- The latest in the Oz series from Triple Edge Studios
- Hyperspins allow players to choose which reels to respin
- Expanding symbols in the free spins bonus can lead to big rewards
Legacy of Oz slot is the latest slot to be released from Triple Edge Studios, part of the Microgaming group and a follow-up to the highly successful Book of Oz slot. As with the older game, this new one has a similar ‘book of’ feature set which focuses on expanding symbols during the free spins bonus, a feature people really enjoy and for good reason. You also have hyperspins that allow you to choose reels to respin, but I’ll discuss all the features in more detail shortly.
Let’s start with the design first which in my opinion is very well done. The theme is based on the powerful Wizard of Oz and thanks to bright colours and a few magical touches, the game really stands out and looks impressive. You’ll find 5 reels in total with 3 rows, giving you a total of 10 pay lines. All you need is a winning combination from left to right using the base symbols. These are as follows, ranked in ascending order:
- 10, Jack or queen
- King or Ace
- Heart or Club Potion
- Lion Potion
- Oz

Legacy of Oz Slot Bonuses and Features
Hyperspins. In this game, you get the option to respin reels as often as you’d like to try and help you turn a rubbish set of reels into a winning one. Of course, something like this comes at a cost so you have to really think about whether it’s worth it. You can only respin a single reel at a time, and the reel that is respun must be part of a win to get paid.
Free Spins Bonus. In order to trigger this bonus you need to land at least 3 scatter symbols, as you might have expected. These scatter symbols are shown as a golden book of Oz, and they have an additional benefit of being a wild symbol too, meaning that they substitute for all other symbols in a winning combination. Furthermore, they payout on their own but only a fairly small amount unless you land 5. Landing just 3 of these anywhere on the reels will give you 8 free spins, whereas 4 will give you 12 and 5 will give you the maximum number of 20. You can retrigger the bonus with the same number of scatters, but landing just 2 during the bonus will also give you another 4 free spins which is a nice touch. During the bonus, a symbol will be chosen at random and if you manage to get a retrigger by landing enough scatters, another symbol will also be chosen. With these, if they can create a win they will fully expand to fill the reels they land on, paying in addition to any regular wins you might have.
Conclusion
Book of Oz slot from Triple Edge Studios was a big success, so it makes sense to release a sequel. They haven’t made any huge changes with this slot, although there is more focus on the hyperspins mechanics in the title and perhaps most importantly you only need 2 scatter symbols to retrigger the main bonus. This can be quite effective and having 2 (or more) expanding symbols is certainly much better than 1. The maximum win here is still 5,000x your stake which is very respectable, and overall I think this will prove to be just as popular a game as its predecessor thanks to the amount of control given to you, the players, and the impressive win potential.
