How the game pays
On the main 5×3 layout, multiplier wilds can carry 2x or 3x values. When several contribute to a winning combination, their values follow the edition’s addition rule. Read the base paytable before treating several visible wilds as a multiplier for the entire screen.
Unlocking additional reel sets
Three bonus symbols start the feature with one unlocked grid. Further qualifying scatter events can unlock a second, third and fourth grid. Each added reel set expands the feature’s active area under the Multihold rules; the scatter count and remaining spins should be followed separately.
What to watch in the demo
- The key observation is which grids are active and which wild positions persist on each.
- A four-grid picture in promotional artwork does not mean every feature begins with four unlocked sets.
- Additional grids create more evaluated arrangements but still do not promise that the resulting combinations pay.
RTP and outcome variation
Pragmatic Play’s product page publishes 96.06% RTP. On an illustrative NZ$100 of total stakes, that rate gives a theoretical expected loss of NZ$3.94: NZ$100 × (1 − 96.06 / 100). This is a turnover example, not a forecast for a NZ$100 deposit. A short session can lose the full balance or produce a very different result.

Demo questions
Does every feature start with four grids?
No. The feature begins with its initial unlocked grid and can unlock additional reel sets through qualifying scatter events.
How does The Dog House Multihold compare with its related games?
The original Dog House uses one fixed layout. Megaways changes reel heights and offers a different feature choice instead of Multihold’s grid-unlocking progression.
