Book Of Oz Lock 'N Spin might sound familiar because it’s a sequel to an older version, known as Book of Oz. The nice little upgrade has some extra tricks up it’s sleeve in terms of new features and ways to win.

The Lock 'N Spin feature is what gives it a unique value compared to some other games. They did a good job with the reels, creating a smooth flow. The graphics are also really impressive. The game has the same characters, which if you know them, you love them.
Book Of Oz Lock 'N Spin Betting
To make a bet in Book Of Oz Lock 'N Spin, it’s simple. You’re getting 10 pay lines, giving you plenty of chances for wins. How much you want to bet is up to you. Anywhere from $0.10 for a round (equating to betting 0.1 for every line). Alternatively, you can bet up to $25 per spin. This means you’re betting $2.50 on each line.
The one thing about this game that might deter people is it’s high volatility. When Book Of Oz Lock 'N Spin pays out, it’s big. You can get a win that is x5,000 your stake. This equates to a pay out of up to $125,000. To get the big prize, you would have to have all the symbols on the screen match. Let’s face it. This is a rarity but if everything aligned properly, there are wins to be had.
- Second Chance
You get to take control and decide on a different expanding symbol if the first one wasn’t to your liking. This could just earn you an expanding symbol that can offers you a bigger win. There is also that risk that you get a less valuable symbol. It’s random so keep that in mind when you’re spending money on this feature.
- Hyperspins
Now, this is where it gets fun playing. The Lock 'N Spin gives you the chance to take control and lock the reels down on your own. You have to pay of course but when luck calls, it’s great to have some control on what you can do.
Other reels will continue to spin after you have selected which ones you want to lock. This gives you greater control over your outcome if there are symbols you would like to keep on the reels. There are 4 reels you can lock. How much you pay depends on how big your payout could be.
- Free Spins
You have some other decent features that cost you nothing and show up on random. This includes the free spins in Book Of Oz Lock 'N Spin. They will be triggered when at least three of the Book of Oz symbols come up. These are the scatters in the game. You might be lucky enough to get as many as 5 at once too. You’ll get a minimum of 10 free spins with a max of 25 (depending on the amount of Book of Oz symbols that showed up at once). Reels expand with one of the symbols, which gains you even more opportunities for winning.
Pros
There are some great and interesting new features for this version. It’s nice to have all that control with the features. There are big wins to be had if you’re lucky enough to get them.
Cons
It is perhaps a bit too much like the original version. It would have been nice to see a deluxe version as opposed to just a few little updates.
