The Dog House in brief
The Dog House is the 2019 original that started one of Pragmatic Play's longest-running series. It is a straightforward 5x3 video slot with 20 fixed paylines, cartoon dogs as the premium symbols and a kennel as the wild. The wilds only appear on reels 2, 3 and 4, and each one carries a multiplier, so a line passing through two or three of them can produce a win far above its normal value.
The Dog House Megaways in brief
The Dog House Megaways takes the original Dog House sticky-wild bonus and puts it on BTG's Megaways engine. The highlight is the free spins choice: sticky wilds are the classic high-risk option, while raining wilds tends to pay more consistently. Wild multipliers multiply each other, so two or three wilds on one win can produce surprisingly large results.
