Choose your stake before the first spin, because every win is paid as a multiple of it. The Dog House Megaways™ is a dog-themed video slot with six reels. Each reel shows a different number of symbols from round to round, up to seven, which creates up to 117,649 ways to win. A win needs three matching symbols on adjacent reels, counted from the leftmost reel.
Pick a free spins mode once the bonus opens, since sticky and raining wilds differ. Sticky Wilds Free Spins keeps landing wilds in place for the whole round, each with a random 1x, 2x or 3x multiplier. Raining Wilds Free Spins adds up to six random wilds on every spin. Neither mode can be retriggered. Multiplier and Random Wilds sit alongside Megaways in this game.

Before you set a budget for a session, accept that the bonus round comes at random. Nobody can tell in advance how often The Dog House Megaways™ will trigger its free spins. The result of one session is random whatever the RTP, and the RTP of 96.55 describes the return over a very large number of spins, not the outcome you will see tonight.
Before you compare return figures, check which RTP version the game runs on this site. That detail is shown only in the game rules, so read them before your first stake. Versions can differ in their return and maximum win, and the rules set the figure that applies to you.
Before you aim for the top prize, be clear what the maximum win means. The game pays at most 12,305 times the bet, and that ceiling is reached very rarely. A large multiplier on one spin is possible, but it cannot be planned, and it is not a result you can expect from a session.
You must be 18+ to play. For help in Australia, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or register with BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Decide how much you can lose on this slot before you open a session. Write that amount down and stop when it is gone.
Choose your stop point before the first spin, and keep to it after a big win. A win does not change the plan you made.
Set deposit and loss limits in your account before you play this slot, so the session ends by your plan rather than the balance.
If the game stops being fun, take a break or self-exclude with BetStop. Stopping early means the plan is working, not that you have lost.

The Dog House Megaways™
After reading, you will know how this slot plays, which bets it allows and what it cannot promise.
The Dog House Megaways™ is a high volatility slot. High volatility means wins are less frequent but can be larger when they land, so a session can run long without a win or end quickly. Nobody can know in advance when a win will come.
The maximum win is 12,305 times the bet. The top prize in dollars depends on the stake you choose, so the same spin pays more on a larger bet. Treat the multiple as the ceiling, because no round can pay above it.
Each release in the series has its own RTP and maximum win, so a similar name does not mean the same payout. Compare those two figures in the versions table before you pick one. The table lists the other releases side by side with this one.
The lowest bet is A$0.20 and the highest bet allowed here is A$240. The bets used as examples on this page, A$0.20 and A$2, sit inside that range but are not its limits. Pick a bet that keeps each spin small against your budget.
