The Dog House Review
The Dog House is a 20-line slot with dogs and multiplier wilds. In the base game wilds give 2× or 3×, and in free spins every wild stays on the reels with its multiplier until the end of the round.
About the game
This is a classic line slot with 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 paylines. Wins pay from left to right. The wild is a dog house that only lands on the middle three reels.
The game is all about the free spins. Because the wilds stick, a round can get very good if a few of them land early.
The Dog House Features
Wild multipliers
On every spin, all wilds on the same reel get a random multiplier of 2× or 3×. The multiplier counts for each line the wild is part of. If a line has more than one wild, their multipliers are added, so 2× and 3× make 5×.
Free spins
3 paw-print bonus symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 start the free spins. The bonus symbol also pays anywhere on the screen. Before the round, a 3×3 grid spins and shows 1, 2 or 3 spins in each box. They're added up, so you get between 9 and 27 free spins.
During the round every wild that lands on reels 2, 3 or 4 stays there until the end, with the multiplier it showed when it landed. Bonus symbols don't appear in free spins, so you can't retrigger the round.
Graphics
The game is set in a backyard with a wooden fence, green trees and houses in the background. The reels look like a wooden dog house. The high symbols are dogs: a Rottweiler, a long-haired dog with a pink bow, a pug and a dachshund. Then come a collar and a bone, and the low ones are A, K, Q, J and 10.
How to play
Pick your bet and spin. Wins pay on 20 lines from left to right. Look out for wilds on reels 2 to 4 and for the paw print on reels 1, 3 and 5. There's no bonus buy in this version.
