Most confusion starts with one question: what do these numbers mean for my money?
| What it means | In plain terms |
|---|---|
| Provider | Pragmatic Play |
| Return to player | 96.06% / 96.08% |
| Volatility | High |
| Grid | 5x3 |

You pick a dog-themed slot on a 5x3 grid of five reels and three rows. The Dog House Multihold pays on 20 fixed paylines, and each win needs at least 3 matching symbols on one line. Wins are paid from the leftmost reel to the right, so a line must start on reel 1. Symbols include dog breeds, collars, bones and the card values A, K, Q and J.
You reach the bonus when three BONUS symbols land on reels 1, 3 and 5. Free Spins start with 7 spins, and a WILD on the active matrix sticks until the round ends. Multihold adds up to four 3x5 matrices, each with its own paylines. Three SCATTER symbols on the last open matrix unlock the next one and add 1 to 3 spins.
Buy the round for 100 times the total bet, which is A$1,000 at the example top bet of A$10.

The Dog House Multihold
You will know how a round runs, from the bet to the free spins and your limit.
Pick a bet between A$0.20 and A$240 before the first spin. The bet sets every win, so A$1 and A$10 are the examples this page uses.
Check each of the 20 fixed paylines on the 5x3 grid, since every win counts from the leftmost reel to the right.
Look for the WILD doghouse on reels 2 to 4, where a random x2 or x3 multiplier applies to that spin's wins.
Land three BONUS symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 to start Free Spins with 7 spins, where WILDs on the active matrix stay sticky.
Decide your loss limit before the first spin, because high volatility means long runs without a win are possible.

When the round starts
Read this before the first spin, or once a bonus round has started and its rules apply.
Spin the 5x3 grid and every win pays left to right, starting from the leftmost reel, across 20 fixed paylines. A WILD (doghouse) on reels 2-4 carries a random x2/x3 multiplier per spin. BONUS symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 trigger Free Spins.
Game lobby20 fixed paylines
Land 3 BONUS symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 to start Free Spins. The round opens with 7 free spins on special reels. A WILD landing on the active matrix becomes sticky and stays until the round ends. The round is capped at the 9,000x bet max win.
Base Game spin7 free spins
Play Free Spins across up to 4 matrices, starting with the top-left one unlocked. Land 3 SCATTER symbols on the last unlocked matrix to open the next one (top-right, then bottom-left, then bottom-right). Each unlock awards 1-3 extra free spins, twice if two matrices unlock on the same spin.

Deciding how much to stake on The Dog House Multihold depends on a number no one can know beforehand: how often the bonus round arrives. Each spin is random, so the result of one session is random too, whatever RTP version the game runs. A dry run does not make a bonus due, and a quick win does not signal one soon.
Checking the RTP before you bet means opening the game rules. Those rules are the only place that shows which of the two RTP versions this game runs, so a percentage seen elsewhere is not enough to go by.
Planning around the top prize means reading the maximum win as a ceiling, not a target. The maximum win of The Dog House Multihold is 9,000 times the bet, and it is reached very rarely. No one can say in advance whether a given session will come near it.

Pick this version if you want free spins spread over up to four separate matrices. The round starts with one matrix unlocked, and three SCATTER symbols on the last unlocked matrix opens the next one. Each matrix has its own paylines and pays separately.
Choose your bet first, because the top win is 9,000 times the stake. At the A$10 example bet, that is A$90,000. The free spins round stops at the same cap, so no single round pays above it.
Plan for uneven results because this game has high volatility. Long stretches without a win are part of that profile, and a large win can land on any spin. How often the bonus comes cannot be known in advance.
Pick any stake from A$0.20 up to A$240, the highest bet allowed here. The paytable is shown for A$1, and the examples on this page use A$1 and A$10 only to make the figures easy to read.
Decide first whether A$1,000 fits your limit for one session. The buy costs 100 times the current total bet, so at A$10 the free spins cost A$1,000. The same bonus can also trigger from the base game by landing three BONUS symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5.

Set a budget before you start and treat it as the most you can lose. Once it is spent, the session is over.
Decide when you will stop before the first spin, and keep to that time after a big win.
Use the deposit and loss limits in your account before you add funds. A limit set in advance still applies when a session goes well.
