Colourful and charming, the setting is an idyllic surburban street where you’ll see clear blue skies, rolling hills and houses surrounded by white picket fences. As with other The Dog House slots, the reels are encased by a dog house. The soundtrack is playful and relaxing.

On the reels, you’ll come across colourful A, K, Q, J and 10 royals. The higher-value symbols include dog bones, dog collars as well as a dachshund, pug, shih tzu and rottweiler. The rottweiler symbol is the highest paying, offering 7.5 x your total bet for 6 in combination.

There is a substituting Dog House Wild symbol that appears on reels 2-5 and can contain a random multiplier (more on this below). Other special symbols include the Paw Print Bonus Scatter and Super Paw Print Bonus Scatter: these are key to triggering various free spins modes.

The Dog House Megaways 1000 Mobile

The Dog House Megaways 1000 was created using HTML5 technology: this means it can be played on mobile, tablet and desktop devices, with Portrait Mode used when playing on an iOS or Android smartphone.

The Dog House Megaways 1000 benefits from multiplier wilds up to 1000x, free spins with random wilds or sticky wilds (with multipliers up to 1000x) and Super/All Super versions.

Multiplier Wilds

Dog House Wild symbol appears on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5. Substituting when part of a winning combination, Dog House Wilds may carry a random multiplier between 1x and 1000x. If multiple wilds are part of the same winning combination, multipliers multiply each other.

Free Spins

Hitting 3, 4, 5 or 6 Paw Print Bonus Scatters anywhere during a base game spin will trigger the Free Spins feature, with 7, 12, 15 or 20 free spins, respectively. You then choose from 2 options:

• Sticky Wilds Free Spins: Sticky Wilds land on reels 2-5 and contain random multipliers up to 1000x. They remain on the reels until the end of the feature, changing size randomly.
• Random Wilds Free Spins: Up to 6 Random Wilds of any size with a multiplier up to 1000x will be added on every free spin.

Pragmatic Play also offers ‘Super’ and ‘All Super’ versions of the free spins modes.

• Super Free Spins: Triggered by 3+ Paw Print Bonus Scatters with a minimum of 1 Super Paw Print Bonus Scatter, a random number of Wilds or Sticky Wilds can hit on every free spin. Sticky Wilds remain on the reels.
• All Super Free Spins: Triggered by 3, 4, 5 or 6 Super Paw Print Bonus Scatters, you'll get 7, 12, 15 or 20 free spins, a random number of Random or Sticky Wilds are guaranteed to land on reels 2-5 on each free spin.

Ante Bet, Super Spins & Bonus Buy

The Dog House Megaways 1000 offers several special options. With the Ante Bet and Super Spin options available in the UK, Bonus Buy ones are not. With a 96.5% RTP rate for all options, below are all the details:

• Ante Bet: costing 3 x bet, there is a 10% higher chance of triggering the free spins

The Dog House Megaways 1000 Slot

Rating: 3.8/5

The Dog House Megaways 1000 comes with multiplier wilds up to 1000x, more variations of the free spins and 25,000 x bet max win potential.

Being the 8^th game in The Dog House series and 12^th in the 1000 series, The Dog House Megaways 1000 slot is pretty much what you’d expect it to be. The theme is as playful as ever with Pragmatic Play not changing much aesthetically.

With multiplier wilds in the base game, The Dog House Megaways 1000 offers multiplier wilds worth up to 1000x. This is much higher than the 2x and 3x multiplier wilds offered in The Dog House or The Dog House Megaways. Even though the 1000x wild multipliers will be rare, 1 lucky spin can lead to huge payouts.

In the Free Spins feature, Raining Wilds have been replaced with Random Wilds, even though they are the same. With my recommendation to go for Sticky Wilds, wilds can contain multiplier values up to 1000x. If you’re lucky enough to trigger the ‘All Super’ version, you will be guaranteed wilds on every free spin.

With 25,000 x bet max wins, The Dog House Megaways 1000 offers nearly double the max win potential of the highest-paying The Dog House game (The Dog House Megaways comes with 12,305 x bet max wins). Compared to other 1000 series slots, it’s on par with Big Bass Splash 1000, Lucky Tiger 1000, Sweet Bonanza 1000 and Sugar Rush 1000.

In summary, The Dog House Megaways 1000 is bigger and potentially more lucrative than its predecessors but its range of Super Spin and Bonus Buy options are catered more to non-UK players. I would hope that future instalments introduce something new mechanically to keep players guessing.
