The Dog House review
Dogs are the cast and wilds are the point in this 2019 Pragmatic Play release. The Dog House keeps a familiar 5x3 grid with 20 lines, then puts multipliers on every wild that lands on the middle three reels. In the free spins, those wilds stick in place. The studio's own description is short, so this review stays close to those two ideas and to the numbers.
Twenty lines and multiplier wilds
The layout is five reels by three rows with 20 paylines. Wilds carry multipliers and appear on reels 2, 3 and 4, which means any line win that runs through the middle of the grid can be boosted.
The studio page does not give the multiplier values, the paytable or the scatter rules, so there is no reliable way to say how large a typical boosted win is. What can be said is that the base game has a built-in way to pay above line value whenever wilds join a win.
Sticky wilds in the bonus
During the free spins round, wilds become sticky and stay where they land, so wins can build across the round rather than spin by spin. The trigger and the number of spins are not described in our source.
Because sticky multiplier wilds carry over, a round that collects several wilds early has more potential in later spins. That points to a bonus that does most of the heavy lifting for the 6,750x ceiling.
By the numbers
One RTP is listed: 96.51%, a 3.49% house edge.
The maximum win is 6,750x the bet: $1,350 at $0.20, $6,750 at $1, $33,750 at $5. No volatility rating is published. As a cost guide, 100 spins at $1 average $3.49 and 100 spins at $5 average $17.45.
The kennel of follow-ups
Six later titles share the name. The Dog House Megaways came first in 2020 at 96.55%, followed by The Dog House Multihold (2023, 96.06%), The Dog House - Dog or Alive and The Dog House - Muttley Crew (both 2024, at 96.08% and 96.5%), The Dog House - Royal Hunt (2025, 96.5%) and The Dog House Megaways 1000 (2026, 96.5%).
Wild West Gold from 2020 shares the 96.51% RTP with a 10,000x cap; Aladdin and the Sorcerer from 2019 lists 96.23% and 6,532x.
Who it suits
This is a lines game for players who want to know where wins come from. The multiplier wilds give the base game some lift, and the sticky wilds make the free spins the main event. With no volatility rating and limited published rules, the free demo is the best way to see how often wilds appear before deciding on a stake.
Pros
- Simple 5x3 grid with 20 paylines
- Wilds on reels 2, 3 and 4 carry multipliers
- Sticky wilds during the free spins
- Free official demo available
Cons
- Multiplier values and the free spins trigger are not published in our source
- No volatility rating is published
- Max win of 6,750x is lower than several sequels
Verdict
The Dog House is a clean 20-line slot with two clear ideas: multiplier wilds on the middle reels and sticky wilds in the free spins. Its RTP is 96.51%, and the top win is 6,750x, but no volatility rating is published and the studio shares few rule details. Use the free demo first and treat the 3.49% house edge as the cost of play.
