The Dog House Slot – A Howling Good Time with Sticky Wilds

Detailed Overview of The Dog House

Step into the backyard kennel of The Dog House, the Pragmatic Play original that introduced players to a pack of adorable but lucrative pups. This high-volatility slot features a 5×3 grid, 20 paylines, an RTP of 96.51%, and a max win of 6,750x. The cartoonish, vibrant design and cheerful barking sounds create a fun atmosphere. The game’s fame stems from its Sticky Wilds feature, where wilds lock in place and trigger respins, a mechanic that has become a hallmark of the series and a fan favorite for its building excitement.

The Dog House Gameplay and Features

Wins are formed from left to right on the 20 fixed lines. The special symbols are the Dog Wilds, represented by different breeds in a wild frame. When one or more wilds land, they trigger the Hold & Spin respin feature. The wilds stick, and you get one respin. If new wilds land on the respin, they also lock, and the respin counter resets. This continues until a respin yields no new wilds. At the end of the sequence, all wins from the locked wild positions are paid out. This feature can trigger in both the base game and the bonus round.

Bonus Rounds & Special Symbols in The Dog House

Landing 3 or more scatter symbols (the dog house) triggers the Free Spins bonus. Players are presented with a choice: more free spins (up to 27) with regular wilds, or fewer free spins (up to 9) with multiplier wilds (2x or 3x). During the free spins, the sticky wild respin feature is active. If you chose the multiplier wild option, the potential is huge: when multiple multiplier wilds are part of a win, their values are multiplied together (e.g., a 2x and a 3x create a 6x win), leading to exponentially bigger payouts.

The Dog House Verdict

The Dog House is a brilliantly designed slot that proves a great mechanic with a charming theme is timeless. The sticky wild respin feature is engaging in both the base game and bonus round, offering constant ‘mini-events’. The strategic choice in free spins adds depth. It’s a perfect slot for players who enjoy high volatility, love a good animal theme, and appreciate feature-based gameplay where wilds are not just substitutes but active agents that transform the entire round. A true classic that still delivers immense fun.

✨ The Slot's Tale

Molly was a rescue dog with fearful eyes, passed from home to home. No one had the patience for her shyness. She ended up at the county shelter, in the last kennel at the end of the row. A quiet carpenter named Joe visited, not looking for a dog, but to fix a broken gate. He saw Molly watching him, not barking, just observing. Her gaze reminded him of his own quiet nature. On a impulse, he adopted her. At home, Molly followed Joe everywhere but kept her distance. Joe, a man of few words, simply went about his work, speaking softly to her. He built her a beautiful, sturdy doghouse with a soft bed, not as a place to send her away, but as her own safe castle. One rainy night, a leak started in Joe’s workshop roof. Molly, from her house, barked once—a clear, sharp sound. Joe investigated and moved his priceless tools just before the ceiling fell in. From that moment, a deep bond sealed. The doghouse became the heart of their home, a symbol of safety given and protection returned. Molly learned to play, and Joe learned to smile more. They had both found their forever home in each other’s quiet company.
