The Big Dog House – Overview
The Dog House is a very successful series of slots from Pragmatic Play that has received several titles, like for instance The Dog House Megaways and The Dog House Dog or Alive. And now it’s time for The Big Dog House.
That name fits pretty good because although it’s the same theme as you are used off. This one offers a lot of ante bets, bonus buys and special wilds. The most of all.
For the theme, like I said, it’s still the same symbols, dogs and all. You would hardly notice the difference between this one and the original game.
You will find 5 reels that are each 3 symbols high and a total of 20 paylines.
Besides low paying card symbols and medium to high paying dog themed and dog symbols, you will also find scatter symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5. Wild symbols can appear on reels 2, 3 and 4 only.
The Big Dog House comes with a big maximum payout of 15.000 times your bet and is a medium volatile slot game.
Features
Wilds
Wild symbols only appear on reels 2, 3 and 4 and can appear as normal 1×1 wilds, expanding wilds that fill the entire reel and a giant 3×3 wild symbol that fills all middle three reels.
Any wild that appears comes with a random multiplier of x2 or 3.
Free Spins Features
On reels 1, 3 and 5 scatter symbols can land. But you have normal scatters, but also a Biggie Bonus scatter and a Ghost Out Bonus scatter. If you get 3 scatters at the same time you will trigger the free spins feature.
A random number of between 9 ad 27 free spins are awarded.
During normal free spins all wild symbols are 1×1 symbols big and become sticky when they appear. A special Ghost Wild can land on reel 5, when this appears, a random sticky wild will be removed from the reels.
If the Biggie Bonus was one of the triggering scatters, wild symbols are always stacked or colossal. If the Ghost Out scatter is one of the triggering scatters, there are n Ghost wilds n reel 5.
Lastly, you can also have both special bonuses active, combining the Biggie and Ghost Out bonus.
You can’t win extra free spins during this feature.
Bonus Buy
This game comes with a huge amount of special ante bets. Check them yourself to see what they do.
But it also offers the option to buy free spins for 100x bet. Buy Biggie Free Spins for 200x bet and Ghost Out Free Spins for 200x bet as well. Lastly buying free spins with both special bonuses active will cost you 500x bet.
Verdict
The Big Dog House really is the biggest game of the series. And I’m not just talking about the maximum payout, which is also the biggest from all titles. I’m talking about options.
They have put every thinkable ante bet, bonus bet and bonus buy into this game. And to be honest. It’s a bit too much and some of them are just too expensive for the payout.
Personally I would skip all ante and bonus bets all together. But the bonus buys are great, as always, to get your free spins instantly.
The theme is exactly the same. But the bonus is a bit more upgraded because of the different types of wilds that can appear. Which is pretty well done. But you now can also get that ghost wild, removing a wild.
Overall I think this is a great new addition to the Dog House slots from Pragmatic Play.
Let me know what you think, the game is now available at any trusted Pragmatic Play casino.
