Pragmatic Play released The Dog House Megaways in 2020 on the Megaways engine licensed from Big Time Gaming. The grid is 6 reels with 2 to 7 symbols visible per reel, dynamically calculating up to 117,649 active ways to win each spin. Volatility is High, the cap sits at 12,397x the bet, and bets range from 0.20 to 100. Theme is the franchise standard: three cartoon dachshunds on a suburban lawn, picket-fence and kennel iconography.
This is the Megaways tier of the Dog House franchise. The original is the 5x3, 20-payline anchor; the Megaways extension keeps the dachshund theme and the franchise-defining multiplicative Sticky Wild Multipliers, then adds the way count and cascading reels the engine brings. The horizontal symbol strip above the main reels drops one extra symbol every spin and feeds the way calculation.
Six reels each show 2 to 7 symbols per spin, with active ways recalculated on every drop and peaking at 117,649 when every reel lands at full height. After a paying combination winning symbols are removed, the rest cascade down, and new ones drop in; chains continue until no further wins form.
Free Spins trigger on Scatters with a fixed ladder. 4 Scatters award 12 free spins, 5 award 14, 6 award 16, and 7 award 18. 3 or more Scatters during the bonus retrigger on the same ladder.
Sticky Wild Multipliers are the franchise signature and only appear in Free Spins. Every Wild that lands becomes Sticky for the rest of the bonus, each carrying a random 2x or 3x multiplier. When two or more contribute to the same win their values MULTIPLY together, they do not add. Two 3x Wilds equal 9x on that win, not 6x; add a third 3x and the same line lifts to 18x. Stack enough across a long bonus and the 12,397x cap stops being theoretical.
Bonus Buy at 100x the stake triggers Free Spins immediately where the jurisdiction allows it. Ante Bet adds a 25% surcharge that raises scatter frequency in the base game.
The Megaways engine pays for matching symbols on adjacent reels from the leftmost reel, with no fixed paylines. Hit values rise with matched reels and scale to total bet; lows pay smallest, the dachshund premiums pay biggest, with the Wild and Scatter handling bonus mechanics.
| Symbol | Tier | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 10, J | Low | Card-rank low symbols, lowest payouts |
| Q, K | Low | Card-rank low symbols |
| A | Low (top) | Top of the card-rank tier |
| Yellow dachshund | Premium | Lowest paying premium |
| Brown dachshund | Premium | Mid paying premium |
| Black and tan dachshund | Premium (top) | Highest paying premium |
| Wild (Doghouse) | Special | Substitutes for all paying symbols; in Free Spins becomes Sticky and carries a random 2x or 3x multiplier |
| Scatter (Paw print) | Special | Pays from anywhere on the reels; 4 or more trigger Free Spins on the 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 ladder |
The Dog House Megaways is the Megaways tier of the franchise, sized for readers who already played the original.
| Game | Grid | Max Win | Volatility |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Dog House | 5x3, 20 paylines | 6,750x | High |
| The Dog House Multihold | 5x3, Hold and Spin | 7,725x | High |
| Bonanza Megaways | 6 reels, up to 117,649 ways | 12,000x | High |
The original Dog House is the lighter-engine entry point for players who want the franchise math without the Megaways way count. Dog House Multihold runs the Hold and Spin engine over the same theme and changes the bonus structure entirely. Bonanza Megaways is the canonical title that defined the Megaways engine, the cleanest peer reference for the way count and cascade mechanics.

The Dog House Megaways caps payouts at 12,397x the bet. The cap holds regardless of how many Sticky Wild Multipliers compound inside Free Spins.
4 Scatters anywhere on the reels award 12 free spins, 5 award 14, 6 award 16, and 7 award 18. 3 or more Scatters during the bonus retrigger, awarding additional spins.
Every Wild that lands during Free Spins becomes Sticky for the rest of the bonus, each carrying a random 2x or 3x multiplier. When two or more contribute to the same win their values multiply together, they do not add. Two 3x Wilds equal 9x on that win, not 6x.
Same dachshund theme and the same multiplicative Sticky Wild Multiplier math. The differences are the engine (5x3 with 20 paylines on the original, 6 reels with up to 117,649 dynamic ways on Megaways), cascading reels on the Megaways variant, and the max-win cap (6,750x vs 12,397x).
Bonus Buy is available at 100x the base stake where the jurisdiction allows, triggering Free Spins immediately. The in-game side panel shows whether the option is enabled in your region.
The Megaways extension keeps the franchise math and adds the engine that makes the ceiling matter: cascading reels and up to 117,649 active ways. The base game is quiet by design; the cap and the math both live inside the Free Spins round, which means this slot rewards a patient bankroll willing to play the free-spins lottery.
The standout mechanic is the multiplicative Sticky Wild Multiplier behaviour carried over from the original. Two 3x Wilds on the same win compound to 9x, not 6x, and that math is genuinely different from the additive multiplier engines on Sweet Bonanza or Gates of Olympus. It is the lever that pushes the 12,397x ceiling within reach.
High volatility plus a 12,397x cap means base-game dryness is the design. Size per-spin bets to survive a long stretch; Bonus Buy at 100x stake is the lever for players who want the bonus immediately. If variance feels too steep, the original The Dog House is the 5x3 entry point with the same math.
Recommended for Megaways fans who want the Dog House franchise math on a bigger engine; not recommended for low-bankroll session players who would be better served by the original Dog House.
