About Book of Oz: Lock ‘N Spin
Developed by Triple Edge Studios and launched on Microgaming’s Quickfire platform, the Book of Oz: Lock ‘N Spin game is loosely based on Microgaming’s franchise of the same name. This game takes you back into the world of Oz, albeit this time in a book slot format with added goodies. Those features do help Book of Oz: Lock ‘N Spin stand out from the many other book-themed slots out there, and we’ll come to those in a moment. Firstly, let’s look at the setup in this game. Of course, there are five reels and ten lines, and the slot is highly volatile. You’re also looking at a fair RTP rate, stakes that stretch from 0.10 up to 25.00 a pop, and a non-progressive jackpot that is worth 5,000x a bet. Now, let’s dive into the nuts of bolts of this Triple Edge Studios developed game.
Special Features
On the face of it, there doesn’t appear to be much originality in the Book of Oz: Lock ‘N Spin slot. However, there are added features that don’t show up in other book slots.
First, though, there are the scatter wilds. It appears as the Book of Oz and takes on the functions of a conventional wild symbol and a bonus-triggering scatter icon. It can replace any symbols you need to bag wins and can trigger a feature when it appears three to five times in any position on this Triple Edge Studios slot’s reels.
The Lock ‘N Spin aspect of the game comes from a feature of the same name. You can choose to “lock” the reels, with the cost of doing so displayed on each reel. This will allow you to freeze symbols (such as Book of Oz scatter wilds) on the screen and allow you to re-spin the other reels to land the missing symbol or symbols you need.
Bonus Feature
The main bonus is a classic one, found in all book slots. One triggered (via three or more scatter wilds), one symbol will be chosen at random. This symbol can expand whenever it appears on the reels of a free game feature that offers you a total of ten free spins. Unlike other book slots, though, Book of Oz: Lock ‘N Spin gives you a Second Chance option. This allows you one more bite at the cherry and a chance to change the randomly chosen symbol if you don’t like the look of it. This can come in handy if the expanding symbol is a low-paying icon.
