LAS VEGAS, March 27, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Scientific Games
Corporation (NASDAQ: SGMS) ("Scientific Games" or the "Company")
launched MUNCHKINLAND, the newest game in its successful
THE WIZARD OF OZ slot series based on the classic 1939
movie.
This highly anticipated game features the beloved characters and
classic scenes from the iconic film including the famous Munchkins.
MUNCHKINLAND is the first WIZARD OF OZ slot to
utilize 3D rendered characters, including the first-ever appearance
of The Wicked Witch of the East, as an integral part of the game's
features and bonuses.
Showcased on the immersive Gamefield 2.0™ cabinet,
MUNCHKINLAND is a 5-reel, 50-line slot with a life-changing
"There's No Place Like Home" wide area progressive jackpot, and two
central game features. The Witch Feature stars The Wicked Witch of
the East, who will randomly fly over the base game display and cast
a spell on the reels, possibly expanding them up to 12 rows! During
the feature, Witch Wild reels may be added, increasing the chance
of a big win. If Tornado Wild reels are added, the reels switch to
Lollipop Wilds displaying credit prizes and jackpots that add up
for a sweet reward.
The Munchkin Parade Bonus, triggered by three or more bonus
symbols, begins with a wheel spin where character wedges award a
corresponding jackpot and an additional spin, and free spin wedges
can award up to 20 free spins! During the free spins, parading
Munchkins can award up to three active enhancements, such as Wild
reels, multipliers, and credit prize Lollipop Wilds.
"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. Our talented
team of artists and developers utilized the latest in 3D rendering
technology, along with proven game play, to bring a unique and
exciting gaming experience to casino floors," said Bob Parente, Senior Vice President and Chief
Revenue Officer of Scientific Games. "Scientific Games has enjoyed
a long history of success and partnership with THE WIZARD OF
OZ brand and we are confident this newest title will be a hit
with players and fans alike."
