It is a high-volatility slot game with an RTP of 96.00%.

ABOUT THE BOOK OF OZ SLOT 

Book of Oz slot is one of several slot games inspired by L Frank Baum’s Wizard of Oz story. This fairytale has been adapted into various forms including movies, video games, and several slot titles. In this slot, Games Global creates a version of the story combined with the interesting “Book of” slot mechanics. 

Embark on a magical adventure down the yellow brick road to the land of Oz where you get to see and collect familiar icons from the original story including the Wizard of Oz himself and his vials of magical portions. While it would have been nice to see some of the more familiar characters from the Emerald city like Dorothy, Scarecrow, or the Tin Man, this slot seems to be fully focused on the Wizard and his magic. 

The vibrant graphics of this slot create a unique storybook atmosphere that brings the magical tale to life. Long-term fans of the Wizard of Oz story will definitely enjoy spinning the reels in this slot. A gentle, enchanting tune plays in the background, elevating the magical atmosphere of the game even higher. 

GAMEPLAY 

WAGER

Book of Oz has a five by three grid setup with ten paylines. To start the game, you need to set your preferred stake which is a minimum of £0.10 per spin. You can earn a payout on each spin if you manage to get identical symbols on adjacent reels of a pay line from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel. The low-paying symbols form winning combinations with three or more symbols on a payline while the high-value symbols will grant a payout with just two symbols on a payline. 

SYMBOLS

Book of Oz focuses on the powerful Wizard of Oz who has the ability to grant the power of courage, love and intelligence to anyone. The symbols in this game are designed to reflect this theme. 

The wizard himself is the slot’s most valuable symbol. It pays 500x the line bet if you manage to land five of these symbols on a payline. You also get 100x, 10x, and 1x the bet amount for four, three, or two of this symbol on a payline. 

Next is the courage potion represented by the blue vial with a lion stopper. This symbol pays 0.5x for two symbols on a payline, 4x for three symbols, 40x for four symbols, and 200x for five symbols. The last two high-paying symbols are the key (intelligence) and the heart (love) potions. They both offer a starting payout of 0.5x for two symbols on a pay line. These symbols also pay 3x, 10x, and 75x for three, four, and five symbols on a payline respectively. 

The paytable in the Book of Oz slot also includes some low-paying symbols (10, J, Q, K, and A cards). The A and K Cards pay 0.5x, 4x, and 15x respectively for three, four, and five-symbol combinations respectively. Similarly, the Q, J, and 10 cards pay 0.5x, 2.5x, and 10x for the same combination of symbols. 

Like similar games with “Book of” mechanics, Book of Oz has only one special symbol which is the book symbol. This symbol is both the Wild and the Scatter symbol. The book symbol is a paying symbol too, offering a payout of 2x, 20x, or 200x the total bet for a combination with three, four, or five matching symbols respectively. 

SPECIAL FEATURES 

The book symbol is the main bonus feature in the Book of Oz slot. This is typical with most slots with this mechanic. In addition to being a paying symbol itself, the book symbol can act as a Wild, substituting for any of the other symbols to form a winning combination. 

This slot also has an expanding symbol bonus feature which is only active during the free spins bonus round. After the bonus round is triggered in a base game spin, one of the standard symbols is randomly selected as a special symbol. If this random symbol lands on the reels and forms a winning combination in the bonus round, it expands to fill the entire reel, triggering bigger payouts. 

The respin function is arguably the coolest feature in this game. After any spin, you have the option of paying a small extra bet to respin individual reels and potentially get a different outcome. Note that you can only respin a single reel at once. The other reels remain locked in place when you do this. The charge for each respin is indicated below each reel. The higher the chances of creating a lucrative win line, the bigger it’ll cost to respin the reel. This symbol is active both during the base game and bonus round and can help you unlock some big wins.

BOOK OF OZ FREE SPINS FEATURES

Book of Oz has a free spins feature which is triggered by the Scatter symbol. Landing three, four, or five Scatters on the reels will grant 10 free spins. This feature can be retriggered which means landing more Scatters during an ongoing bonus round will grant more free spins. As explained above, the expanding symbol feature is active until the free spins bonus round ends. 

In addition to the built-in free spins bonus round, you can also get free spins directly from the casino through casino bonuses and promotions. Online casino sites offer all kinds of bonus features that can give players a specific number of free spins that can be spent on online slots like this. 

For instance, new players on EnergyCasino can get no deposit free spins after registering on the casino. This type of bonus offer allows them to spin the reels and even earn a payout before they make their first deposit on the casino. 

Older players can also get free spins through ongoing bonuses like loyalty rewards, deposit bonuses, EnergySpins rewards, or tournament prizes. The free spins obtained through these bonuses are subject to the casino’s terms and conditions. 

BOOK OF OZ FREE PLAY (DEMO)

Instead of diving straight into playing the Book of Oz online slot machine for real money, we recommend playing the game in demo mode. This is a risk-free way to learn how this slot works, familiarize yourself with the mechanics and determine if it is right for you before committing fully to it. 

In the Book of Oz demo version, the casino gives you virtual funds which you can use to bet on reel spins instead of using your own money. Your virtual balance resets to a default value each time the game is reloaded. This means it is practically unlimited, allowing you to play in this mode for as long as you want. 

You can access the Book of Oz demo on EnergyCasino either as a visitor or a fully-registered player depending on your jurisdiction. In some locations, players are allowed to play demo games without registering an account. However, in cases where registration is required, you have to sign up and verify your account to access demos. 

OUR THOUGHTS ON BOOK OF OZ SLOT

Book of Oz is based on one of the most interesting themes in the slot gaming world. Although we would have loved to see some more familiar characters on the reels, the Wizard and his magic potions is a sufficiently interesting premise too. The best thing about this game is the reel respin feature which infuses enough originality into the game. However, you need to manage your gambling balance wisely to get the best out of this unique Book of Oz bonus feature.
