The Dog House

About The Dog House

The Dog House is one of Pragmatic Play's most recognisable games, released in March 2019 and still widely played years later. A suburban kennel, cartoon dogs, and a structure that deliberately refuses to do anything clever: five reels, three rows, twenty fixed paylines, no cascades and no grid mechanics.

Everything runs on one idea. Wilds land only on the middle three reels and each carries a 2x or 3x multiplier. Where several land on the same payline, those multipliers add together rather than multiplying, capping at 9x. In the Free Spins round the wilds stick where they land and hold their multipliers to the end, so the grid fills up as the round runs down. Maximum win is 6,750x stake.

How to Play The Dog House

Wins pay left to right from reel one across twenty fixed paylines, with three or more matching symbols needed on adjacent reels. All lines are active on every spin. Stakes at Midnite start from £0.20 per spin.

The paw print is the wild and appears only on reels two, three and four, never on the outer reels. Each one arrives with a 2x or 3x multiplier attached, and if it forms part of a winning line that multiplier applies. Where more than one wild sits on the same line the values are added, so three 3x wilds give 9x rather than 27x. The dog house scatter lands on reels one, three and five only, and three of them open the Free Spins round.

The Dog House Features

• Fixed Paylines: All 20 paylines are active on every spin and pay left to right from reel one.
• Multiplier Wilds: The paw print wild lands only on reels 2, 3 and 4, carrying a 2x or 3x multiplier that applies to any winning line it completes.
• Additive Multipliers: Where several wilds sit on the same payline, their multipliers are added together rather than multiplied, giving a maximum of 9x on a single line.
• Scatter on Reels 1, 3 and 5: The dog house scatter appears only on the odd-numbered reels, and three are needed to open the bonus.
• Free Spins: Triggered by 3 scatters. The number of spins awarded is drawn at random and can be anywhere from 9 to 27.
• Sticky Wilds: Every wild landing during the Free Spins round locks in place and holds its multiplier until the final spin.
• Retriggers: Landing 3 more scatters during the round awards further spins with all existing sticky wilds still in place.

The Dog House Theme and Symbols

The reels sit in front of a suburban back garden with a kennel, a picket fence and a bright blue sky. Pragmatic Play kept the artwork cartoonish and the sound light, and the dogs beside the grid react when wins land. There is nothing atmospheric about it, which suits a game whose appeal is entirely mechanical.

Wooden 10 to Ace card ranks fill the low-value positions. Above them sit a bone, a collar and four dog character symbols. The paw print is the wild and the kennel is the scatter. Because the wild is restricted to the middle three reels, the outer reels can never carry one, which is a deliberate constraint: it means the multipliers concentrate in the centre of the grid where they can catch the most paylines at once.
