The first thing that caught our eye was the amazing design of Legacy of Oz. The purple and green theme for what we believe is within the castle of Emerald City is whimsical, to say the least. The purplish wallpaper is decorated with a green stained-glass window and two emerald green pillars.

The playing grid in Legacy of Oz is actually a book, probably one that holds all the secrets of this fairytale land. Aside from handsome visuals, Legacy of Oz also features smooth gameplay and a nice soundtrack to go with the slot effects.
It’s all in the details, and they are what matter in slot games. The slot game features a very nice 96.11% RTP (return to player). This is above average and will offer players a very fair chance at the 5,000x their initial bet max payout. To get there, Legacy of Oz has a standard 5×3 grid with 10 paylines. The 5,000x the initial bet is a pretty good amount considering the low number of payways.

The betting range is from 0.10 to 40, which makes Legacy of Oz great for players who aren’t as risky. However, players can expect a high volatility, which makes sense since the game offers a healthy RTP.
Legacy of Oz Features
So far, Legacy of Oz seems like a pretty regular game in terms of the details, but do the features play a big role in getting players to the max win?
Legacy of Oz has a Hyperspin feature. Hyperspin is really just a respin feature where players can choose to respin certain reels - for a price. The price also varies with every spin. What dictates the price is the type of combo you are trying to make. As you can imagine, if you are trying to form a high-paying combo, then you can expect a higher cost.
Legacy of Oz functions like a wild symbol, and it can take the place of other symbols when applicable, or it can pay you outright like a scatter. This symbol is the Book of Oz, and you need to have 5 of them on the grid in order to activate anywhere from 8 to 20 free spins.

The free spins can be retriggered if you land more Book of Oz symbols, which also has the chance of filling up the entire grid.
The game also has a different feature where it gives a random symbol the ability to expand. You just need to land them on three of the 5 reels, and they do not need to align to pay.
Verdict
We like how the slot is low cost and is a minimal risk - perfect for risk aversive players. We really like the design of the game, and we can see that great care went into each symbol and each detail down to the two glowing staffs in front of the playing grid.
Of course, if the game had more features, had a larger max payout, or a higher RTP, we would be much happier, but the slot game is great for what it offers.
