How the game pays
Ordinary wins follow the game’s twenty paylines on a five-reel, three-row grid. A familiar symbol on a reel is not enough by itself: the active line, required combination and wild-substitution rules determine the result.
Sticky multiplier wilds
Wild symbols on the middle reels can carry multipliers. During the free-spin feature, sticky wilds remain for the stated sequence rather than disappearing after a single spin. When several multiplier wilds participate, the game’s combination rule determines the enhancement; do not assume every multiplier on screen affects every line.
What to watch in the demo
- Watch the boundary between the base game and the bonus.
- A wild that is temporary in an ordinary round can behave differently after the feature starts.
- Even a useful-looking sticky position does not guarantee that the surrounding reels complete a paying combination on the next free spin.
RTP and outcome variation
Pragmatic Play’s product page publishes 96.51% RTP. On an illustrative NZ$100 of total stakes, that rate gives a theoretical expected loss of NZ$3.49: NZ$100 × (1 − 96.51 / 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 a sticky wild guarantee the next spin wins?
No. It keeps a position under the feature rules; the remaining reels must still produce an eligible combination.
How does The Dog House compare with its related games?
Megaways changes reel heights and offers different wild features. Multihold uses additional grids. This page explains the original fixed-layout game.
