Legacy of Oz Slots
This game is graphically a masterpiece - but they did have great content to work with in the first place. There is mysterious and suspenseful music that plays, helping to evoke an ethereal and otherworldly atmosphere. There aren't as many options for slots based on the Wizard of Oz, not compared to say, Egyptian slots anyways, so I was eager to try out this one. This game allows players to follow the yellow brick road to riches. The minimum bet you can place is 0.10 pounds, while the highest bet is 40 pounds. The maximum win you can trigger during your gaming session is 5,000x. You can win up to 200,000 pounds if you get lucky!
Symbols
The grid in this game is placed in the magical and legendary realm of Oz. The slot is decorated with tons of emerald green and oz-based imagery. The lower paying symbols on the reels are the A to 10 royals, which is a standard Microgaming feature. The other lower-paying symbols are the magical potion bottles, which come in the colors red, purple, and blue. The magician symbols are more rewarding - these symbols pay out as much as 500x the total stake! There is also a book of spells that is the scatter symbol. The board pays from left to right. If you land 3, 4, or 5 scatters, you'll be rewarded with a payout of 2x, 20x, or 200x your total stake.
Hyper Spins
The Hyper Spins feature appears at the end of any regular spin. Players can choose to make a payment and respin one of the reels again. The prize of the respin will depend on the combination you're trying to respin on, but this sort of feature can lead to some lucrative payouts if you use it correctly.
Free Spins
The scatter symbols trigger the game bonus. The winnings from the bonus will be dependent on the bet, of course. If you land 3-5 scatters anywhere on the reels, you'll receive a nice payout. 3 scatters payout 2x, while 4 scatters payout 20x and 5 payouts reward 200x your total stake. You'll also receive 8-20 free spins. You can retrigger the bonus round, but you'll need to land 2, 3, 4 or 5 more book scatters to do so. Before your free spins begin, one symbol will be randomly selected. This symbol will be one of the expanding symbols, which are highlighted with yellow. If this special symbol appears anywhere on the board during the free spins round, you'll get paid - even if it's not adjacent.
Conclusion
So, if you're wondering whether or not you should tap your sparkling ruby slippers and head home - don't! This is a great game that's more than worth giving a try. There were enough win opportunities that I knew I shouldn't pass this slot up. It's easy to learn, and even an inexperienced slot player would easily feel comfortable giving this slot a few spins. The best part of this game is players only need 2 scatters to retrigger the bonus - which doesn't always occur in games with exceptional themes.
