The title of the game reveals its theme, which is dog-related. The reels are purple and set on a dog kennel, which represents the grid. The action happens during the night or late in the evening and you can see the dark blue sky with stars. There are houses on both sides of the dog house grid with lit torches around them.
On the purple reels, you can land simply styled royal cards each in a different colour. There are also various dog-related items. Such are the dog house with a multiplier value, 4 different breeds of small and large dogs, treats, dog collars and the like. The images are cartoonish and pleasant, very identical to those from the first slot. The colours are bright and lively. Pragmatic Play has created a fun and well-designed slot with plenty of extras and bonus games.
The pay-table includes the low-paying card royals. These are the 10, J, Q, K and A. The premiums feature dog collars, treats and 4 dog characters. The most rewarding of all symbols is the Doberman and 6 of it pay 7.5 times your bet.
There is a wild of the dog house, which can land with a multiplier of x2 or x3 or as an expanding symbol. It substitutes for all other paying symbols. The scatter is the pink dog paw with the word ‘BONUS’ in gold displayed under it. It triggers one of the 2 free spins modes that you can choose from. These are the Raining Wilds Free Spins and Sticky Wild Free Spins.
To get winning combinations, you need to land 2 to 6 identical symbols on adjacent reels. They must start from left to right. You can see the active number of Megaways displayed on the top right corner of the screen.
The Dog House Megaways is boosted with enough modifiers and bonus features. One of them is the Wild Multipliers and these are the dog house wild symbols. You can land them on reels 2, 3 and 4 only and some of them may contain a multiplier value as well. The latter can be either x2 or x3. So, if you get a winning combination with the help of a multiplier wild, you will increase it by 2 or 3 times. This depends on the value of the multiplier wild that takes part in it.
If you are luckier, you can get wins from more than one multiplier wild symbol. In such a case, their multipliers increase by applying their values together. You can have an x9 boost from 2 multiplier wilds with x3 values each, for example.
Another extra feature in The Dog House Megaways is the Expanding Wild. It triggers by chance and this can happen on any spin. The wild can expand and cover more positions. It helps you create more winning combinations. The third extra in the slot is the Pick Me Bonus, which rewards with instant cash prizes.
