Dog House Slot Symbols and Paytables

The same four dogs have starred in all nine Dog House games, dressed as cowboys, pirates, royals and circus acts. Here is every dog, wild and bonus symbol in the series, what each one pays in each game, and how the wilds and bonus symbols differ from game to game.

The cast

Every dog, wild and bonus symbol

The Rottweiler is always the top symbol. The Shih Tzu with her pink bow, the Pug and the Dachshund follow, except in Royal Hunt, where the Dachshund goes hunting and moves up to second place. The "up to" figure is the best single win for that dog: five on a line, six of a kind on one Megaways way, or a cluster of 20 or more in Muttley Crew.

Four things this table shows:

Five games share one paytable. The Dog House, Dice Show, Dog or Alive, Royal Hunt and The Big Dog House all pay 37.5x for five top dogs; only the costumes change.
Multihold pays less per line: 25x for five Rottweilers instead of 37.5x. It makes up for it with up to four grids in the free spins, each paying its own lines.
Megaways pays look small because they are paid per way. Six Rottweilers on one way pay 7.5x, but six across several ways pay that again for each way.
Muttley Crew has the biggest single pays: 50x for a cluster of 20 or more Rottweilers. Clusters that size are rare without a few wilds.

The rest of the reels

Collars, bones and card symbols

Below the dogs sit two mid symbols, a studded collar and a bone, and then the card ranks A, K, Q, J and 10. In the classic games five collars pay 7.5x and five bones 5x, while A and K pay 2.5x and Q, J and 10 pay 1.25x.

The themed sequels redraw them to fit: the collar gets a sheriff's star in Dog or Alive and a crown tag in Royal Hunt, the bone has bullet holes in the Wild West and turns into a teacup of bones at the royal hunt, and in Dice Show every symbol carries a die. Muttley Crew drops the collar altogether and keeps a bone with a skull.

These low symbols land far more often than the dogs, so they make most of your small wins. With a 3x wild on the line, though, even three tens pay 0.3x instead of 0.1x.

Page 1 of the game rules: the Rottweiler pays $75 for 5, the Shih Tzu $50, the Pug $30, the Dachshund $20, the collar $15 and the bone $10 at a $2 bet, with A to 10 below and the wild rules underneath. — The original's paytable at a $2 bet: halve the dollar figures for multiples of the bet.

In every game the wilds stick in the free spins, except in the Raining and Random Wilds modes of the two Megaways games, and except the ghost wild in The Big Dog House, which never sticks. Our demo statistics count how many sticky wilds a typical round collects.
