The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a children’s novel written by L Fran Baum in 1900. It has been presented on stage and in movies and enjoys tremendous evergreen popularity. It narrates the adventures of Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Woodman and Lion, who are seeking the Wizard of Oz to get something missing from their lives. The latest video slot from Microgaming, titled Book of Oz, is loosely based on this classic. It has been developed by Triple Edge Studios exclusively for Microgaming online casinos like Roxy Palace, Lucky Nugget and Platinum Play. Book of Oz is available on both desktop and mobile gaming platforms.

The reels are set in Emerald City the home of the Wizard of Oz. The five reels, three rows and ten paylines structure give the video slot high volatility. The Wizard, looking more like a modern day magician, awards the highest payout of 5000 times the line bet. The high paying symbols are potions for the qualities some of the main characters were lacking. There is courage for the Lion, love for the Tin Woodman and intelligence for the Scarecrow. The low paying symbols are ornately designed playing card icons. The Book of Oz is both the scatter symbol and the wild symbol. As a wild symbol it substitutes for other symbols and as a scatter symbol it awards payouts multiplied by the total bet. Three, four or five scatter symbols trigger 10, 12 or 25 free spins. In each free spin there will be a randomly chosen symbol that will appear expanded on the reels. The free spins can be retriggered.

Book of Oz video slot comes with the Respin Feature. Microgaming had introduced this feature in some of its own video slots a few years ago. Triple Edge has included this to add interactivity and volatility in the base game. After any spin, an amount will be displayed below each reel. The player can pay this amount to respin that reel only, keeping others fixed. For example, after a winning spin of four Wizard symbols, you can pay to respin the fifth reel to try to get five of a kind. Changing the bet amount disables the feature for the first spin thereafter.

Brendan Walton, Design Lead at Triple Edge Studios, pointed out that Book of Oz was their fifth video slot released this year. He asked Microgaming players to stay tuned for more exciting games in the future.
