The story of Oz wouldn't be complete without the terror of being caught up in a tornado, or the dreaded wave of fear that rises when you realize the Wicked Witch has released her evil flying monkeys toward you. Even the wooden bucket of water that becomes her demise will earn you some cash when it's part of a winning payline.
Her black hat, tattered broom, red-sanded hourglass and flying owl all appear on the reels. Every one of the symbols are rendered to represent icons dear to the Wicked Witch. A full moon is the only light, casting long shadows that set the mood. The Darker Side of OzĪs soon as you open the game, you know you're stepping into the darker side when you see the hauntingly lonely forest background in shades of black and purple. With 30 paylines across 5 reels, even the bonuses are designed around her destructive presence, featuring her ominous flying monkeys and the legendary tornado. WMS offers a range of Oz-themed games, including the Wizard of Oz Ruby Slippers slot machine as well as the original Wizard of Oz slot machine, but Wicked Riches is perhaps the darkest of them all, as it moves away from Dorothy's story and centers upon the Wicked Witch herself. The Wizard of Oz is a classic story for good reason and it translates perfectly into a wickedly fun slot gaming experience.
