The Dog House Megaways slot

By Pragmatic Play. Cartoon suburban dogs: a rottweiler with a spiked collar, a pug and a beagle grinning out from a red-roofed kennel on a sunny lawn, with bones and collars for symbols.

The Dog House Megaways keeps the kennel, the bones and the three dogs from the original and swaps the 5x3 grid for six reels of changing height. Each reel shows between two and seven symbols on every spin, which sets the number of ways to win, up to 117,649. The return is 96.55% in the standard version, the volatility is high, and the max win is 12,305x the stake, more than five times the original Dog House. The base game is lean, and the long runs without a feature are part of the deal.

The multiplier wilds are what the game is built on. Every wild on reels 2 to 5 carries either a 2x or a 3x, and when two or more wilds sit in the same winning way their multipliers multiply each other instead of adding. One 3x wild on a R5 win pays R15. A 3x and a 2x on the same way pay 6x, so R30. Four wilds across reels 2 to 5 can take a single way up to 81x. That is how the ceiling gets to five figures.

Three to six paw print scatters trigger the free spins, and you then choose the round. Sticky Wilds gives between 7 and 20 spins depending on the scatter count, and every wild that lands stays put, up to seven per reel, resizing as the reel heights change. By the end of a good round the reels are a wall of multipliers. Raining Wilds gives between 15 and 30 spins with up to six wilds dropping into random positions on every spin, none of them sticky. Sticky is the slow build, Raining is the volume play.

Where it is offered, the bonus buy costs 100x the stake, so R200 at R2 a spin takes you straight to the scatter choice. Neither mode changes the RTP, and a bought round can pay back a fraction of its price. Scorebet carries The Dog House Megaways in its Pragmatic Play catalogue under its Northern Cape Gambling Board licence. You need to be 18 or older to play.

What the features do

  • Megaways: each reel shows a different number of symbols every spin, so the ways to win change from a few hundred to 117,649
  • Multiplier wilds: every wild on reels 2 to 5 carries a 2x or 3x multiplier, and wilds in the same win multiply each other rather than add
  • Sticky Wilds free spins: 7 to 20 spins where every wild that lands stays on the reel for the rest of the round, up to 7 per reel, and resizes as the reel height changes
  • Raining Wilds free spins: 15 to 30 spins where up to 6 wilds drop into random positions on every spin, none of them sticky
  • Pick your round: the game lets you choose between the two free spins modes after the scatters land
  • Bonus buy: pay 100x the stake to trigger the free spins directly where it is offered

Before you spin

  1. Pick Sticky Wilds when you want the round to build and are fine with a slow first five spins. Pick Raining Wilds when you would rather have more spins and more frequent, smaller hits.
  2. Watch the reel heights, not just the symbols. A spin with all six reels at seven symbols high is 117,649 ways and a far better spin for a sticky wild to land on than a short board.
  3. A R200 bonus buy at R2 a spin is 100 base spins' worth of money in one go. Decide beforehand how many buys you are willing to make if the first one pays under 20x.
  4. Multiplier wilds only count on a winning way. A screen with three wilds and no matching symbols across reel 1 pays nothing, however good it looks.

The Dog House Megaways questions

What is the RTP of The Dog House Megaways?

96.55% in the standard version. Pragmatic Play also supplies 95.53% and 94.55% settings, so check the figure in the game's info screen where you play.

What is the max win on The Dog House Megaways?

12,305 times the stake. At R2 a spin that is R24,610. It takes a screen packed with 3x wilds on reels 2 to 5 in the free spins to get near it.

What is the difference between Sticky Wilds and Raining Wilds?

Sticky Wilds gives 7 to 20 spins and every wild that lands stays for the rest of the round, up to seven per reel. Raining Wilds gives 15 to 30 spins with up to six wilds dropping in at random on every spin, but none of them stay. You choose after the scatters land.

How do the wild multipliers work?

Every wild on reels 2 to 5 carries a 2x or 3x. When more than one wild is in the same winning way, the multipliers multiply together, so a 3x and a 2x make 6x, and four 3x wilds make 81x.

Is there a bonus buy, and can I play it in South Africa?

Where it is offered the bonus buy costs 100x the stake. Scorebet carries the Pragmatic Play catalogue, The Dog House Megaways included, under its Northern Cape Gambling Board licence, for players aged 18 and over.
