UK Machine Record
The Wizard of Oz
Jersey Jack · 2013 · at 2 UK venues.
The Wizard of Oz was one of Jersey Jack’s first major machines and turns the entire Oz story into a huge pinball adventure. Dorothy’s journey provides the basic structure, with characters, locations and encounters from the film becoming objectives throughout the game.
The machine is particularly strong at creating a sense of progression. You are not simply completing isolated modes; you are travelling through Oz and gradually working towards the larger adventures.
The amount of content can make the table seem intimidating at first. Follow Dorothy’s journey and learn the road one section at a time.

Soft plunge to upper flipper and hitting the witch skillshot base value = 5000

Hit the pink Glinda target in the center for a random, helpful award. To relight hit the rubber between spinner and bumpers.

Multiball3 tips

Stacking Crystal Ball with other multiballs gives you playfield X - try and avoid weak or no-hold flippers though
- Multiball
Set up Munchkinland with one house spin left before triggering the main multiball, stack crystal ball multiball & watch your score go crazy.

During MB each active playfiled adds 1x to the scoring. Add the crystal ball and double this for up to 6x scoring.
