The Dog House

Who let the dogs out? The answer is Pragmatic Play, thanks to this highly volatile 5-reel, 20-payline title that packs a lot of charm.

The game offers nothing revolutionary, but with Free Spins and multipliers featuring caricatured canines, it has all the ingredients of a slot winner that will bring out your inner child.

Design

The playing area is housed within an oversized dog kennel that lies outside a picture-perfect rural dwelling, with a suitably light and quaint audio providing the soundtrack to our game.

Inside the 3x5 grid we meet our quartet of four-legged friends and their accompanying Symbols, comprising playing card icons from 10-A, Dog Bones, Collars, and a miniature Kennel. The Doberman is your premium dog breed, yielding wins worth 37.5x your stake when appearing in fives across a payline.

Gameplay

Look out for the Wild, represented by the Dog House symbol, which only appears on the middle 3 reels. When it does, all other standard symbols forming part of winning formations also become Wild.

In addition, each kennel carries one other added bonus in the form of 2x and 3x random multipliers that ramp up your winnings. And if you manage multiple Wilds in the same combo - even better!

The Dog House Free Spins

No modern-day pokie offering is complete without its obligatory Free Spins. Thankfully, The Dog House dishes these up in abundance.

Paw Prints, the game’s Scatter, launch the Free Spins feature whenever they show up on reels #1, #3, and #5 in the same spin - as well as paying you 5x your bet.

Before the round begins, it’s up to our trusty Doberman to determine the number of Free Spins on offer, courtesy of a wheel spin. Any resulting number of spins between 9 and 27 are then yours to enjoy.

Sticky Wilds

Now sit back and let the Free Spins do their thing. Similar to the base game, Wilds in this round are accompanied by random multipliers, and these lock into position for the duration of the feature. Manage to land 3 Wilds across all middle reels, and you’re looking at tasty max. multiplier worth 9x.

But the fun doesn’t end there. Whenever our lucrative Dobermans line up perfectly with 3 Wilds across the magic middle 3 reels, you stand to bank winnings worth a staggering 6,750x your wager.

The Dog House on Mobile

As a keen mobile-focused operator, Pragmatic Play have made every effort to ensure their suite of games runs effortlessly across modern mobile devices, including Android and iOS.

As such, canine fans of all ages can load up this playful offering in the palm of their hand, day or night, with the game’s controls integrated seamlessly into the mobile interface.

High Volatility

The Dog House is notable for its extreme volatility rating, characterised by occasional prolonged, winless streaks. On the flip side, when wins do arrive they tend to pay a higher yield than average, gearing this slot towards players comfortable with high variance swings.

The Verdict

There’s nothing truly ground-breaking about this title. It’s cute, runs smoothly and throws up doses of fun from time to time.

What the game lacks in features it makes up for with a headline-grabbing top prize, worth 6,750x your stake from a single spin. With a huge max. multiplier often comes a sky-high volatility rating, however. This is one sticking point that is likely to deter the more casual gamers content with a frequent supply of smaller payouts.

Nonetheless, The Dog House is a cheerful slot that should guarantee hours of entertainment.
