The Dog House Slot Review

From Pragmatic Play comes a charming and playful slot filled with cute doggies ready to help you dig up a bunch of huge rewards. Will you pet them enough so they are satisfied and eager to assist you? Spin to find out!

The game takes place in a small neighborhood as in the background you can clearly see a few cozy houses surrounded by white fences and bushes. The reel set occupies most of the interface as it appears in the form of a giant dog house on which you will find a blue bird, multiple vines, and flowers. The logo of the game sits on top and disappears at times so that hints on how the game works appear in its place.

Regarding the mechanics, the reels start spinning altogether and come to stop individually in consecutive order from left to right. Winning combinations come alive through lively animations and trigger a short sound effect. The gameplay is enhanced by the addition of multiplier wilds and free spins.

This playful title has turned into an iconic game through the years, up to the point that Pragmatic even created a MegaWays version. Pet-themed games are a fairly small niche but dogs rule the genre. Some of the best games you can try out are “Diamond Dogs” by NetEnt and “Puppy Love” by Betsoft.

How to Play The Dog House

The game consists of 3 rows and 5 reels with 20 fixed paylines. Similar to most other Pragmatic Play slots, the controls can be found below the reel slot allowing you to change the bet size, enable the autoplay function, tweak the audio settings, check out the paytable, enter the in-game menu, or simply spin.

As for the stakes, you can bet anywhere between $0.20 and $100 per spin but may be able to bet even more depending on whether the operator allows it. The Dog House is a high volatility title with a fairly low hit frequency meaning that winning spins occur rarely but can be very rewarding. The maximum exposure is 6,750x while the RTP is high at 96.51%.

The Dog House features 5 low paying, 2 medium paying, and 4 high paying symbols. The first come in the form of card values 10-A followed by a bone and a collar. The most rewarding symbols are a dachshund, a French pug, a Yorkshire terrier, and a bulldog.

The slot’s special symbols are:

  • Wild – Represented by the doghouse, the wild will substitute for all other symbols except for the scatter. It only appears on reels 2, 3, and 4.
  • Scatter – Represented by the gold dog paw pin, getting 3 of these symbols will trigger the free spins round. It only appears on reels 1, 3, and 5. It pays on any position.

The Dog House Features

The MegaWays version might have become more popular but in reality, nothing can beat the charm of the original title. Let’s check out how its bonus features work!

Wild Multipliers

At every spin, all wilds on the same reel will be assigned a random multiplier of 2x or 3x. This multiplier will apply to the win of each payline it is part of. This may sound great but hold on because it gets even better.

In case there is more than one wild symbol on the same payline, their multipliers will be added together and then the win will be calculated and paid. For example, if there are a couple of 2x multipliers and one 3x multiplier on the same payline then the win will be multiplied by 7x (2x + 2x + 3x).

Wild Multipliers
Free Spins

Getting 3 scatter symbols will trigger the feature which is going to automatically trigger a 3×3 grid spin which automatically reveals a number of free spins in each cell. The values are added together and the sum represents the number of awarded free spins. During the free spins feature, all wild symbols that appear in the three middle reels will be held in place for the whole duration of the free spins round.

However, the scatter symbol doesn’t appear on the free spins meaning that the feature can’t be retriggered. Based on the operator, you might be able to purchase the feature as well.
