Graphics, Sounds
and Animations
The graphics are very cute. The variety and styles of dogs are varied
and interesting. Each3️⃣ of them has been given a personality by the artist that shines
through.
The animations add greatly to the experience. Each3️⃣ symbol is animated with a
short loop that is triggered whenever the symbol is part of a win.
The music is3️⃣ a
little annoying after a short while, as are the ambient sounds of dogs barking. But the
win and spin3️⃣ sounds are effective. And the sound menu lets you turn off the music if it
starts to get offensive.
Gameplay
The Dog3️⃣ House Megaways uses the Megaways system. This
is a licenseable system that developers can reskin for their slots. Megaways games3️⃣ are

Each of the six reels has a
random number of symbols on it. The number of3️⃣ symbols will always be picked from two to
seven inclusive. This means that the number of ways to win varies3️⃣ from spin to spin,
but the maximum is 117,649.
