The Dog House Megaways

The Dog House Megaways

The Dog House Megaways caused waves when it first dropped in 2020. It’s a sequel to The Dog House and has since been followed by a super high RTP version in The Dog Mansion Megaways. Players have come to love the kind-of-ugly, kind-of-cute gang of pooches; all the games in the series have tons of charm and character, and some great music too.

However, they’re generally hard as nails. It’s almost like the solid difficulty and the carefree theme are completely at odds. Also, here in The Dog House Megaways, there’s no tumbling feature, which is strange for a Megaways game. There are no retriggers in the bonus rounds either, so it can feel a little bare bones at times, no pun intended.

But as long as you’re aware of the high variance and potential risks, the wins are to be had. There’s a great RTP (96.55%) and a solid max win technically available (12,305x). Whether you’ll reach anywhere near that threshold is another thing, as the max win is assigned a less than 1 in 1 billion chance; this just about sums The Dog House Megaways up.

Yes, it’s a Megaways slot, so a shifting grid with every spin. There are no other notable mechanics in the base game apart from Wilds, Wild Multipliers, and Scatters to take you into the bonus round. Here you can choose between Sticky Wilds or Raining Wilds, but the concept is fundamentally the same as the base game.

How To Play

1. Choose your bet size and start spinning.
2. Wins are awarded in a Megaways fashion, left to right for symbols on adjacent reels. 3 or more symbols will give you a win.
3. Wilds land often and randomly contain a multiplier of 2x or 3x. If more than one wild is part of a win, the multipliers multiply each other, rather than adding.
4. 3 or more scatter symbols take you to the free spins round. You can also buy the bonus for 100x your wager.
5. Before the free spins start, you get to choose what style of play you want. Sticky Wilds with fewer spins, or Raining Wilds with more spins. In Sticky Wilds, any Wilds that land stay till the end of the round, and you can get up to 7 in total. In Raining Wilds, the whole grid resets every spin and you can get up to 6 Wilds every spin.

Bonus Features

• Sticky Wilds free spins: One of two bonus round types available. Here, Wilds will stick to the reels for the duration of the round. Still, as it’s a Megaways game, the number of squares on a reel will fluctuate with every spin. Up to 6 Wilds can land in total.
• Raining Wilds free spins: This is the second type of bonus round, and the whole grid resets with every spin. Up to 7 Wilds can land.
• Buy the bonus: You can buy into the free spins for 100x your wager. On the next spin, 3, 4, 5, or 6 Scatters may land.
• Hit frequency: 1 in 4.3 spins.
• Free spins frequency: Theoretically you can spin in naturally on 1 in 372 spins.
• Max win: 12,305x potential, but the probability of hitting it is more than 1 in a billion – good luck!
