How The Dog House Works

  1. Base game pays on fixed lines on a 5×3 grid. Quiet stretches are normal between features.
  2. Scatters trigger free spins. Dog wilds that land during the feature typically stick and can carry multipliers.
  3. Stacked sticky dogs are where the big kennel hits come from — that is the whole identity of the slot.
  4. Later editions (Megaways, Multihold, Dice) reuse the sticky-dog fantasy with different engines and ceilings.

Key Features

Sticky wild dogs

Wild dogs that stick during free spins are the franchise signature — multipliers stack the upside.

Free spins kennel

Most of the return sits in the feature. Base game is the waiting room.

Fixed-grid clarity

Easier to read than Megaways if you want the dog fantasy without changing ways every spin.

Franchise variants

Megaways, Multihold and seasonal editions extend the kennel — compare ceilings before you switch.

The Dog House Variants

Dog House editions share sticky wilds but not the same max-win class. Compare before you switch.

Who The Dog House Is For

The Dog House suits players who want sticky wild free spins on a fixed grid — not Megaways ways chaos and not a tumble candy slot.

  • Pick base when you want the classic kennel loop and 6,750× class.
  • Move to Megaways when you want more ways and a higher 12,305× ceiling.
  • Keep stakes small — high vol and feature-led returns.
  • If you want fishing collect instead, see Big Bass Splash / Bonanza.

vs Dog House Megaways & Big Bass Splash

Base Dog House is the fixed-grid kennel. Megaways raises ways and ceiling; Big Bass is a different collect fantasy if you want fishing instead of dogs.

TitleWhen to pick it
The Dog House Fixed-grid sticky wild dogs, 6,750× class — classic kennel entry.
The Dog House Megaways Variable ways + sticky dogs, 12,305× class — more chaos, more ceiling.
Big Bass Splash Fishing collect instead of kennel wilds — 5,000× sequel ceiling.

Choose base Dog House for sticky clarity; Megaways for ways + higher cap; Splash when you want fishing collect.
