What is The Dog House
The Dog House is a Pragmatic Play slot released in 2019 and still one of the most-played titles in the South African online slots lobby. The Saint Bernard theme sits on a five-reel, three-row layout with 20 fixed paylines. The base game is straightforward. The action sits in the free spins round, where Saint Bernard wilds become sticky and carry multipliers of 2x or 3x for the rest of the bonus.
Three variants are live at 10bet: the original, The Dog House Megaways, and The Dog House Muttley Crew. Each plays slightly differently, with the same cartoon characters and visual style.
What players like
- Saint Bernard sticky wilds keep paying through the bonus round
- Clean base game with a clear path to the big-hit free spins
- 96.07% RTP and three variants to suit different player styles
- Built mobile-first by Pragmatic Play, runs cleanly on the 10bet app
What to watch for
- High volatility means long dry spells between bonus rounds
- Most of the payout potential sits inside the free spins, not the base game
- A small balance can disappear quickly at high stakes
- Stick to a session budget set before you spin
How to Play The Dog House
The Dog House follows a familiar five-reel slot format. The bonus mechanics are what make it stand out.
- Set your stake
Choose a spin amount from R1 upwards. Lower stakes give more attempts at the bonus round on a small balance. - Spin the reels
Match three or more matching symbols across consecutive reels from the leftmost reel to win on a payline. - Land Saint Bernard wilds
The Saint Bernard substitutes for every symbol except the scatter. In the base game, it can carry a 2x or 3x multiplier when it contributes to a win. - Trigger free spins
Three or more Dog House scatters anywhere on the reels trigger 9 free spins. - Stack sticky multiplier wilds
In the bonus, every Saint Bernard that lands becomes sticky for the rest of the round, each with a 2x or 3x multiplier. The multipliers stack on shared paylines.
