Travel down the yellow brick road to hidden emerald riches in the mysterious land of Oz, in the 5-reel x 10-payline Book of Oz video slot from Microgaming, in collaboration with Triple Edge Studios. In-game benefits include a re-spin feature which you can use as often as you like, as well as re-triggerable Free Spins with expanding symbols, which could send your wins soaring up to 5000x your original wager. Book of Oz is playable on all devices and can be tested in free mode first.
Game Features
- The slot sports a cartoon style design and symbols include K, Q, J and 10 playing cards (low value) as well as keys, hearts, books, and the Wizard (high value).
- The book icon represents both the scatter and wild, so replaces all symbols to form winning combinations.
Bonus Features
- Re-spin
After any spin, you get the option to re-spin a reel of your choice at a small extra bet. Note that the less potential a reel has, the less it costs to re-spin. So, if for example you hit a jackpot symbol on reel 1 and 3, you may want to pay the extra and re-spin reel 2 to complete a three-of-a-kind.
- Free Spins
When 3, 4, or 5 Book of Oz symbols show up anywhere in sight, you will be rewarded with 10, 12, and 25 free spins respectively. In addition, a special symbol will be picked at random at the start of the feature. This symbol will expand to fill all the reel spots every time it appears. This feature can be triggered again and again when you hit the right amount of scatters.
Conclusion
Book of Oz is an exciting high-variance slot that is both visually and audio pleasing. Although the re-spin function isn’t unique, it does pay well when strategically applied. The real magic lies in the free spins rounds, where if you are favoured by Lady luck, you can expect rewards up to 5000x your stake when high-paying expanding symbols come into play. Book of Oz has a very respectable RTP of 96.5%
