The Dog House Multihold Slot Review

The Dog House Multihold offers a charming return to a familiar suburban setting, bringing back the beloved canine characters from the original online slot. This Pragmatic Play release aims to be a mood lifter, featuring a base game that closely mirrors its predecessor. Players will find the familiar wooden dog house setting, complete with multiplier wilds of up to x3 on reels 2, 3, and 4. These multipliers combine for enhanced payouts and become sticky during the bonus round.

The 'Multihold' aspect introduces the exciting possibility of unlocking up to three additional game grids within the feature. Sticky wilds are then cloned across all activated grids, potentially leading to significant wins. While testing, we found the experience to be enjoyable, offering a blend of familiar gameplay with innovative new features.

The Dog House Multihold Slot Features

The premium symbols in The Dog House Multihold consist of four cute dog characters, offering payouts ranging from 3.75 to 25 times your stake for landing five of a kind. Wild symbols can appear on the middle three reels (2, 3, and 4) and carry multiplier values of x2 or x3. These wilds substitute for regular pay symbols to help form or improve winning combinations. When multiple wilds are part of the same line win, their multiplier values are added together before being applied.

To trigger the Bonus Round, players need to land 3 paw scatters on reels 1, 3, and 5 in the base game, which also awards an upfront payout of 2x your stake. You are granted 7 free spins to begin with. The bonus round introduces the potential to unlock 3 extra 5x3 grids. You start with a single active grid, and collecting 3 paw scatters on the currently unlocked grid will reveal the next one. Up to four grids can be active simultaneously. Paw scatters only appear on the most recently unlocked grid.

All wild symbols that land on any active grid during the free spins become locked in place for the remainder of the feature. These wilds also come with multipliers in the bonus round. Importantly, wilds become sticky only on the last unlocked grid, but they are cloned to appear in the same positions from the start when a new grid is activated. Additionally, unlocking each new grid grants between 1 and 3 extra spins. If you unlock two grids on a single free spin, you receive an additional 1 to 3 spins per grid unlocked.

For players outside the UK, or those in eligible jurisdictions, a Bonus Buy option is available. This allows direct purchase of the bonus round for 100x your stake. The top-tier RTP for the bonus buy option is 96.08%, slightly higher than the regular top-tier RTP. The bonus round has an organic hit rate of approximately 1 in 175.54 spins.

Gameplay Experience

Our 200 spins on The Dog House Multihold provided a good feel for the base game before we managed to trigger the bonus round. Upon activation, we received the standard 7 free spins from the three triggering scatters. During the feature, we observed some substantial payouts across multiple reel sets, showcasing the potential of the multi-grid system. We recommend trying the game yourself to experience its unique mechanics.

Review Summary

The Dog House Multihold maintains the endearing canine visuals that have kept the original slot popular for years. The cheerful suburban backdrop and blue skies contribute to a happy atmosphere, amplified by the presence of the cute dog characters. The base game mechanics are very similar to the first instalment, meaning the overall appeal largely rests on the bonus round.

While multi-grid concepts are not entirely new in the online slot world, Pragmatic Play has implemented them in an interesting way here. The bonus round becomes progressively more rewarding as you activate additional grids. However, activating even one extra grid can be challenging with only 7 starting free spins, and the feature's enjoyment is contingent on favourable outcomes. The maximum win potential of 9,000x your stake is a notable improvement over the original, offering a compelling reason to give The Dog House Multihold a spin.
