The Winnings of Oz
The Winnings of Oz is a stylish, deep pokie from Playtech. Sure to appeal to many fans of our free online pokies, the classic theme, generous prizes and numerous special features make this game a hit.
Gameplay
This game is made up of five reels with three rows each, which are arranged in a 5x3 configuration. There are up to 25 paylines that can be selected in series. Normal prizes are awarded for successful three, four and five-of-a-kind adjacent symbol matches on active paylines. As usual, all wins are calculated from left to right and are multiplied by the line bet. The main game contains twelve symbols in total.
Nine of these are regular types that award prizes for symbol matches, with the remaining two providing bonus functionality in the form of wilds, free spins and even a breakout bonus round. The higher value symbols are made of images relating to the iconic film, such as Dorothy, her loyal companions and the magic slippers. All of the lower value prizes are represented by more typical playing card symbols including the 'A', 'K', 'Q' and 'J'.
Obviously the most valuable normal symbol on the prize table is Dorothy herself, seen here holding her beloved dog, Toto. Finding five of these at once on an active payline will award a fairly decent maximum prize of 1,000 points. Next up is the companions symbol - the lion, the scarecrow and the tin man all together - which is worth a smaller top prize of 500 points.
Way down at the other end of the scale are the lowly '10' and 'J' symbols, which only offer a top prize of 25 points each. All the same, with numerous winning opportunities and some amazing bonus features, even these small amounts can add up to something quite huge with continued play and perseverance.
Bonus
The first special symbol is the Winnings of Oz logo. Not only is this wild, but any wins involving it as a substitute are doubled! In addition, it also grants generous prizes, up to a massive 2,000 points for five symbols. Next up is the yellow brick road bonus symbol, which unlocks the game's breakout bonus mode. In this bonus, players are taken to a board game-like game screen where they have to reach the emerald city through subsequent spins.
On the way, Dorothy can win instant prizes, pick up her companions to increase the size of said prizes, and if she manages to reach the famed city or even meet the wizard, the rewards are incredible. Last but by no means least is the free spins symbol, a picture of the clashing witches. Instances of three on the reels will trigger the free spins mode, where players have an unlimited number of free spins.
During this mode, good and bad witch symbols are added to the reels, awarding prizes plus wild and scatter functions respectively. The free spins continue until five bad witches appear either sequentially or all at once. At this point, super spins mode is triggered, wherein collected good witch symbols are added to the reels.
