Game Overview

I’d imagine most online slot developers dream of having a hugely popular game franchise with millions of players spinning the reels across a series of slot games. So, imagine being a powerhouse like Pragmatic Play and having several record-breaking franchises already under your belt. It’s a new addition to one of these that we are reviewing today as we put The Dog House Megaways through its paces. As for a little bit of quick background information, this is a 6-reel game with up to 117,649 ways to win, an RTP of 96.55%, and a maximum win of 12,305x bet.

Whenever the Megaways engine is involved in a slot, you can expect modifiers and features to be abundant, and that’s certainly the case with The Dog House Megaways. We have wild multipliers that can land with a value of up to x3, and if two or more are part of a win, they will multiply each other first before being applied to the win. That’s not all, though; once you hit three or more scatters, you’ll activate the main bonus round, where you can choose from two exciting free spin features. Finally, to top it all off, there’s also a feature buy option for those residing in applicable jurisdictions.

Could this be the best slot game in the series so far? That’s a decision you’ll have to make for yourself but to help you along, we have The Dog House Megaways demo slot for you to try, and it’s free to play below.

I’d mentioned that the Dog House Megaways is part of a hugely successful collection of games from Pragmatic Play, so if you want to see what the fuss is all about and try out the titles here on our platform, then get comfy and enjoy some spinning time on The Dog House Multihold, as well as our The Dog House slot demo, and finally, The Dog House Dog or Alive slot. Phew, that’s going to take you a little bit of time to get through all of those, but before you leave us, stick around to find out the finer details about the features in today’s slot review. However, before we break those down, let’s see what can be won over in the pays section.

We’re at the paytable, and the top dog regarding the payouts is the Rottweiler, valued at 7.5x if six match across a payline. Next comes the Poodle worth 3x, a Pug at 2x, and the remaining three premium symbols are the Dachshund, Collar, and Bone, all sharing returns of 1.5x for a completed line of six. Dropping on to the low pays, we encounter the royals with the Ace, King, and Queen paying 1x, and finally, the Jack and Ten with equal rewards of 0.5x if a winning combo of six lands.

Whether you fall into the low, medium, or high roller category, there will be a suitable entry point for you to choose from on The Dog House Megaways. Stake sizes start from as low as €0.20 a spin, with the max bet reaching up to.

The Dog House Megaways Slot Base Game & Modifiers

Played over a 6×7 reel configuration, The Dog House Megaways offers up to 117,649 ways to win on any spin. If three or more matching symbols land on consecutive reels starting from the leftmost reel first, the corresponding payout from the paytable will be credited to the balance.

Wild Multipliers

We love wilds and we love multipliers, so a wild multiplier ticks all of the boxes for us as a random feature. The Dog House Wild symbols can only land on reels 2, 3 and 4, and they can have a multiplier value of either x2 or x3 on them. Keep a lookout for wins that contain more than one of these wild multipliers. If you land one, the multiplier values will multiply each other first to give you bigger and better wins.

The Dog House Megaways Slot Bonus Features

There are two free spin bonuses that you can choose from on The Dog House Megaways. These are the Sticky Wilds Free Spins and the Raining Wilds Free Spins. Firstly, though, you will need to activate the feature trigger and to do this, you will need to land 3 or more of the scatter symbols anywhere in view. The more scatters that you can trigger the bonus with, the more it will influence the paying potential of your bonus round.

Sticky Wild Free Spins Feature

You will be awarded the following amount of free spins and sticky wilds for the corresponding amount of scatter symbols that triggered the bonus.

  • 3 Scatters – 7 Free spins awarded with between 2 – 7 sticky wilds present on each reel.
  • 4 Scatters – 12 Free spins awarded with between 2 – 7 sticky wilds present on each reel.
  • 5 Scatters – 15 Free spins awarded with between 2 – 7 sticky wilds present on each reel.
  • 6 Scatters – 20 Free spins awarded with between 3 – 7 sticky wilds present on each reel.

There is an insane amount of paying potential to this bonus round, as each time a wild symbol lands in view, it will hold a value of either x1, x2 or x3. The best bit is that when these wilds land, they will remain in view for the duration of the free spins. Players should note that it is not possible to re-trigger this bonus.

Raining Wilds Free Spins Feature

You will be awarded the following amount of free spins and raining wilds for the corresponding amount of scatter symbols that triggered the bonus.

  • 3 Scatters – 15 Free spins awarded with up to 6 raining wilds available on each reel.
  • 4 Scatters – 18 Free spins awarded with up to 6 raining wilds available on each reel.
  • 5 Scatters – 25 Free spins awarded with up to 6 raining wilds available on each reel.
  • 6 Scatters – 30 Free spins awarded with up to 6 raining wilds available on each reel.

During each spin on this bonus round, the wilds that rain onto the reels can hold a value of either x1, x2 or x3. Players should note that this bonus cannot be re-triggered.

Bonus Buy

Those players who can take full advantage of buy feature slots will be pleased to hear that The Dog House Megaways comes with a bonus buy option. To skip the base game and head straight to either of those free spin features, it will cost you 100x for the current bet.

Pros

  • Two variations of the bonus.
  • A max win of over 12,000x the bet.
  • Excellent graphics and gameplay.

Cons

  • No base game modifiers to break up the play.

The Dog House Megaways Slot Review Final Thoughts

Pragmatic Play has created another masterpiece with The Dog House Megaways, and I'm confident this will go down as one of the best games in the series. What I particularly like about the two variations of the bonus round is that depending on how you're feeling at the time, you can decide how volatile you'd like your free spins to be.
