Microgaming partner, Triple Edge Studios, has decided to take on the 'Book of' genre with the Book of Oz online slot. At first glance, it looks like the developers decided to stick to the classic 'Book of' formula, but once the reels start spinning, players will find they've added a clever little twist of their own, which you can read about below.
Book of Oz is a 5-reel, 3-row slot with 10 fixed paylines, similar in layout to other classic slot games like Playtech's Fire Blaze Blue Wizard or Red Tiger’s Dragon’s Luck. The cartoon-style symbols and Emerald setting lend it a suitably mystical atmosphere, although not as mysterious as other slots themed around the occult and weird, such as Madame Destiny Megaways or Holmes and the Stolen Stones. For a complete Book of Oz overview, read on.
Book of Oz is just one of the great games in our extensive slots library here at Heart Bingo. If you would like to play, just log in or sign up using the buttons located at the top right of the screen. Opening an account is simple, and you will be guided through the process with clear instructions.
Once your account is up and running and you have deposited funds, just click on the Slots tab on our website or app and select the game. The betting range is a reasonable £0.10 to £25.00 per spin, and the game is compatible with all devices. After you choose a bet level you are comfortable with, just press spin. Potential wins are formed by landing combinations of 3 or more of the low-pays, or 2 or more of the premiums on adjacent reels on one of the 10 fixed paylines. Wins are formed from left to right, starting at the leftmost reel.
The low-paying symbols are the usual suspects; card ranks 10 to Ace. The premiums are more imaginative with a key, a heart, a lion’s head and a magician, all references to the original Wizard of Oz tale.
As players familiar with 'Book of' type slots, like Book of Merlin, will expect, the Book symbol acts as both wild and scatter, helping to create possible winning combinations, and triggering the free spins if three or more are in view on the grid. Details of the payouts for each symbol can be seen in the table below, but please note that these are given as multiples of the line bet, not the total bet per spin. Since this is a 10-payline game, the line bet is the total bet divided by 10.
Triple Edge Studios have more or less stuck to the tried and true formula of 'Book of' slots, but with one little twist of its own to keep the player engaged, and this is the Book of Oz Respins.
To add a little spice to gameplay, players can choose to respin individual reels after every spin in the base game. The chosen reel respins while the others stick, and there is no limit to how many respins can be made after each spin. These come at a cost, of course, with the price of each respin depending on the chances a winning combination will be formed.
Landing 3, 4 or 5 Book scatters anywhere in view will award 10, 12 or 25 free spins respectively. This round is a classic 'Book of', with the symbols all appearing on the pages of the Book before one is chosen at random. Whenever this symbol lands during the free spins, it will expand to fill the entire reel. The Book of Oz Respins feature is not active during the free spins round.
