Established in 2015, Pragmatic Play is a provider that’s making big waves in the sector by branching off into live-dealer games. Though it’s also continuously adding slots to its 250+ collection. Dog House is a charming title that hides a high variance algorithm behind a façade of colorful silliness. Do not let the canine theme deceive you. The game can pay out a max prize of $675,000, which is not shabby at all.

Theme & Design

Okay, so obviously, the theme here are dogs and kennels. All the visuals give off an early-2000s, Saturday morning cartoon feel. It features painterly graphics of canines with enhanced features, which magnify their level of cuteness. You may let out a few awwws when first opening this slot.

The setting is what appears to be a calm suburban neighborhood, where the reel-grid spins from within a dog house, located in front of a couple of human ones. You’ll see trimmed lawns and humming butterflies in the background as vibrant symbols spin and relaxing music plays.

You’ll find the big spin button at the bottom right of your screen, and you can adjust your bet size via the plus and minus icons on either side of it. The auto-spin feature is just below these. On the left side of your screen, you can gain access to the settings and info panel, and you can mute the game. You can see your winning amount in the center. Most of the buttons are transparent, which is nice.

Specs & Gameplay

Dog House is a five-reel, three-row slot with twenty paylines. It has an RTP of 96.51% and falls into the category of being a high variance game. The latter means that when it pays out, it does so in massive amounts, but that does not happen very often. Its max exposure is x6,750, and you can make bets ranging from $0.2 to $100.

Winning combinations form when you land symbols on a payline, left to right. When you land a winning combo on multiple paylines, those wins get added to your total win amount. The low-paying symbols are card royals from 10 to A. They will provide you with wins that are x1.25 to x2.5 your stake for five on a payline. The medium-paying ones are the dog collar and bone, and the premium symbols are the four dogs, the pug, the dachshund, the Shih Tzu, and the smiling rottweiler. They provide wins ranging from x.1.2 to x37.5 your bet, for five of a kind. The kennel symbol is the Wild, and the paw is the Bonus symbol. The Wild comes with a random multiplier x2 or x3. They can increase your spin win by up to x9. They are the core of this game and lock in place when they land in the free spin round.

Bonus Features

If the paw symbol with the word bonus underneath it appears on the first, third, and fifth reel, you enter the Free Spins Round. Before this round begins, the smiling rottweiler will spin his three-by-three grid to determine your number of free spins. The lowest number you can get is nine, and the highest is twenty-seven. Once you find out this figure, the sky will switch to nighttime, and the bonus round will begin.

When the free spins start, you’ll see that the premium symbols will land fully stacked. Also, any multiplier Wild that you hit turns to a sticky-Wild for the duration of the free spins. Using this potent combination, you can reach the game’s max-win potential. Sticky-multiplier Wilds combine to boost your winnings, making it possible to land massive payouts.
