is also a Jackpot icon, that resembles the Emerald City, and is used to trigger the main feature.

Bonus Features

There are primarily 2 bonus features in this game, however the main feature is split into three varieties of games, so technically WMS offer you a whopping 4 extra intrigues on top of the base game:

Glynda’s Stacked Wilds

Glynda the good witch can randomly appear on screen and turn between 1 and 5 reels totally wild to increase the chances of you winning great combinations. This is an awesome little add on.

Main Feature

This feature is activated when you land 3 Emerald City Jackpot symbols onto reels 1, 3, and 5. You will then be able to choose from 3 offerings:

• Instant Cash - There is an option to choose a multiplier that will turn your stake into instant cash back in your pocket.
• Winged Monkey Free Spins - This is a feature offering you 8 free spins. The flying monkeys will  make an appearance turning random symbols ‘wild’ to boost combination wins throughout the feature.
• Road To Emerald City Feature – This is a pick 'n choose game, where you will be afforded the opportunity of picking cash prizes and other awards. In this feature you may even get to meet the wizard himself.

Summary of Wizard of Oz

This WMS slot rendition offers you a great variety of entertainment, and will therefore appeal to those who like multiple features in a game. Wizard of Oz story fans will love the slot offering, and will most probably take joy in recognising features of the game from the book and movie renditions. The free spins round is the special delight of this package, but whatever your choice, fun is guaranteed.
