The Dog House-Royal Hunt
Ahaa! After a long time, Pragmatic Play decided to expand its famous, perhaps cutest series, “The Dog House.” It started with The Dog House—Dog or Alive, then The Dog House—Muttley Crew, and now we have a new addition named “The Dog House—Royal Hunt.”
The Dog House offers a very feel-good slot all in all. It’s set against a lush green background alongside a castle, and playful dog characters as symbols collectively make a perfect theme of some fairyland and whimsical atmosphere. Do we have horses anywhere, why does it sound like every time we spin? Was curious
Here they have 5 high symbols, 2 middle symbols and 4 low symbols.
Landing five-of-a-kind low symbols rewards players with payouts ranging from 1.25x to 2.5x the bet. Mid symbols offer payouts of up to 5x to – 7x the bet, while the high symbols win between 10x – 37.5x
The Dog House -Royal Hunt may appear deceptively gentle at first glance, but it packs a punch with an enticing jackpot of up to 8,000x the bet—something to chase for!

Game Mechanics
Wild Multiplier
- Wild substitutes all symbols, except for Bonus.
- It can only land on the middle three reels(2,3,4) with each wild having a multiplier of 2x or 3x.
- When multiple wilds contribute to the same win, their multiplier values are combined for an even bigger payout.
Free Spins
- Triggering Free Spins:
- Landing 3 scatter symbols activates the Free Spins round.
- If scatter symbols can move down without disappearing from view, a spin occurs where reels with scatters shift down, and reels without scatters respin.
- Determining Free Spins:
- Before the bonus round begins, a 3×3 grid spins.
- Each position on the grid reveals 1, 2, or 3 free spins.
- The numbers are summed to determine the total free spins awarded.
- Sticky Wilds Feature:
- During the feature, wild symbols on the three middle reels become sticky, remaining in place for the entire round.
- Each sticky wild has a random multiplier revealed upon landing, which remains fixed until the feature ends.
- No Retriggers:
- Scatter symbols do not appear during free spins, making retriggers impossible.
Feature Buy
- Pay 100x the bet to buy the free spins feature.
- “Unlock Royal Free Spins for 500x your bet, where Wild symbols explode with massive multipliers of x10 or x20 whenever they land!”
100 Spins Experience
During my 100-spin experience with a bet of $2.00 per spin, I was fortunate enough to trigger a bonus round. The bonus round began with a mini-game that determined the number of free spins, and I was rewarded with 13 free spins in total.
Throughout the free spins, the anticipation built as wild multipliers occasionally appeared, adding excitement to each spin. However, luck wasn’t entirely on my side, and the total win from the bonus round amounted to $23.00—falling short of expectations given the potential of the feature.
The overall feel of The Dog House Royal Hunt was lighthearted and nostalgic, capturing the charm of the original The Dog House game. The mechanics, visuals, and features felt quite familiar, providing a sense of comfort but lacking in innovation. Players who enjoyed the original may appreciate the consistency, but those looking for something new might find it underwhelming.
The Dog House-Royal Hunt Final Impression
Well, the game seems to blend very well together with all the efforts made by graphics, animations and sounds. It definitely comes under the CUTE category and has a separate audience. At first glance, it would be a feel-good slot.
The Dog House series is well-known for its wild multipliers and exciting free spin feature. After playing several rounds, it’s clear that not many new additions have been introduced to the game. While the game promises high multipliers, they don’t appear as often as players might hope. This inconsistency can make it challenging to get rewarding wins. The option to buy free spins costs a hefty 500x the bet. While this can lead to big rewards if multipliers hit, the investment is risky and can be a significant drain on your balance if luck isn’t on your side.
The favorable side is, OG fans of the original Dog House game will feel right at home with the familiar mechanics. The straightforward gameplay and rewarding features provide a nostalgic yet satisfying experience in The Dog House
