Legacy of Oz Hyperspins Slot Review

Legacy of Oz Hyperspins Slot, Details & Wager Limits

The Legacy of Oz Hyperspins slot is played on 5 reel, 3 rows and 10 fixed paylines. To form a winning combination, land 2, 3, 4 or 5 matching high value symbols or wilds from left to right on a payline, beginning form the leftmost reel. With the lower value symbols, you’ll need a minimum of 3 matching symbols.

You can join the action here at stake levels that range from 10p to £40 per spin. Use the + and – tabs next to the Bet box to adjust your stake size. Click on the Menu then the i for the paytable. Amounts are shown as cash values rather than coins and change as you adjust your bet size. It’s very straightforward to follow.

The Legacy of Oz Hyperspins RTP is 96.11%. The hit frequency rate is 30.49%. This means that, on average, you’ll land a winning combination on just under a third of spins. This can vary wildly over the short term though, especially given the variance here. The volatility is extremely high so tread carefully. Win up to 5,000 x your total stake in the free spins round.

Theme – Audio and Design features – take a trip to Emerald City

The Legacy of Oz Hyperspins spin is based on The Wizard of Oz film. The magical realm of Oz is the setting here. Emerald-green dominates the colour scheme. There’s a jaunty little soundtrack playing in the background while you spin. It’s a nice fit for the fantastical theme.

On the reels, you’ll see A to 10 royals as well as red, purple and blue bottles of potion. The most lucrative symbol is the mysterious magician. Land 2, 3, 4 or 5 of these on a payline for a payout of 1, 10, 100 or 500 x your total stake.

The book of spells serves a dual role. It’s a wild, so substitutes for all the standard symbols in a winning combination. It’s also a scatter symbol. Landing 3 or more on the same spin trigger’s the game’s bonus round.

Legacy of Oz Hyperspins is available to play on mobiles, tablets and computers/laptops. The crisp visuals work nicely on the handheld versions. The simple gameplay is consistent on the small-screen versions too.

Legacy of Oz Hyperspins Bonus Features

There are a couple of extra elements that make Legacy of Oz Hyperspins stand out from a common or garden slot. First, there are the Hyperspins which allow you to respin a reel. There’s also a free spins bonus, complete with expanding symbols. Retriggers add extra expanders.

Hyperspins feature

At the end of each standard spin, you’ll have the opportunity to pay and respin one of the reels again. The price varies on each reel depending on what combination is currently on view. The prize for a Hyperspin respin is shown at the bottom of each reel.

Known as the Hyperspins feature, you can respin reels as many times as you wish. It can be a tempting proposition if you’re close to landing a big winning combination or you’re waiting for a scatter that will trigger the game’s bonus round.

Free Spins feature

Land 3, 4 or 5 of the book scatter anywhere on the reels on the same spin and you’ll win a payout equal to 2, 20 or 200 x your total stake. You’ll also trigger the Free Spins feature. The more book scatters, the more initial free spins:

• 3 scatters = 8 free spins
• 4 scatters = 12 free spins
• 5 scatters = 20 free spins

Before the free spins begin, 1 symbol is randomly selected to be the expanding symbol. Each time this symbol lands during the free spins, it expands to fill the whole of that reel or reels. This extra can be found in many slot games like Book of Ra Deluxe for example.

Land 2 scatters during the free spins and you’ll get another 4 free spins. Landing 3, 4 or 5 scatters delivers a full retrigger. As well as extra free spins, the retrigger also brings another expanding symbol into play.

Legacy of Oz Hyperspins Review Summary – ‘Book of’ concept with a Hyperspins twist

There’s nothing very complicated about the Legacy of Oz Hyperspins slot. It uses the same concept as many ‘Book of’ slots. Free spins with an expanding symbol is something we’ve seen in plenty of slots. The wrinkle here is that retriggers can bring multiple expanding symbols into play.

The Hyperspin respins can be a tempter if you’re close to landing a big combination. However, I wouldn’t personally recommend it unless you’re close to a huge win potentially. Be warned though as this is a volatile slot.

The overall package might be a bit vanilla for some tastes but if you’ve enjoyed Microgaming’s other trips to Oz, this is worth a look. My suggestion would be Sisters of Oz WowPot which comes with free spins and 4 progressive jackpots. The WowPot Jackpot begins at £2 million.
