The Dog House Bonus Features

WILD. The symbol itself looks like a kennel. Only 2, 3, and 4 reels include the wild symbol. Every time a spin is completed, all WILDs that are located on the same reel are awarded a random multiplier of either 2x or 3x. If there is more than one WILD symbol that contributes to the win on a payline, then the multipliers of all WILD symbols that contribute to that payline are added together.

Free Spins. To activate the Free Spins bonus round, you need to gather three Bonus symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5. If you manage to gather 3 Bonus symbols, you will be rewarded with a prize equal to 5 times your entire stake. A certain amount of free spins is given out before the beginning of the round. A grid of three-by-three reels will automatically rotate to reveal the amount of free spins contained inside each individual cell. The sum is determined by adding together all of the numbers contained in each individual cell. If you get a WILD symbol on reels 2, 3, or 4, it will stay on the screen for the whole of the Free Spins Bonus Round. Sticky WILD symbols each have their own unique multiplier that is revealed whenever a WILD symbol appears, and it stays the same all the way through to the conclusion of the round. It is not possible to reactivate this function.

Our Experience Playing The Dog House

When we first started the game, we were met with a charming pack of dogs that had been beautifully painted, as well as music that put a grin on your face and put us in a good mood. We have never played this slot before, but we have heard so many good things about it that we decided to try it out for ourselves to see whether it lives up to the hype. In order to evaluate this slot machine, we performed our standard test, which consisted of making a deposit of 200 Euros, adjusting the stake to 1 Euro, and spinning the reels for around 300 times.  Due to the Multiplier Wilds, we were able to pull in a few of respectable winnings of about 15 Euros apiece within the first hundred spins of the game, nevertheless, this was not sufficient to cover the cost of the game, and we were 18 Euros in the red at this point. This was not that bad for a slot with high volatility. We had just reached the halfway point of our next 100 spins when we triggered the bonus round. This round granted us 14 free spins, which ultimately led to a large payout of 259,65 Euros. The remaining 1 hundred spins were, for the most part, rather boring, however, we did manage to activate the bonus round one more time before we ran out of the spins. The payoff for this round was 136.20 Euros, which we thought was still a very respectable amount. We anticipated correctly that the slot's extra feature was the primary reason for its widespread acclaim, and as a result, we walked away with 190 euros in our pockets.

Verdict

Because of its fluid animation, playing this slot machine is quite fun to do so for extended periods of time. However, after a time the music may get a little bit annoying, and because of this, we strongly suggest that you turn it off. The bonus round on this slot machine, which includes sticky wilds, may be triggered rather often, and in our experience, it pays out quite a bit of money when it does. This is the game's primary selling point. Nevertheless, you need to be cautious since this is a slot machine that has a high degree of volatility. If you don't know when to stop playing and take your winnings, you may end up losing everything rather quickly. If you have not tried this slot before, you should definitely give it a shot. Good luck and have fun!
