How the kennel works - Megaways and wilds

Six reels with anywhere from 2 to 7 symbols each hand you up to 117,649 ways to win on every spin, and that number keeps shifting. Unlike plenty of other Megaways titles, winning symbols do not cascade away here, so the base game plays out without any avalanche mechanic.

The wild symbol is the dog house itself and can land on reels 2 through 5 carrying either a 2x or 3x multiplier. Land a couple of wilds in the same combo and their multipliers get added together, which can turn into a proper payout even in the base game.

Symbols and paytable

The paw print is the scatter, and the dog house wild substitutes for every regular symbol except the scatter itself.

Here's a fun one: the theoretical ceiling on the wild multiplier actually sits at a staggering 126x, if you somehow landed six wilds with a 3x multiplier in one combo. The odds are microscopic, but it's a fun number to chew on.

Free spins - Sticky Wilds or Raining Wilds

Land 3 to 6 paw print scatters and you get to pick between two bonus modes. Sticky Wilds hands out 7, 12, 15 or 20 free spins where wilds lock in place for the whole round, so the multipliers stack on top of each other. Raining Wilds instead gives 15, 18, 25 or 30 spins with up to 6 random wilds landing per spin, more explosive but harder to predict.

Want to skip straight to the action? The bonus can be bought for 100x your stake, though availability depends on where you're playing.

Bet levels and max win

Stakes range from CA$0.20 up to CA$100 per spin depending on the casino, and the ceiling on a single win is 12,305x your stake. Volatility runs seriously high, so your bankroll should be ready for a quiet stretch or two between the big hits.

Wondering how far your budget stretches across different RTP settings? Check out our spin calculator below.

If you start playing with $200 and bet $1 per spin, we can compare how many spins you get depending on the payout level.

At the highest level of 96.5%, you theoretically lose 3.5% of your bet per spin, which equals $0.04 per spin. That gives you approximately 5 714 spins before your budget runs out.

At a lower payout level of 94.5%, the theoretical loss is 5.5%, which is $0.06 per spin. That means you can spin approximately 3 636 times before the money runs out.

The difference is 2 078 spins between these levels – quite a significant difference when you think about it!

The studio behind the game

Pragmatic Play is behind The Dog House Megaways, and the studio is known for pumping out new titles at a relentless pace while keeping volatility noticeably high across much of its catalogue. The original The Dog House launched back in 2019, and the Megaways version followed in August 2020 with a much bigger max win and a reel setup that seriously ramps up the number of winning combos.

Our verdict on The Dog House Megaways

The base game can feel a touch flat without multipliers rolling in, but the choice between Sticky and Raining Wilds adds real variety once the bonus finally hits. The visuals are charming, the sound design is upbeat, and we genuinely like getting to pick our own bonus mode. Just keep an eye on your bankroll, this one is no game for the impatient.
