Dogs are very special beings, they can be incredibly loyal and loving both towards us humans and in relation to other canine individuals. We have all seen movies that tell the stories of dogs that went above and beyond to protect their human friends, and some of us have probably experienced such stories first-hand.
However, we can only imagine what a dog really thinks, or how our beloved dogs would behave in a home of their own, having a wild party with their neighbors.
The developers at Pragmatic Play have pictured such an event in their imaginations and created The Dog House Megaways, an upgraded version of an already very successful game. Let’s see how this new edition fares in comparison to the old one.
Theme
The design is pretty similar to the former version, we have a nice-looking dog house hosting the reels in the backyard of a house in the suburbs. The dogs are enjoying a beautiful sunny day, chasing bones and doing all sorts of tricks on the reels.
The background music follows the same cartoon style of the design, the tune is optimistic and jolly, similar to what you would find in popular smartphone games nowadays. There is some barking to be heard as well, especially when you get some winning combos going on!
Betting Options and Functions
The setup of the game has changed from the original version, now there is a 7x6 grid available, which can provide up to 117,649 ways to win thanks to the Megaways mechanics. Each reel can have between 2 and 7 symbols on it with every spin, which means the number of ways to win can vary between just 64 and the maximum that I mentioned earlier.
The betting range is wide enough to accommodate all types of players, low-rollers can start at just 20 cents per spin while those who like to place big bets can go all the way up to 100 euros. The default RTP rating is pretty good at 96.55%, while the volatility of this title is high.
Features
Those dogs are very keen on having fun, and so will you! All you have to do is follow the dog paw prints, those are Scatter symbols which can trigger the Bonus Game, which can mean between 7 and 30 free spins!
Before the feature begins you can choose whether you want to enjoy Sticky Wilds Free Spins or Raining Wilds Free Spins. The first option could land 2 to 7 sticky wilds on each reel with multipliers of x1 to x3. The wilds stick on the reels until the end of the free spins round, changing in size along with the reels on each roll.
The second choice will bring about up to 6 Wild symbols on screen in random position, carrying multipliers with them as well.
If you don’t have the patience to wait for the Bonus Game to trigger naturally, you can always try the Buy Free Spins option, it costs 100 times the stake. You don’t get a fixed number of free rolls for that price, though. What you will get is between 3 and 6 Scatters landing on the next spin.
Conclusion
The Dog House Megaways is a worthy sequel to a very good video slot, Pragmatic Play have done a very good job of taking an already excellent product to the next level. They have won awards for their games in the past and this title might even bring them some more silverware for the trophy cabinet.
The players that have enjoyed the original game will surely be thrilled to try out this improved version, especially since it features the much-appreciated Megaways mechanics. Last but not least, the biggest prize that you can land in this game is worth 12,305 times the stake and that’s not too shabby!
