Wizard Oz Slot Machine Review

The Wizard of Oz slot machine is one of the truly classic games to have appeared in Las Vegas. When it was launched, it was totally original and unique, with fantastic features, lots of cool bonus rounds and surround sound effects.

In Vegas, Wizard of Oz can be found in all of the big casinos and most of the smaller ones too and there are quite a few versions available. The newer favorites include the Ruby Slippers game, Wicked Riches and the 3 reel versions.

Monkey In Wizard Of Oz

When this game was first released, it blew people away with it's unique features. It really took slot machine gaming to a whole new level with so many new and unique features, including the sound effects.

The makers of Wizard of Oz slots describe it as a ’sensory immersion gaming experience’. Now, normally that sort of thing sounds like pure marketing speak, but in the case it really described the new game very well (back when it was released)

What I really enjoyed when I first played Wizard of Oz in Vegas was the gaming chair with Bose powered surround sound system. The chair even vibrates when something big happens during the game. Now, that sort of thing is common, but back in the day, this was 100% new. It was really popular too, sometimes it was really hard to get to play the game, even at 3am in the casinos!

As you would hope, all the characters appear in the WOZ slot, including the Lion, the Scarecrow, Dorothy herself, Glinda the good witch and of course, it wouldn't be complete without the Wizard himself.

You may or may not be lucky enough to meet the Wizard when you play the game, as he is only seen when you are getting one of the 'Big Wins' featured when you work your way up the Oz bonus rounds.

The Flying Monkey Bonus Round

What is really great about this game is the sheer variety of different bonus features and the fact that all of them can give huge rewards.

For example, there is the Flying Monkey Bonus where the monkeys fly around the screen and pull out symbols which turn into Wilds. If you are lucky, this feature can continue for some time and if they start to create a lot of wilds on the screen you are virtually guaranteed to get a really big win.

Glinda the Good Witch Bonus

The Glinda (or is it Glenda?) appears at total random. I absolutely love it when this bonus is triggered, because when she is about to appear you get a vibration in the special seat and can hear a deep, low rumbling from the Bose speakers. At the same time, the reels start to spin a bit differently, creating an eerie feeling. At that moment, you know she will appear and it is so exciting!

When Glinda appears she waves her wand at the screen and one or two of the reels turns into stacked Wilds. However, if it is your day and luck is on your side, then she can turn the entire screen into Wilds. If that happens, you hit a super big win, which I think is around 10,000 times your bet. I am still waiting for that to happen to me :)

Other Games You Might Like

Other games from WMS include the famous Alice in Wonderland slots, which was almost as big a hit as the Wizard games when it was released, along with classics like Zeus and Kronos.

For something a bit different made by WMS, you could also try the gigantic reels games, which include Lil Red and also Spartacus, the game based on Gladiators - these games are really cool, with their unique game play.

The main reason to play Wizard of Oz is the bonuses because this game offers several quality features, which you can see below:

Glinda the Good Witch plays a role in helping Dorothy make it home, and she rules over the southern part of Oz.

Glinda will randomly fly to the front of the screen in a pink bubble and say one of her signature phrases from the movie. You’ll also hear “Over the Rainbow” playing when she appears.

Her primary function is to turn reels 3, 4, and 5 into expanding wilds, which almost guarantees that you’ll earn winning payouts. Betting just $0.01 per pay line, we hit a payout worth$57.12 thanks to Glinda.

When you get 3 or more Emerald City symbols on the reels, you’re prompted to choose one of them.

Available prizes include credits, the Road to Emerald City bonus, the Cowardly Lion Forest, the Tin Man Apple Orchard, the Scarecrow Field, and the Winged Monkey feature.

This feature takes you to a second screen, where you’ll see the yellow brick road leading to Emerald City. This is the best designed scene in the game since it features bright and cheerfulscenery outlining the yellow brick road.

Dozens of emeralds appear onscreen, and you’re instructed to select one. Each credit prize that you receive allows you to keep selecting emeralds.

You can also trigger other bonuses through these emeralds, such as the Winged Monkey feature. If you get the Emerald City icon, you advance further down the road to the gates of Oz.

The gatekeeper tells you that he can’t let anybody in so see the wizard. But you do get to select one of five golden charms to reveal a prize. Four of these charms are credit payouts whileone unlocks a new character.

If you select the Winged Monkey Feature through the Emerald City Feature, you’ll see the Wicked Witch of the West appear and threaten you.

Wizard Of Oz Monkey Song

This prompts one of her winged monkeys to fly towards the screen and start 8 free spins.

The free spins take place in a spooky purple setting, with winged monkeys flying in the distance. You’ll also hear the Witch’s guards chanting oh ee oh whoa, just like in the movie.

During the spins, you can get a Winged Monkey Wild, which prompts several monkeys to fly up to the reels and turn certain symbols wild.

During the Emerald City Feature, you can choose icons that take you to either the lands of different characters.

Here’s an example: if you pick the Cowardly Lion Forest, you’ll go to a dark forest where the Cowardly Lion is standing and holding his tail. Glinda instructs you to choose one of twogolden charms, and if you uncover the lion, he’ll join your journey to the Emerald City.

You’re then taken to the round where you select green emeralds. If you pick a Road to Emerald City icon, the lion will go before the Wizard of Oz and be granted a credit prize.

You’ll find play the same type of scenes for the Tin Man and Scarecrow if you uncover their icons.
