Land Of Ozz - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Land of Ozz

If you are fond of the Oscar-winning movie The Wizard of Oz, you are in for a treat with this slot.

Introduction

Set up in a classic 5x3 format, it offers 25 pay lines that are fixed.

There are nine paying symbols, beautifully reflecting the main characters and features of the film. Glinda the Good Witch of the North and Dorothy are the top-paying symbols, followed by the tornado carrying away the house, the winged monkey and the ruby slippers, which strangely are coloured purple. Next up are Dorothy’s dog Toto, the lion, the tin man and finally the straw man.

The scatter symbol is the Emerald City, which triggers 8 to 20 free spins.

Finally, the Wicked Witch of the West appearing three times on an active pay line will trigger the bonus game.

The game is available in free demo mode, and we advise that you use this.

Theme, graphics and soundtrack

As the title suggests, we are in the land of Oz, and all the characters and images on the reels are identifiable.

The game benefits from a great design, with the backdrop suggesting the environs of the Emerald City with trees, flowers and rolling hills. The characters are beautifully crafted and spring to life with sound effects when they appear on a winning line.

The soundtrack evokes Dorothy’s journey along the yellow brick road, but the song of that title does not feature; maybe royalties were an issue!

Land of Ozz RTP and volatility

We could not find a published RTP, but the developer seems to guarantee a minimum RTP of 94%. Check with the casinos.

We would describe this slot as low to medium in the base game. Wins are frequent but payouts are low until you trigger free spins, where the excitement and multipliers kick in. The maximum win for five matching symbols is x750 but a hefty win is on offer in the bonus game.

Evil Witch’s Castle Battle Bonus Feature and Free Spins

Land three bonus symbols featuring the Wicked Witch of the West on any active payline to trigger the bonus round.

Now you will be asked to choose an ally, a damage parameter and a multiplier to take into the battle room. Do this by clicking on a mystery card in each of columns that appear on screen. Although the witch’s powers are greater than yours, this is mitigated by the defence parameter, which appears as a shield and is a multiple of your ally’s power and the multiplier.

The battle involves throwing water over the witch and fending off the flying monkey. Your HP appears in the green bar at the top of the screen; when it reaches 0, the bonus game ends, but you take away any winnings you have accumulated.

If you defeat the witch, a big win is a possibility.

Free spins are generated by the Emerald City scatter symbol. Land three, four or five anywhere across the reels, and you will be rewarded with 8, 15 or 20 free spins. During this feature, all wins are subject to a x2 multiplier. Fans of this feature will find other games with a multiplier feature here at Slots Temple by searching by feature.

Our verdict

We really enjoyed this slot, even if the wins in the base game are small yet frequent.

The design of the slot is excellent and draws the player into the wonderful world of Ozz.

A criticism might be that we found the free spins rounds hard to generate, although when they did arrive, they were rewarding and restored our bankroll somewhat close to previous levels.

The real fun arrives in the bonus game, where the graphics are impressive, if a little gruesome. It is hard to get your head around the defence parameter, but whatever value it has, you are more or less guaranteed some winnings. To defeat the witch, you will need to have created the perfect Kansas storm.
