Five reels, three rows and twenty fixed paylines carry a dog-grooming theme: a Rottweiler, a lap dog in a pink bow, a Pug and a Dachshund share the reels with collars, bones and card symbols. Wins need three matching symbols on a line, so a payline pays from the leftmost reel onward. Wilds land on reels two, three and four only, and each one brings its own multiplier.
Pragmatic Play keeps the base game plain and leans on one idea: wild multipliers of 2x or 3x that add together when several sit on one line. Free spins make those wilds sticky and fix each multiplier where it landed, with fresh reel strips for the round. There is no scatter-pays scatter, no cascading wins and no extra grid here.
Two Rounds, One Slot
Read this before you spin, once the base game has shown you its wilds and scatters.
Three BONUS symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 open a 3x3 grid where each cell reveals 1 to 3, and the total becomes the number of Free Spins. WILDs landing on reels 2, 3 or 4 stay stuck for the round with their 2x or 3x multiplier fixed, and multiple stuck WILDs on a line add together.
Base gameSticky wild spins
Five reels by three rows run 20 fixed paylines, with WILD on reels 2, 3 and 4 only, each carrying a random 2x or 3x multiplier and stacking additively along a line. BONUS sits on reels 1, 3 and 5, pays 5x the total bet on three of a kind and opens the Free Spins round.

Round guide
The most common worry is not knowing what happens next, so each step explains it.
A$0.20 is the lowest stake and A$240 the highest, both set before the first spin. Each win is calculated from the total bet, so a higher stake raises every payout.
20 fixed paylines decide where a win forms. Three matches is the fewest that pay, and three BONUS symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 pay 5x the total bet.
2x or 3x is the random multiplier each WILD carries on reels 2, 3 and 4. A WILD replaces every symbol except BONUS, and WILDs on one payline add their multipliers.
3 BONUS symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 trigger Free Spins. A 3x3 grid reveals 1 to 3 in each of nine cells, and their sum is the spins awarded.
20 paylines are always in play, so each spin costs the chosen bet, win or not. Set a loss limit before the first spin, and stop when the balance reaches it.
At A$100 staked, 96.51 comes back over the long run and the rest is the house margin. The version a site runs is listed in the game rules panel.

3 BONUS symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 start the Free Spins, yet no one can tell in advance how often that happens. Each session is a run of random outcomes. Some sessions end without a bonus, others bring several. The RTP of 96.51 describes the return over a long series of rounds, not the outcome of a single visit.
96.51 is the only RTP version listed for The Dog House on this page. Which version is running here is shown only in the game rules, so read them before the first stake. The rules name the version in play, and the figure on this page cannot replace them.
x6,750 is the highest multiple of the bet the game can pay, a ceiling that players reach very rarely. Reaching it depends on the feature outcomes of one round, and no session is guaranteed to get close. Treat the figure as the upper limit of the game, not as a typical result.
Practice Round
Many players first ask whether a practice round costs money or can pay out real winnings.
The demo needs no money and pays no real winnings. The real game needs a Goldbet Casino account and the legal age of 18+.

Know before you wager
You will leave knowing how a round runs, what each bet means, and what no one can predict.
The 5x3 grid of The Dog House, its 20 fixed paylines and its two modes are all set out on this page before any real-money bet. The smallest bet is A$0.20, so a first session can start low.
A$0.20 is the lowest bet on The Dog House and A$240 the highest per spin. This page uses A$5 and A$10 only as examples of how payouts scale.
96.51 percent is the RTP of The Dog House, the return over a very large number of spins per A$100 staked. Other versions in the series sit between 96.50 and 96.53 percent. A single session can differ widely from it.
Volatility is high. In practice, wins tend to come further apart, and a single win can be far larger than the bet that produced it. No one can know in advance how often the bonus will come or how a session will end.
6,750 times the bet is the maximum win of The Dog House, which is A$1,620,000 at the top bet of A$240 and A$67,500 at a bet of A$10. That is a ceiling for one spin, not an amount any player can expect.
