The Big Dawgs

Have you ever wondered what being the toughest dog in the neighborhood looks like? If so, The Big Dawgs online slot shows exactly what it takes to become the top dawg around, barking at prizes of up to 5,000x the bet.

A creative idea combined with innovative mechanics are once again served as dinner by software provider Pragmatic Play. Whilst enjoying a smooth tumbling experience, rollers spawn two kinds of Wilds and benefit from two Free Spins rounds.

Of course, the title hides a couple of other extras, coming up soon!

Theme and Symbols

Set amidst a dark alley in the heart of a busy city, camouflaged and hidden far from the human eye, lies The Big Dawgs online slot. Dumpsters, cans and all kinds of trash lie around the screen, giving an illusion of an abandoned place.

There are 5 Dog Symbols followed by 5 Object Icons such as Bombs in bowls, Dog version of a Knuckle-duster, Go Fetch Baseball, Scissors ( or nail clippers at this point ) and Paw Pendants.

When it comes to Wild Symbols, these are present but spawn slightly differently than what we’re used to. Stick around and learn more!

Betting Options and Features

The title is played on a 5x5 layout where symbols pay from left to right on adjacent reels, starting from any reel or from top to bottom on adjacent rows, starting from any row.

0.20 - 240.00 credits is the betting range at hand while rollers get to face a highly volatile math engine with the best odds ratio of 95.97%. The latter is definitely not the best version we’ve seen in Pragmatic Play’s online games and the same goes for the maximum exposure of 5,000x the stake.

With that being said, the numbers are still pretty solid, to say the least.

Tumble Mechanic - Winning combinations are paid and all winning Icons removed from the reels. This allows new Symbols to pour down from the top and fill the gaps. This continues to occur until no win or the screen has been fully cleared.

Wild Symbols - Any winning combination with one of the Dog Symbols leaves behind a Multi Wild Symbol while any winning combination with one of the Objects leaves behind a Wild Symbol.

The Wild replaces any other Icons in the game in order to help form a winning line. The Multi Wild not only does the same but also carries a x2 multiplier. Last but not least is the Big Dawg Colossal Wild.

It has a chance of spawning on any spin or as a result of a tumble, landing in sizes of 2x2 or 3x3.

Screen Clear Multiplier - If the screen remains with only Wild or Multi Wild Icons, a random multiplier of x2, x3 or x5 is applied to the total win of that sequence.

Free Spins - The word “DAWGS” is written on the screen in the middle row and reel, behind the symbols. If you manage to reveal the word DAWGS word either horizontally or vertically, the Dirty Dawgs Free Spins occur.

The latter starts with 5 Free Spins where, for every individual Free Spins, a total multiplier applies to all wins in a sequence, starting from x1 and increasing by 1 after every tumble. The multiplier resets after each Free Spin. It is possible to win 5 additional spins free of charge.

On the other hand, revealing DAWGS both horizontally and vertically triggers the Double Dawgs Free Spins feature. It can also be done inside the Dirty Dawgs round. It starts with 10 Free Spins and while the rules remain the same, this round is not retriggerable.

As per usual, players will have the opportunity to buy their way into the Free Spins via the Buy Free Spins feature.

Wrapping Up

There really isn’t a way of looking at The Big Dawgs online slot without having a certain amount of sympathy, the game is simply adorable. When it comes to the gameplay and overall experience, our take is on the positive side.

In other words, Pragmatic Play stood up to the task, once again. If you want more similar games from this provider, then we highly recommend The Dog House Megaways release.
