Light & Wonder's Second Wizard of Oz Slot Becomes BetMGM Exclusive
Light & Wonder continues to develop its line of games based on the cult movie The Wizard of Oz with the introduction of its second slot, Follow the Yellow Brick Road. This 5-reel machine with 40 paylines is now available only at BetMGM online casinos in the regions: New Jersey, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Ontario.
The new slot is a continuation of the successful April release of Over the Rainbow. Familiar characters from the 1939 film reappear in the game, as well as many exciting features: bonus rounds, expanding Wilds and several progressive jackpots.
Such a launch fits into Light & Wonder's strategy for cross-platform integration: earlier the games of the Wizard of Oz series were already popular in land-based casinos, and now the company is confidently promoting them in the online segment.
Particular attention is paid to responsible gaming tools that are integrated into the product. The distribution of the slot is carried out through the company's own trading platform, which strengthens Light & Wonder's digital presence in the regulated markets of North America.
It is worth noting that the company continues to grow actively: Light & Wonder recently acquired the assets of Grover Gaming for $850 million, and its financial performance is steadily improving — for the 16th consecutive quarter of revenue growth. The latest report showed revenue of $774 million, and adjusted EBITDA increased by 11% and reached $311 million.

Has anyone even tried to win the jackpot in these "Wizards"? Are there any real cases?
I caught a mini-jackpot in Over the Rainbow last month, but it's small – it seems to be progressive here, maybe it's more interesting.
And I generally enjoy such thematic slot machines, nostalgia + a chance to raise – top!
Well, honestly, the first slot was ok, but not wow. I hope this one will be really better.
Why only BetMGM? I don't have an account in Ontario there, but I would play!
Oh, The Wizard of Oz in slots is just something from childhood and with excitement together, a cool idea!
