The Dog House review
The Dog House is Pragmatic Play's playful kennel-themed slot, and for many South African players it was the first title that showed what a sticky-wild bonus can really do. It runs on a familiar 5x3 grid with 20 paylines, but the free spins are where it bares its teeth: wilds lock in place and carry multipliers that stack up fast.

How The Dog House works
The base game pays left to right across 20 lines, with the pack of dogs and the doghouse itself topping the paytable. Wilds appear only on reels 2, 3 and 4, and each one can already carry a random 2x or 3x multiplier that boosts any line it completes — so even the base game can throw a decent hit when the multipliers align.
Land three or more paw-print scatters and you unlock 10 free spins. Now the signature mechanic kicks in: any wild that drops sticks to the reels for the rest of the round, keeping its multiplier active. Fill the middle reels with locked wilds and their multipliers combine — that is the route to the 6750x ceiling. Three scatters during the bonus retrigger another 10 spins.
