The Wizard of Oz: Ruby Slippers Online Slot Review

Join all your favourites from The Wizard of Oz in this five-reel video slot produced by WMS. Based on the classic film from 1939, The Wizard of Oz: Ruby Slippers slot has loads of bonus features where you can win enchanting prizes. Follow the yellow brick road as we guide you through how to play.

This is one of a series of Wizard of Oz slots and the second to be developed by WMS. The design of the game is bright and colourful with green light from the Emerald City glowing in the background. There are no card symbols in this game, with all icons related to the theme, with the Wicked Witch herself, Toto the dog, Glinda and the ‘Friends’ sign that contains the main characters Dorothy, Tin Man, Scarecrow and Cowardly Lion.

The highest-paying avatar on the board though is the appropriately named Jackpot. This pays out a whopping 12,000-times your line bet for landing five, or 1,000 for getting four. The game’s logo pays out 1,000-times your line bet for landing five on a payline and is also the wild. When it comes to placing your bet, you can choose how many of the 30 paylines you want enabled, and exactly how much you want to wager per line between 0.01 and 2.00. This means there’s a minimum bet of 30p and a maximum of £60 with all 30 paylines in play.

You’ll notice a pair of ruby slippers on the bottom menu next to where your bet is shown. These can randomly click together during the base game in any spin where the jackpot sign doesn’t appear on reel three and the Wicked Witch, wizard or crystal ball symbols don’t appear on reel five. Bubbles arrive that turn up to four reels wild and apply a multiplier of two-times or five-times to your winnings. If Glinda the Good Witch shows up, the multiplier increases to ten-times.

The ‘feature-triggering’ symbols in The Wizard of Oz: Ruby Slippers slot machine are Dorothy on reel one, Scarecrow on reel two, Tin Man on reel three, Cowardly Lion on reel four and the Wicked Witch, the wizard and the crystal ball on the final reel. Getting one of the feature-triggering signs on reels one to four combined with another one on reel five unlocks the Feature Respin. The feature-activating icons are locked in place with the remaining reels replaced by feature symbols and the reels respin once. If there are two feature-triggering symbols on reels one to four after the respin, another feature is awarded.

Two or more feature-activating symbols on reels one to four, plus the Wicked Witch on reel five, trigger the Find the Broom feature, where, in short, you pick tokens for prizes of up to 50-times your total bet. Meanwhile, if you get the wizard on reel five along with the two other feature-triggering characters you activate the Emerald City Freespin feature. Five free spins are awarded and this comes with a modifier, depending on the icons that triggered it. Finally, the crystal ball on reel five combined with two feature-triggering symbols on reels one to four unlocks the Crystal Ball feature. Triggering characters appear to ‘bang up’ your winnings with up to 200-times your total bet possible.
