Follow the Yellow Brick Road is one of the earliest entries in the Wizard of Oz slot franchise, first brought to casino floors by WMS Gaming in 2009 -- years before sister titles like Munchkinland arrived on newer hardware. It leans on the same MGM film imagery every Oz slot uses: Dorothy, Toto, the ruby slippers, and the road itself, wrapped around a signature WMS "community" bonus format built to link several cabinets together. WMS was later folded into Scientific Games, and eventually Light & Wonder, which still licenses the Oz name today across land-based and online versions.
Follow the Yellow Brick Road dates to 2009, when WMS Gaming built out its first wave of Wizard of Oz slots based on the 1939 MGM film. It's a genuinely different game from Munchkinland, which came nearly a decade later from Scientific Games on newer hardware -- the two share a movie license, not a machine. WMS itself was acquired by Scientific Games in 2013, and Scientific Games later rebranded as Light & Wonder, so the same corporate lineage that built Follow the Yellow Brick Road eventually built Munchkinland too, just under different names and on different equipment.
WMS was known in this era for "community" or banked-style bonus features: a linked bank of cabinets shares a running bonus value that builds as players spin, and eventually pays out to whoever triggers it. Follow the Yellow Brick Road uses that same design philosophy -- the specific mechanics of how the bank builds and pays are proprietary to the game's math model, but the broad idea of a shared, accumulating bonus tied to a group of machines is the throughline connecting it to other WMS community titles of the same period.
The symbol set and bonus names are pulled straight from the movie: Dorothy and Toto, the ruby slippers, the road to the Emerald City, and the Winged Monkeys all show up as recognizable bonus features and high-value symbols. It's a straightforward, nostalgia-driven presentation rather than a reinvention of the license -- the appeal is largely in seeing a beloved film's cast rendered across a slot cabinet's reels and bonus screens.
Original cabinets are still scattered across land-based casino floors, mostly on older hardware from the WMS era. Light & Wonder has also pushed the title into real-money online casinos in regulated markets, and the broader Wizard of Oz slots brand lives on in mobile/social form through licensed apps. If you're trying to place which Oz game you're looking at, checking the cabinet age and the bonus feature names on the paytable is the fastest way to tell this one apart from its newer siblings.
