Scientific Games Unveils Latest Slot Release in Wizard of Oz Series – Munchkinland

Casino software prodigies and one of iGaming's undisputed front-runners, Scientific Games Corporation, has announced the imminent release of a latest installment in their successful Wizard of Oz series of video slots!

The game, called Munchkinland, is directly inspired by the legendary movie classic from 1939 and features all the characters and iconic scenes from one of the most beloved motion pictures of all times starring, Judy Garland.

Munchkinland also marks a milestone for the company...

...as the first slot from this series to use 3D rendered characters. It also marks the very first appearance of The Wicked Witch of the East that is an integral part of a bonus round in the game.

There's No Place Like – Progressive Jackpots!

The 5-reel, 50-payline game is presented in the lavish and immersive Gamefield 2.0 cabinet...

...and, much to players' excitement and joy, is boosted by a wide area progressive jackpot called, There's No Place Like Home, which the supplier promises will be “life-changing.”

Witch's Good Hex

In this release, players will get to experience a pair of distinct features that have been created to provide a morale (and wallet) boosting string of wins.

The first one, The Witch Feature, is the one where The Wicked Witch of the East appears by randomly flying over the base game and casting her spells on the reels. This can potentially expand the amount of reels to twelve rows...

...and during this particular feature, the Witch Wild reels will appear as will Tornado Wild reels, which can then switch, in turn, to Lollipop Wilds with jackpots and cash prizes!

Munchkins on Parade

The other feature is dubbed, The Munchkin Parade Bonus...

...and is triggered by at least three bonus symbols landed on the reels. During a wheel spin, a jackpot and an additional spin can be won if you get some of the characters – of up to 20 extra spins if the wheel lands on bonus spin wedges.

It's during this bonus spin mode that Munchkins have their parade and can potentially award up to three active enhancements (multipliers, credit prize wilds and wild reels).

Quality Becoming a Habit

Commenting on the newest release, Scientific Games' Senior Vice President and Chief Revenue, Officer Bob Parente, said:

“THE WIZARD OF OZ is considered one of the greatest films in history and we are pleased to present the latest homage to this beloved theme – MUNCHKINLAND – to the industry.
