What changed versus The Dog House
Compared with the five-reel The Dog House and even the first The Dog House Megaways, this version rewrites the maths of the wild:
| Feature | The Dog House | Megaways 1000 |
|---|---|---|
| Grid | 5x3, 20 lines | 6 reels up to 7 symbols, up to 117,649 ways |
| Wild multipliers | 2x or 3x, added | x1 to x1000, multiplied |
| Scatters | Regular only, reels 1, 3, 5 | Scatters and super scatters on all reels |
| Extras | None | Ante Bet, Super Spins, three buy tiers |
| RTP | 96.51% | 96.50% |
| Bet range | 0.20 to 100 | 0.20 to 240 |
| Max win | 6,750x | 25,000x |
The demo splash screen confirms the 25,000x cap. The rules screen of your build is the reference for everything else, including the exact RTP.
How a spin works
- Six reels each show a random number of symbols, up to 7, creating up to 117,649 ways. Our ways guide shows how the count is built.
- Wins pay for matching symbols on adjacent reels from the left. Six dogs pay 1.5x to 7.5x your stake; six of the other symbols pay 0.5x to 1.5x.
- Kennel wilds can land on reels 2 to 5 with a multiplier from x1 to x1000.
- When two or more wilds are part of the same win, their values multiply, not add.
- Scatters and super scatters can land on any reel and lead into the bonus menu.
Multiplying wilds with a worked example
This is the change that defines the game. In earlier editions a 3x and a 2x wild made 5x. Here the same pair makes 6x, and larger values escalate fast: a x10 and a x5 wild in one win give x50. Our multipliers guide compares both systems.
Worked example at a 1.00 stake: the top dog lands on reels 1, 3 and 6, a x10 wild sits on reel 2, a x5 wild on reel 4 and a dog on reel 5. That six-of-a-kind way pays 7.50, and 10 x 5 = x50 turns it into 375.00. Add a x2 wild on reel 5 in place of the dog and the multiplier becomes 10 x 5 x 2 = x100, so the same way returns 750.00.
The flip side: most wilds carry low values, and x1 wilds add nothing to the multiplier. The large numbers are there, but they are rare.
Free spins, Super Bonus and All Super Bonus
Three or more scatters start free spins. Three, four, five or six give 7, 12, 15 or 20 spins, and you pick a mode:
- Sticky Wilds. Wilds on the middle four reels stay for the rest of the round with multipliers from x1 to x1000.
- Random Wilds. Each spin drops up to 6 wilds with x1 to x1000 on the grid; they do not stay.
The super scatter upgrades the round. If at least one super scatter is among your three or more scatters, you get the Super Bonus, where every spin brings a random number of wilds or sticky wilds on the middle four reels. If three to six of the scatters are super scatters, you enter the All Super Bonus, where all wilds stay. No mode can be retriggered.
A quick illustration at 1.00: in Sticky Wilds you hold x4 on reel 2 and x5 on reel 4 after spin 3. Any later win that runs through both carries x20, so a 1.50 six-of-a-kind way pays 30.00 on each spin it repeats.
Ante Bet and Super Spins
The Ante Bet triples your stake and makes the bonus ten times as likely to trigger. At a 1.00 base, each spin costs 3.00. Two Super Spin options replace normal spins at a fixed price:
| Option | Cost | What it guarantees |
|---|---|---|
| Ante Bet | 3x stake per spin | 10x the bonus chance |
| Super Spin 1 | 20x per spin | At least 2 wilds |
| Super Spin 2 | 500x per spin | At least 3 wilds, one of them x25 or higher |
Super Spins cannot trigger free spins, so they are pure base-game plays with boosted wilds.
Put the costs side by side and the trade-offs become clear. With a budget of 100.00 at a 0.20 stake, you get 500 normal spins, about 166 spins with the Ante Bet active, 25 Super Spin 1 rounds or a single Super Spin 2. The first two keep the chance of reaching free spins; the Super Spins give up that chance in exchange for guaranteed wilds on every paid spin. There is no option that is better in general, only one that fits how you want your budget to behave.
Bonus buy options
Three buys are on offer:
- Free Spins, 100x. A standard round with the usual mode choice.
- Super Free Spins 1, 500x. Starts the Super Bonus or the All Super Bonus.
- Super Free Spins 2, 2,500x. In sticky mode, a sticky wild of x25 or more lands on the first spin; in random mode, a wild of x25 or more lands on every spin.
At a 0.20 stake the tiers cost 20.00, 100.00 and 500.00. At 1.00 they cost 100.00, 500.00 and 2,500.00. Price your session around those numbers before you click.
Practical checks before you play
- Use the demo to try every option once. The difference between a Random Wilds round and a Super Spin 2 is obvious only when you see it.
- Read the rules screen for the RTP of your build and for the bet range; the standard range is 0.20 to 240.
- Decide in advance which features you will use. Ante Bet and the buys multiply spending quickly, and none of them changes the random outcome of a spin.
- Set a loss limit and stick to it. The 25,000x cap is a ceiling, not an expectation.

Super Spin 1 costs 20x per spin and guarantees at least two wilds. Super Spin 2 costs 500x and guarantees at least three wilds, one worth x25 or more. Super Spins cannot trigger free spins.
