The Dog House slot review (Pragmatic Play)

The Dog House by Pragmatic Play is a slot that looks all cutesy but is not the least bit childish

The variance is very high, the maximum payout is a hefty 6,750 x the total bet, and you can win free spins with sticky wilds and multipliers.

So The Dog House is really more a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Pragmatic Play has been active for several years in the online slot market and knows how to maintain a very high-quality level. Not every slot can be as good as 8 Dragons or Wolf Gold, but their releases are generally never awful.

The Dog House is firmly planted in the category “ Not the best, but very enjoyable, nonetheless.”

How does The Dog House work?

The Dog House is situated in a large kennel full of dogs.

They all live in harmony and have the most fun gambling adventures.

The ankle biters, the pug, the Rottweilers and the dachshunds: they are all just as happy as Larry.

The game is played on 5 reels with 3 rows of symbols: the classic video slot set up.

There are 20 fixed paylines, and betting is done ranging from $€ 0.20 to $€ 100 per spin.

The variance is undeniably high: this slot will appeal more to seasoned veterans; it is less suited for beginning slots players. Do have a look at our post on how to play online slots. It will certainly be worth your while!

You can win a maximum payout of 6,750 x the total bet, nothing to sneeze at, as they say.

The theoretical payout rate of The Dog House is an outstanding 96.51%

Symbols and payouts

The 4 dogs are the premium symbols: they pay out between 10 x and 37.50 x the total bet with a 5-of-a-kind. The Rottweiler is the most valuable of all the dogs, so keep a close eye on it. It would help if you always kept a close eye on Rottweilers, but we digress.

The medium value symbols are a collar and a bone. Spin 5 of these on an active payline to receive 7.50 x and 5 x the total bet, respectively.

There are also card symbols (low value): the 10, J, Q, K and A  are worth between 1.25 x and 2.50 x the total bet if you manage to get 5 identical ones.

The most important symbol in the game is a doghouse. It only occurs on reels 2,3 and 4 and acts as the wild symbol.

On top of that, the wilds contain multipliers of 2 x or 3 x. Multiple multipliers can be stacked as long as they are part of the same winning combination.

Free spin bonus

3 scattered paw prints on reels 1, 3 and 5 will get you a mystery number of free spins. Anywhere from a minimum of 3 to a maximum of 27.

In your reality, you get about 10 to 12 spins most of the time.

During the free spins, all wilds are sticky and remain in place with the free spins’ remainder. Again, the wilds have extra multipliers of 2 x and 3 x.

Do you manage to spin a lot of wilds fast? Then this bonus can reward you with enormous amounts of money.

Not getting any wilds? In that case, you’ll be lucky if you manage to get more than 10 x the bet.

Our verdict on The Dog House video slot

The Dog House is a typical Pragmatic Play slot: it looks great and isn’t overly complicated. Besides that, the game has a super-fast pace (gotta love that turbo space button) and can pay out amazing amounts.

The cute dog theme may not appeal to everyone, but that does not change the fact that this is an excellent video slot.

3.8 out of 5 stars
