World of Oz Slot

World Of Oz is another relatively new game that was released at about the same time with Tycoon Towers and a few others about 2 years or so ago. Once again, it plays with 50 paylines, which I don't like at all, and with graphics that do not show any progress have been made over the years. The overall presentation of the game looks very dated, and could have come from a decade ago, which it isn't. Rival game designers have not improved much at all over these long years, for one reason or another, thereby keeping this software more or less stagnant in terms of popularity and status in ranking. Isn't this 21st century more than time enough for a big new change, Rival?! Wake up! Wake up!

The ugly looking Witch, unlike those beautiful sexy witches of some games, is the Wild symbol, but a dumb Wild symbol, because it doesn't pay anything for itself, it doesn't become stacked or expanded, but it substitutes for other symbols except the Scatter symbol, and multiplies all wins by 5x in the base game and in the Free Spins game too, but pays 10x in the second-level Emerald Free Spins game. Still makes it a dumb symbol in my books. The Bald-headed man is the Scatter symbol, paying a very low 25x the total bet for getting 5 of them, and getting 3 or more of these Scatters trigger 12 free spins without any multiplier. Typical of Rival's free spins offering in having no multiplier. During the free spins, getting 3 or more of the Scatters award 7 Emerald Free Spins with the Wilds paying 10x for all wins. This Emerald game can be retriggered, but not the initial Free Spins game. Ah well, better than nothing at all.

As for the other symbols, the Girl pays 750x, the Shoes pay 250x, the Lady pays 200x, and the rest pay from 160x to 60x, all per line bet for 5 of each kind. In the Free Spins game, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Lion, are the 'drop' symbols, each paying 300x the line bet for 5 of them. Any winning combination with these 'drop' symbols activate the drop feature, or better known as the Rolling Reels feature, but affecting only the drop symbols in the winning combination. Other symbols do not drop down.

Well, honestly speaking, the Emerald Free Spins are the best feature of the game, but only if they could always pay well and never zero. Yes, it is possible to end up with a zero win after completing the 7 Emerald Free spins, and that can be very disappointing indeed. The initial 12 free spins are hardly any better, but are usually even worse paying than the Emerald free spins. I've had a number of these Free Spins games so far, but all the payouts were between 0x up to 14x my bet amount, which were all totally disappointingly low. Only in the base game did I get wins of up to 25x, but nothing more than this. Well, a poor paytable with poor payouts is all I can say for this World Of Oz game.

World of Oz is a Rival software slot, which as far as I can tell is inspired by the wizard of Oz. When the game starts, it shows an intro video that makes you feel like you are a part of the imaginary world. There are animal symbols, the witch, which is also a wild and when is in a winning combination, it multiplies winnings 5x, so that's useful and other symbols.

I played this game for the first time a few days ago when I had been offered a free chip. I spent a handful session with this slot and I have to say I was quite disappointed. First of all this slot is quite expensive, it has 5 reels and 50 paylines, and because of it, minimum stakes are 0.50€ per spin. And for that stakes, the payouts I experienced were way too small.

The game has one bonus round and a feature that reminds me of Gonzo's Quest. There are 3 drop icon symbols and when there are 3 or more of them, they explode and new ones fall down. Mostly I would get this feature when I had a wild symbol, since you need matching symbols (3 or more lions for example). The main thing I usually look forward to is free spins round, but in this case it isn't very exciting, simply because there are no multipliers. For 3 scatters you get 12 free spins and that's not very exciting since they are played with base game stakes.

In my session I had a few big winnings, but they weren't even 10x bet size amount, each time I won around 3€, it was a big win and that's upsetting. I had many free spin rounds since they aren't too hard to trigger, but only once I had a 20x bet win, which was my overall best result from this game. Design for my eyes was a little too colorful, I couldn't play this game for many hours, I would get dizzy.

Overall I wasn't happy with this game and I don't think it has big winning potential, even when the drop feature appeared, it didn't give me winnings over 10x bet, and the fact I had only 20x bet win on free spins as my biggest win, is disappointing. I wouldn't recommend this game, even from Rival there are better slots.

This is one of the latest video slot games created in Rival. World of Oz has 5 reels and 50 pay-lines. This is not nothing unusual, because I noticed that all newer Rival games have 50 pay-lines.

I had the opportunity to try this game only once and that in the Golden Lady Casino, which is the only Rival casino where I play recently. The graphics are not bad but I was not impressed. The sound that is heard in the background while you play after a while begins to irritate.

When I came to this game my balance was at 135 euros. In the games, not that I had not played, I am careful and that's why I set up the bet at min. 0.5 euros per spin. I played a total of about half an hour. During this time I made a few hundred spins and I lost more than 50 euros. My biggest win was somewhat higher of 9 euros. After about 100 spins made here, I stopped playing for a while and looked at the pay-table. I wanted to check does this game offer some bonus feature at all. Yes, I found that offers free spins feature. For a 3 scatter symbols you get 12 free spins. But after more than 300 spins here, I did not come to the free spins bonus. It is obvious that I had chosen the wrong time for this game. That's why I decided to move on to another slot game from the Golden Lady offer, with the intention to return to this game after a while. But it did not happen, because very quickly I lost all of my rest money. But I'll definitely return here once and I hope I will have more success.

For the end, let’s gather the impressions. World of Oz visually looks pretty good, but I do not like the sound. All in all for World of Oz I give 7 out of 10 stars.
