The Dog House Megaways review
Theme and Storyline
This is a slot for the dog lovers out
there.
The Dog House Megaways is 🔑 themed around a collection of dogs living in an
idealised suburban neighbourhood. The collection of mutts live in adjacent gardens, 🔑 dig
for bones, and if you get them all together in the right place, they reward you with
coins as 🔑 well as tail wagging.
The cartoonish style makes the little barkers seem
cheery and welcoming.

Graphics, Sounds
and Animations
The graphics are very cute. The variety and styles of dogs are varied
and interesting. Each 🔑 of them has been given a personality by the artist that shines
through.
The animations add greatly to the experience. Each 🔑 symbol is animated with a
short loop that is triggered whenever the symbol is part of a win.
The music is 🔑 a
little annoying after a short while, as are the ambient sounds of dogs barking. But the
win and spin 🔑 sounds are effective. And the sound menu lets you turn off the music if it
starts to get offensive.
Gameplay
The Dog 🔑 House Megaways uses the Megaways system. This
is a licenseable system that developers can reskin for their slots. Megaways games 🔑 are
any way wins, meaning that winning combinations are made by matching symbols appearing
in the reels from left to 🔑 right, starting in reel one.
Each of the six reels has a
random number of symbols on it. The number of 🔑 symbols will always be picked from two to
seven inclusive. This means that the number of ways to win varies 🔑 from spin to spin,
but the maximum is 117,649.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins
The Wild
symbol substitutes for all symbols 🔑 except the Scatter symbol and comes with a
randomised multiplier between x1 and x3. If multiple Wilds are part of 🔑 a winning
combination, the multipliers are combined (i.e. if there are two x3 multipliers a
winning combo, the final multiplier 🔑 is x9).
Three or more Scatters anywhere on the
reels will trigger the Free Spin Bonus.
Player has two choices when Free 🔑 Spins feature
is triggered
Players can choose from between two free spin bonuses: Sticky Wild Free
Spins and Raining Wild Free 🔑 spins. In Sticky Wild Free Spins, any Wild symbol that
lands remains on the reels until the final spin. As 🔑 the reels change size, so does the

In Raining Wilds Free Spins, up to six Wilds appear on every 🔑 single
spin.
Players can also buy directly into the Free Spins Bonus for 100 times their bet
per spin.
