How it plays
The Dog House is the most conventional slot in Pragmatic's front rank: 5 reels, 3 rows, 20 fixed paylines. Doghouse wilds land on reels 2, 3 and 4, each carrying a random 2× or 3× multiplier — and when several wilds sit on one payline, their multipliers combine, which is where the big line hits come from.
Stakes run €0.20–€100 per spin.
Sticky-wild free spins
Three scatters open a 3×3 pick grid awarding 9 to 27 free spins. During the bonus every wild that lands becomes sticky, locking its 2× or 3× multiplier in place for the remainder of the round. A well-seeded board early in the bonus can multiply nearly every subsequent win.
The published max win is 6,750× stake — higher than the Gates/Sugar Rush 5,000× cap.
RTP versions
The standard configuration returns 96.51%, with a 95.51% variant also in circulation. The franchise has since grown (Megaways, Multihold, Dog or Alive), each with its own maths — this review covers the 2019 original.
Verdict
Six years on, The Dog House is still a UK and EU lobby staple because the design is honest: one mechanic (multiplier wilds), one bonus (sticky wilds), and everything visible on the reels. High volatility, but less bonus-dependent than Pragmatic's scatter-pays titles.
