Scientific Games first showed Munchkinland at G2E in 2018, and the Gamefield 2.0 cabinet still stands out on a floor -- a J-curved lower touchscreen flowing into a tall portrait top screen, with the Wicked Witch of the East watching from above.

Munchkinland premiered at the Global Gaming Expo in 2018 as the newest chapter in Scientific Games' Wizard of Oz slot franchise, and it's built to be seen from across a casino floor. Where earlier Oz titles used flat artwork, Munchkinland introduced fully 3D-rendered characters to the series for the first time, headlined by the Wicked Witch of the East watching from the game's tall top screen. It runs on the Gamefield 2.0 cabinet, a distinctive format pairing a curved lower touchscreen with a vertical portrait display, and it's tied to a shared progressive jackpot called "There's No Place Like Home."
Munchkinland's most recognizable feature might be its hardware. The Gamefield 2.0 cabinet uses a semi-horizontal, J-curved lower touchscreen that flows into a tall vertical portrait screen up top, with animation running seamlessly between the two. Scientific Games also built it as a two-seat bench unit, so it's noticeably wider and more immersive than a standard upright slot cabinet -- easy to spot on a casino floor even before you can read the title glass.
Under the hood, Munchkinland is a 5-reel, 50-payline video slot. What set it apart at launch was its animation style: it was the first Wizard of Oz slot to use fully 3D-rendered characters instead of flat 2D artwork, and the first to bring the Wicked Witch of the East into the actual gameplay and bonus features rather than just the theme. During its central Witch Feature, the reel grid can expand well beyond its base size, adding extra rows to the play area for a bigger, busier board.
Munchkinland carries a wide-area progressive jackpot branded "There's No Place Like Home," shared across linked cabinets rather than building on a single machine. Pairing a new Oz title with its own named progressive was part of Scientific Games' broader strategy for the franchise -- giving each generation of the series its own jackpot identity alongside the shared movie license.
Like many modern video slots, Munchkinland offers more than one way to place a bet. Independent equipment write-ups note a higher-credit "Witch Bet" wagering option layered on top of the standard bet, tied to the game's wild-reel visuals during play. As with any bumped-bet feature, it changes cost per spin rather than changing what you're allowed to do -- exact mechanics of how it interacts with the Witch Feature aren't something this preview gets into.
